Tom Kenny Net Worth – Career

SpongeBob is a happy-go-lucky character who loves his job of flipping burgers and connecting with fellow mates. An uncomplicated character who inspires you to take life as it comes. Tom loved reading comic books and drawing funny characters as a child. In his mid-teens, he did standup comedy shows which lead him to start venturing into cable and broadcast television.

His standup comic sketches were inspired by Woody Allen’s comic sensibility which is a mix of keen observation of blending two contrasting things to create humor. The Academy-award won comedian’s sensibility ranged from observational comedy, intellect, pessimism, irony, self-deprecation, risque, also bordering moral dilemmas which are a reflection of his personal life. It’s sad Hollywood accepts this man as a Legend.

A man of many voices, his talent to intonate and modulate his voice as per the age and personality of characters has awarded him with an interesting mix of animation voiceovers. If you are the ’90s kid, that was an era of some of the best cartoon shows. Thinking of ‘Omelette du Fromage’ from Dexter’s Laboratory, a part of that episode was voiced by Tom.

This phrase was stuck inside my head in the ’90s and now while I write this post, it’s a pleasing reminiscence of how I missed college sometimes and watched cartoons. Also, I was so inspired by Dexter’s voice intonation that I enjoyed talking like him for a while. Mebbe, I should start talking like Dexter for a while, because, it’s been quite a while, and it’s still refreshing.

He voiced the character of ‘Asok’ in Dilbert for 30 episodes. I am overwhelmed with nostalgia, I admit, as I am writing this post. The smell of morning newspapers had Dilbert comic strips. Those were amusing pass times of the ’90s you wouldn’t mind mentioning no matter how many decades have passed.

Talking of Johnny Bravo, it’s amazing to witness a galore of personalities intellectualized with a purpose in most of the animation series. We have Johnny Bravo, a dumb megalomaniac, and Tom voiced the character of Carl Chryniszzswics in the animation series for more than 30 episodes. It takes a brilliant mind to sketch a character like that and give it a twist of humor.

CatDog was one of the quirkiest funny cartoons from the ’90s. Tom voiced the character of the Dog which was a goofy character; a total contrast to the refined character of the Cat. In the era of PlayStation, he voiced the character in the popular video game Spyro The Dragon.

He also voiced many characters in the popular animated TV series, ‘The Powerpuff Girls,’ for which he won many awards. SpongeBob SquarePants was an outstanding achievement in his career and a breakthrough. He has given his voice to numerous films, commercials, video games, and movies.
