Celebs Who Voiced Cartoon Characters

Whoppi Goldberg as Shenzi the hyena

Who could forget those hilarious and mischievous hyenas in Disney’s The Lion King? Throughout the movie they sing and pester the young Simba, but did you know the voice behind one of them is none other than Whoppi Goldberg?

She has an EGOT

Fun fact: Whoppi’s given name is actually Caryn Elaine Johnson. She is one of the few actresses who has ever achieved winning an Emmy, a Tony, an Academy Award and a Grammy (sometimes all four awards are referred to as an EGOT). Her talent really knows no bounds as she seamlessly floats between movies and her daytime talk show with the other ladies of The View. Though currently single, the actress has been married 3 times and has one child. She definitely deserves every bit of her $45 million net worth, and we can’t wait to see what this talented woman comes up with next.
