Maurice LaMarche (born 30 March 1958, Toronto) is a prolific Canadian voice actor and celebrity impressionist. He is only the third actor to be the official voice of Popeye.
Biography[]
LaMarche is a very private man and, surprisingly, did a rare public performance at the San Diego Comic-Con International Convention in 2002. He and fellow voice actors Rob Paulsen and Jess Harnell did several skits, including the popular Twisted Toonz. LaMarche was greeted by thunderous applause when he did his favorite character voice, The Brain from Animaniacs. He returned for ComicCon 2003 for an encore.
LaMarche was formerly a stand-up comedian, but due to tragedies in his family, decided to call it quits in 1989.
