If you’re one of the few who hasn’t seen Aaron Paul’s face in a movie or TV show over the years, it’s still quite possible you’ve experienced one of his performances. Though the actor has clearly kept himself more than gainfully employed in the live-action sector, he’s also lent his distinctive voice to a handful of animated projects. Among the actor’s voice credits, you’ll find a brief appearance on Robot Chicken for their DC Comics special, and a three-episode run on the animated TRON: Uprising series.
Of course, fans of Netflix’s groundbreaking, tragi-comic animated series, BoJack Horseman, will no doubt recognize Paul as the voice behind everybody’s favorite asexual ingenue, Todd Chavez. Paul portrayed the lovable Todd in all 77 episodes of the critically adored series, and frequently stole scenes from co-stars Will Arnett, Amy Sedaris, Alison Brie, and Paul F. Tompkins with a performance as soul-searchingly earnest as it was hilariously naive and socially inept.
If you managed to miss all of the above shows, movies, and series, we’re still betting a sharp-eared few among you were able pick Aaron Paul’s voice from the ether when it turned up on one of Black Mirror’s most memorable episodes, “USS Callister.” Yes, that’s the beyond-brilliant episode in which Jesse Plemmons’ demented genius programmer plugs himself into a Star Trek-like VR experience with genetically-engineered NPC versions of real-life folks. Yes, that was Aaron Paul chiming in as a taunting online gamer in the series. And yes, we, too, got chills at the mini-Breaking Bad reunion that went down during the episode, even if the pair were unnervingly re-united a couple of years later for El Camino.
