45 Actors You Probably Didn’t Know Were the Voices Behind Animated Characters

Although The Lion King is considered a kids’ or family movie, its cast is filled with plenty of well-known stars, even in some of the smaller roles. As one of Disney’s all-time favorites, we can see why they wouldn’t have it any other way. Rowan Atkinson, aka Mr. Bean, lends his voice to Zazu for The Lion King.

As you might remember, in the movie, Zazu is a red-billed hornbill who later becomes Mufasa’s royal advisor. Other film and television credits of Rowan Atkinson’s include the Blackadder series and the Johnny English franchise. He also has an impressive IQ of 178, which makes him a super genius!
