Timeline

1952

Bill Farmer (born November 14, 1952) is an American voice actor, comedian and impressionist.

Bill Farmer was born on November 14, 1952, in Pratt, Kansas, the second child in his family.

His parents were of English and Welsh descent.

Farmer began doing voices, at the age of ten, involved doing impressions, especially those of Western stars like John Wayne or Walter Brennan.

He and his friends would sometimes go through fast food drive-thrus and order foods in his character voices.

1975

Farmer graduated from the University of Kansas in 1975, where he became a member of the Sigma Chi Fraternity.

In university, he found work in radio and TV and then moved on to stand-up comedy as an impressionist.

1982

In 1982, while he was still doing stand-up comedy, Farmer worked at a comedy club called the Comedy Corner in Dallas, Texas.

1985

Farmer has been married to his wife, Jennifer Wynne, since 1985.

Together they have a son, Austin.

1986

He continued to work there until his move to Hollywood in 1986.

His decision to move to California came from a Dallas commercial agent who suggested that, given his talent for voices, he should try his luck in California.

He was recently married, but he and his wife talked it over and came to an arrangement.

She stayed back in Dallas while he commuted for a year after he got an apartment.

Then four months after his moving out to Hollywood, his agent asked him if he could do any Disney characters.

Farmer asserts that voice acting is not about funny voices, but about acting.

His mentor was the versatile voice actor Daws Butler, the man behind many of Hanna-Barbera's characters.

He taught Farmer that when doing cartoon voices, a person is not merely doing a funny voice, but they are an actor and the acting is premier and that one has to think like the character one is performing.

Upon moving to Hollywood, he got a call for an open audition for the Disney character Goofy.

When he auditioned for the role, he studied the way the original actor Pinto Colvig performed as Goofy in the classic cartoons.

He studied the hilarious laugh and the distinctive "gawrsh".

1987

He has performed the voice of the Disney character Goofy since 1987, and has also been the voice of Pluto and Horace Horsecollar since 1990.

After auditioning for the role, he inherited the voice of Goofy in January 1987 (and also Pluto in 1990).

He originated the voice of Horace Horsecollar in Disney's version of The Prince and the Pauper and has played him ever since as well.

Farmer also performed additional voices on The New Adventures of Mighty Mouse (1987) and Astro Boy (2004).

In 1987, Farmer had a small part as reporter Justin Ballard-Watkins in the film RoboCop.

1996
