About Jess Harnell

Jess Harnell: The Voice of a Generation

From his early days as a struggling musician to his rise as one of the most sought-after voice actors in Hollywood, Jess Harnell has always been a force to be reckoned with. Born on December 23, 1963, in Teaneck, New Jersey, Harnell discovered his love for music at a young age and began performing in local bands as a teenager.

After moving to Los Angeles in the early 1980s, Harnell landed his first big break as the lead singer of the rock band Rock Sugar. The band's unique blend of classic rock and pop hits quickly gained a following, and Harnell's powerful vocals and dynamic stage presence earned him a reputation as one of the most electrifying performers in the business.

But it was Harnell's talent as a voice actor that truly set him apart. Over the years, he has lent his voice to some of the most iconic characters in animation, including Wakko Warner in Animaniacs, Ironhide in the Transformers franchise, and Captain Hero in Drawn Together. His ability to bring these characters to life with humor, heart, and nuance has made him a favorite among fans and industry insiders alike.

Despite his success, Harnell remains humble and grateful for the opportunities that have come his way. In a 2019 interview with Forbes, he credited his success to his passion for his craft and his willingness to take risks and try new things.

"I think the key to success in any field is to never stop learning and growing," he said. "You have to be willing to take chances and put yourself out there, even if it means failing sometimes. That's how you learn and improve."

Today, Harnell continues to be a prolific voice actor and musician, with a number of exciting projects in the works. Whether he's belting out a rock anthem or bringing a beloved cartoon character to life, he remains one of the most talented and versatile performers of his generation.
