John Ratzenberger voice roles outside of Pixar
by adampkalb | created - 12 Nov 2019 | updated - 30 Mar 2020 | PublicIn Toy Story at 20, John Ratzenberger said that he liked playing Hamm in Toy Story so much, he wanted to have a part in every Pixar movie, and now he does. Every Pixar film has a character who sounds like Hamm. Cars even made fun of this when Mack watched the car world-equivalent of Pixar films and noticed "they're just using the same actor over and over." However, for a TV actor also famous for being in all 11 seasons of Cheers, I am a bit surprised that John hardly gets cast for other animated roles a bit more often. Maybe it's because he has a very recognizable voice that never changes for any part he has, and he also has a lot of other casual movie and TV roles outside of the Pixar universe. However, such roles do exist for him, but not quite as many as Seth MacFarlane has outside Family Guy and American Dad.
