Michael Yarmush
Michael Yarmush was the original voice of Arthur Read for the TV series, voicing the character from Season 1 to Season 5 and Arthur's Perfect Christmas. Yarmush now provides the voice of Tough Customers member Slink. Although, his Arthur voice can still be heard in the theme song of the show. He also provided the voice of the waiter Jay in the Season 10 premiere "Happy Anniversary," which celebrated ten years of the series. 22 years later after Michael departed from voicing Arthur in 2000, he return to do his voice for the show's series finale episode "All Grown Up". But this time, he plays the Adult Arthur.
Trivia[edit]
- He is the only voice actor to reprise his main role he landed for the show's series finale after departing from voicing his character after the past season.
- He is also the first to return to play a different character (Slink) after leaving the series.
- Marc Brown revealed that he was very impressed at Yarmush's performance as Arthur Read so he let him continue on the role as long as he likes, until he got to old to do so. [citation needed]
