Frank has a supporting role as Mr. Whitacre in the Steven Soderbergh thriller "The Informant" with Matt Damon and Scott Bakula which is scheduled for release 10/09/09: "I am sneaky and I do love a good surprise. Yes, I am playing Matt's father in The Informant. It's not that I won't do an on camera part now and then, it's just that I'm not too keen on auditioning. This was offered to me and how could I pass it up. It is a very small part, so don't blink..." -Frank Welker (4/8/2009) |
Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen features Frank as the voices of Soundwave and Ravage. He also provides vocal effects for Grindor and Devastator. The reviews are mixed, but it's doing great at the box office. |
Read Frank's awesome Toyfare Magazine (#142, June 2009) Interview! |
You might want to buy or rent a copy of The Tale of Despereaux just to check this out. One of the DVD's bonus features is an extended sneak peek of the all-new movie, Curious George 2: Follow That Monkey! |

The Incredible Mr. Don Knotts I can attest to the validity of Frank's statement about him being "sneaky" and loving surprises. Out of the blue, a copy of The Incredible Don Knotts showed up at my house on 4/10/09. I was expecting a book from Scott Innes, so I didn't even open the package at first. When I did open it, I was very surprised to read the gift note: "Thought you might enjoy the interview in this great new book by Steve Cox. F." Frank is on pages 108-9, 112-14, 118, 121, 157, 167 and 172. In words and pics! |
Trivia: In which film do Scott Bakula, Don Knotts and Frank Welker all have roles? A: Warner Bros/Turner Feature Animation's Cats Don't Dance (1997). It features all three men's voices as Danny, T.W. (Tumble Weed) Turtle and Farley Wink, respectively. Rick Logan is T.W.'s singing voice. |

"Mark Evanier is one of my favorite directors. Not only is he great with actors, he has more knowledge in his little pinkie than anybody in the business we call show. He is a smart man." -Frank Welker (8/24/2008)

Important Note: Please write to Frank's agency (CESD) for convention, interview (websites or books) and autograph requests. Frank doesn't mind getting notices about possible appearances via email, but he will not be able to reply to you, as it is his agency that handles his bookings. Never phone or visit any talent offices without an appointment. CESD's address is below: |

With a body of work that spans over 40 years, it is very difficult to cover all the roles Frank has done. If you'd like to help by contributing content, I'd be very happy to post your items! Frank is very involved with his site and has answered a ton of fan mail on our ever-expanding ASK FRANK page. Feel free to send Frank a question or two. Please make sure your question(s) haven't already been answered on the page. I post Frank's replies as I receive them, make sure to check the ASK FRANK page often. Thank you.

Kath Soucie discusses her heroes:
"Heroes? Frank Welker, Frank Welker and Frank Welker. He is hands down my most giant hero in the animation VO community. He is an amazingly gifted genius. He can create every sound that you might hear in a jungle: the drip of the raindrops, the wind rustling in the trees, and all of the inhabitants that you might encounter there. I love animals. I mean I love animals and Frank's great ability is that not only can he make the sounds of the animals; he can give them a true voice. I've done episodes of cartoons that had an environmental bent focusing on things like ivory poaching, global warming. He portrayed a mother elephant being torn from her baby by ivory poachers for her tusks. The mother's cry and the baby's anguish were all there in Frank's voice. Captain Planet did a show centering on puppy mills and what he did in that show... there wasn't a dry eye in the house. I've heard him do dozens of sensitive performances through the years and he always, always delivers something so special and unique and moving."
