I recently spoke with renowned voice actor Jon Allen about the newest season of 'Rick and Morty', where he continues to bring life to the eccentric and beloved character Mr. Poopy Butthole. Allen took over voicing the fan-favorite character and has helped evolve him from quirky post-credit appearances into a prominent presence in the show’s storyline. This includes standout moments like the season 7 premiere, where Mr. Poopy Butthole leads Rick’s crew on a chaotic, drug-fueled party spree, a role that showcases Allen’s comedic instincts and vocal range.
During our conversation, we also talked about our unexpected connection to professional wrestling. With a resemblance to ECW legend Stevie Richards, Allen actually began his wrestling career performing with the Ballard Bros. after starting as a commentator, blending showmanship with athleticism. Whether in the ring or behind a microphone, his ability to entertain is clear, and he continues to be active in the wrestling world as both a performer and commentator.
Allen is a seasoned voice actor, comedian and on-camera talent whose career spans over two decades. He first honed his comedic chops at a young age, mimicking teachers and classmates and producing sketch comedy albums in junior high. His sharp impressions and original characters became staples of his stand-up, culminating in a win at the 2014 'I'm Funnier Than' Comedy Contest. His live performances mix sketch, character-driven humor and celebrity impressions; all of which feed directly into his standout voiceover work.
Beyond 'Rick and Morty', Allen’s voice has appeared across a wide spectrum of anime and video games. His credits include fan-favorite titles like 'JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure', 'Dragon Ball Super', 'Sword Art Online' and 'Mob Psycho 100', along with video games such as 'Genshin Impact', 'Smite', 'Pokemon Masters' and 'Pain'. His on-camera roles include appearances in series like, 'The Ex-List' and 'My Profile Story', showcasing his versatility across genres and formats.
Allen’s contributions to the industry extend into voiceover education as well, his techniques have been highlighted at the Voiceover International Creative Experience and he appears in 'The Art of Voice Acting', where he demonstrates vocal warm-up practices.
Whether he's animating outrageous cartoon characters, impersonating celebrities, captivating a crowd with stand-up or stepping into the wrestling ring, Jon Allen brings humor, energy and range to everything he does. His dynamic career is a testament to both his talent and his relentless creativity.
'Rick and Morty' airs on Cartoon Network and streams on HBO Max.
