Meet Voice Actor Billy West at Retro Con 2026!


GOOD NEWS, EVERYONE!

The legendary Billy West is officially heading to Retro Con 2026, September 12th & 13th in Oaks, PA! We’re thrilled to welcome one of the most versatile and prolific voice actors in history!

Billy’s work on Futurama is a masterclass in range, as he provides the voices for a huge portion of the Planet Express crew. He carries the heart of the show as the lazy time-displaced Philip J. Fry, as well as the genius/dangerous Professor Farnsworth, the inept but lovable Dr. Zoidberg, and the “distinguished” Zapp Brannigan. The show has called several networks its home since premiering in 1999, most recently Hulu where a new season will premiere this year!

Before he headed to the future, Billy was a cornerstone of the 90’s Nicktoons revolution! On The Ren & Stimpy Show, he brought “happy-happy, joy-joy” enthusiasm to our screens, voicing the dim-witted but lovable Stimpy J. Cat, and later the high-strung and temperamental Ren Höek. Fans will never forget the hilarity of Ren screaming “STIMPY, YOU EEDIOT!!” or the surreal adventures and visuals that pushed the boundaries of kids animation at the time.

Billy also provided the original heart and soul of Nickelodeon’s ‘Doug’, as both Doug Funnie and his rival Roger Klotz. This duality showcased his incredible ability to play both the relatable hero and the neighborhood bully in the same scene, making the show a timeless staple of 90’s nostalgia.

Billy also took on the mantle of animation royalty when he stepped into the role of the world’s most famous rabbit for the 1996 blockbuster Space Jam! Providing the voices for both Bugs Bunny and Elmer Fudd, he helped lead the Tune Squad to victory against the fearsome Monstars.

Other roles you may have heard Billy in include “Red” in the M&M candy commercials, Buzz the Honey-Nut Cheerios bee, Slimer from ‘Extreme Ghostbusters’, Shaggy in ‘Scooby-Doo on Zombie Island’, Pidge on ‘Voltron: The Third Dimension’, Kraab on the original ‘Ben 10’, and literally hundreds more!

Don’t miss this rare opportunity to meet a true icon of the industry in person!
