Townsend Coleman

"I am that jerk!"

Townsend Coleman (born May 28, 1954) is an American voice actor. Coleman has done voices for many, many cartoons: though he is arguably best known for his role as the title character in The Tick animated series (coincidentally also voice directed by Susan Blu), he has also done Inspector Gadget (playing Corporal Capeman), the animated version of Fraggle Rock (playing Gobo Fraggle), Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (playing Michaelangelo—among many other characters—in the 1987 series, and making a cameo as "80's Michaelangelo" in the 2012 series episode "Wormquake!"), Jem (playing Riot), Batman: The Animated Series, Lego Batman 2: DC Superheroes and the Superman: Doomsday direct to video movie, to name a few credits. He's also been the voice of Jason Whitaker, since 1994, on the radio series Adventures in Odyssey.

He was one of the commercial announcers for Hub Network.

Notes

• At the Cartoon Network panel at BotCon 2008, it was revealed that much of Sentinel Prime's character design evolved after Townsend Coleman was cast for the role, specifically the visual cues to Coleman's earlier role as the Tick.

• Coleman is credited with voicing News Bot in "The Elite Guard", but the character does not actually appear in that episode.

• Coleman was the announcer for "Huboom!," the segment on Hub Network home to reruns of the original Transformers cartoon.
