Classic Conversations: Pop culture Interviews with Jeff Dwoskin

Behind the Voice – Cam Clarke's Journey Through Animation, Nostalgia, and Legacy


Listen Later

Voiceover legend Cam Clarke joins the conversation with over 400 credits to his name, from Leonardo of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles to Simba in The Lion King II, to the nostalgic Snoopy. Cam dives into stories from his early days as a child performer in the King Family, shares what inspired his massive coffee table book documenting over a century of family entertainment, and reveals the behind-the-scenes fun and frustrations of the animation world. From Comic Con encounters to voiceover hacks, Cam brings decades of characters and charm into one unforgettable chat.

Episode Highlights:

  • Cam reveals the coin toss that landed him the role of Leonardo in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
  • The King Family's variety show origins, their rivalry with the Osmonds, and 100 years of entertainment history
  • Cam's journey from stage to sound booth, including voicing Simba, He-Man, Snoopy, and Mr. Fantastic
  • Why Cam's book Now They're All Here was partly born from ego—and fully born from love
  • Behind-the-scenes stories from Comic-Cons, including fan love, awkward compliments, and famous encounters
  • What it's like to be everyone's "second favorite turtle"—and why he's proud of it
  • The real story behind being fired and rehired as a California Raisin (yes, really)
