My dad used to work with him in advertising. I never met him in person, but one year for my birthday, he sent me a cassette tape of himself singing "Happy Birthday" in Chas, Drew and Grandpa Boris's voices. One of my greatest childhood memories!

It's really cool that they got him back for Quackerjack in the new DuckTales. And, he still has it.^^

Don’t forget the voice of Raziel in Crystal Dynamics’ video game Legacy Of Kain: Soul Reaver. As well as the voice of Parkay margarine.

A mite disappointed they did not show a clip of him voicing Raziel, from the Legacy of Kain series.

I only knew him as Drew from Rugrats. I was amazed when I found out he also voiced Chaz, Boris, and countless other cartoon characters--mostly before my time. Also, you forgot Naugus from Sonic the Hedgehog.

2:15 That guy sounds like Grandpa Boris. He obviously used the same voice for both characters.

After all these years only now finding out that the guy that voiced chuckys dad from rugrats is also the same guy who voiced Raziel from Soul Reaver I think my brain just melted.

For me his most iconic role of Michael Bell is Raziel fron Legacy of Kain. Simply because I'm not familiar with the other franchises at large being from Indonesia.

Ending on that Birdman scene was great.

I got to meet him in Cincinnati last week and he is a warm and gracious man. So unreal to hear him talk in a character voice while watching him stand there.

7:12 - Missing a number of Transformers characters, me thinks. Along with Bombshell and Prowl, he also voice Sideswipe, Scrapper, Swoop, First Aid, and Brainstorm - at least, according to IMDb (What you do instead of things... ;) )

Michael Bell was on 3's Company and I never thought he could do cartoon voices back in the day

He was Cyclops! My favorite Marvel Hero!

Boris and Chaz from Rugrats. Wow, what the range, and he can go a great Eastern European accent. Cool how he used versions of the voices he'd use for Drew and Chaz for other roles.

I love Chuckie Finster!!

Oof. Michael Bell voiced Eddie "The Fist" Auger from 'Inhumanoids' !!!! Awesome.

Can you do the many voices of Charlie Adler, Jeff Bennett, Dan Castellaneta, Jess Harrell, Tom Kenny, Phil Hartman, Gilbert Gottfried, Candi Milo, and Dom DeLuise? 😀

I wrote a fan letter to Mr. Bell lately. Even though he won’t be in it, I told him that I believe he will be the much better, more talented, and more charismatic voices for Drew Pickles, Chaz Finster, and Grandpa Boris than whoever they casted for the Rugrats reboot series, and that the chemistry between him and the rest of the old adult cast seemed more lively and organic than the new ones. I also wrote that he and Tress Macneille as the Pickles parents went together like peanut butter and jelly, or chocolate pudding and green jello, as a reference to the show.

8:45 Chaz sounds like he’s had a cold for several years.

5:50 #TheJetsons the movie (1990), I watched I was a childhood!!

"I... I was the bath water..." Oh God that nearly killed me!

You cannot leave out Raziel which is one is Mr. Bell's finest works.

Great stuff loved the old 80's cartoons especially the transformers series
