Voice Actors
Jerry is primarily mute in most incarnations of Tom and Jerry. William Hanna provided the vocal effects for Jerry in most of the 1940-58 Tom and Jerry shorts. Once, he was voiced by Lillian Randolph who often voices Mammy Two Shoes, but in The Milky Waif Jerry and Nibbles disguising themselves as black people to fool Tom (see Censorship for information). Vocal effects in the 1961/2 Gene Deitch shorts were provided by Allen Swift. Sara Berner sings and speaks for Jerry in Anchors Aweigh, while Dana Hill voices Jerry in Tom and Jerry: The Movie.

Famous quotes containing the words voice and/or actors:
“English audiences of working people are like an instrument that responds to the player. Thought ripples up and down them, and if in some heart the speaker strikes a dissonance there is a swift answer. Always the voice speaks from gallery or pit, the terrible voice which detaches itself in every English crowd, full of caustic wit, full of irony or, maybe, approval.”
—Mary Heaton Vorse (1874–1966)
“It was modesty that invented the word “philosopher” in Greece and left the magnificent overweening presumption in calling oneself wise to the actors of the spirit—the modesty of such monsters of pride and sovereignty as Pythagoras, as Plato.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
