John DiMaggio

My next celebrity autograph blog is John DiMaggio.


Whilst John is best known for his voice-over work as the 'ultimate robot lover' Bender in Futurara, one look at John's iMDb page and you'll see he's been a very busy man.


One of his first roles was in a 1996 episode of Law & Order as a bartender.  He has also appeared in bit roles on other well known TV shows such as Becker (in 2000) NYPD Blue (also in 2000) and CSI: NY (in 2004).

But a large chunk of John's work has been behind the microphone, and he has contributed to his voice in such animated series as Spawn (1999), Dr Doolittle 2 (2001), The Powerpuff Girls (2004), The Batman (also in 2004), TMNT (2007), Asterix and the Vikings (as Timandahalf) and in the recent animated movie, Wreck It Ralph, to name just a few.


But of course, he'll always be remembered as Bender.

Now, onto the autograph!  I attended the 2011 Armageddon Expo in Melbourne, and was lucky enough to meet John at the autograph table (the line was huge, as you could imagine).  He happily signed this 3x5 colour picture of Bender.


Score!
