William Richard Werstine (born April 16, 1952), known professionally as Billy West, is an American voice actor and comedian born in UsefulNotes/{{Detroit}}, UsefulNotes/{{Michigan}}. Put this guy in a room, give him a script and a mic and you can do a complete show with [[ManOfAThousandVoices 20+ individual voices]] (some of which will sound like they're pitched up or down or autotuned on the track, but aren't).

He's also quite adamant about not working on projects that prioritize [[CelebrityVoiceActor celebrity]] StuntCasting over actual voice actors which means that he's all but entirely absent from the filmographies of [[Creator/WaltDisneyAnimationStudios Disney]], Creator/{{Pixar}}, Creator/{{DreamWorks|Animation}}, and Creator/{{Illumination|Entertainment}}.[[labelnote:*]]Specifically, his issue is with casting celebrities for the sake of marketing purposes while they do nothing unique with their voice performances and simply play themselves. However, he doesn't mind some celebrity voice performances like Creator/RobinWilliams as [[WesternAnimation/{{Aladdin}} the Genie]], Creator/MikeMyers as Franchise/{{Shrek}}, and Creator/TomHanks as [[Franchise/ToyStory Woody]] because they all were playing unique characters with their voices.[[/labelnote]]
