If you're a fan of the show, you know it's the voices that bring these outrageous characters to life. So, let's meet the incredible cast behind your favorite Big Mouth characters! Guys, explore more in Guides And Explainers and voices on big mouth.
The Main Crew: Nick Kroll and Friends
Big Mouth is the brainchild of Nick Kroll and his friends Andrew Goldberg, Mark Levin, and Jennifer Flackett. Kroll voices several characters, including the show's co-lead, Moses "Mo" Bergstein. Mo is your average seventh-grader dealing with the horrors of puberty, but with a lot more talking genitals and hormone monsters.
John Mulaney: The Voice of Jack
Joining Kroll is John Mulaney as Jack Durden, Mo's best friend and the voice of reason (when he's not being a total dork). Mulaney, known for his stand-up specials and creating Crashing with Pete Holmes, brings a perfect balance of wit and warmth to Jack.
Jessica Lowe: The Voice of Lola
Jessica Lowe voices Lola Skumpy, the new girl at school who quickly becomes Mo's love interest. Lowe, who you might recognize from The Thrilling Adventure Hour or Veep, lends her unique comedic timing to Lola, making her equal parts charming and awkward.
The Hormone Monsters and Friends
Big Mouth introduces us to a whole new set of characters: the Hormone Monsters. These creatures represent the characters' raging hormones, causing all sorts of chaotic and hilarious situations.
Nick Kroll: The Voice of the Hormone Monster
Yep, Kroll voices the Hormone Monster (later Hormone Hormone in season 2) too. This creature is a manifestation of Mo's hormones, constantly pushing him towards puberty and all its glorious (and gross) moments.
Maya Rudolph: The Voice of the Hormone Monstress
Maya Rudolph lends her incredible comedic talents to the Hormone Monstress, the female counterpart to the Hormone Monster. She represents the hormonal changes happening to the show's female characters, particularly Missy Foreman-Greenwald.
The Teachers and Adults
Big Mouth doesn't shy away from tackling adult themes, and that includes exploring the lives of the grown-ups around the kids.
John Oliver: The Voice of Mr. Friggs
John Oliver voices Mr. Friggs, the kids' lovably clueless music teacher. Oliver, known for his hit show Last Week Tonight, brings his signature dry wit to the character, making every awkward moment even funnier.
Parker Posey: The Voice of Mrs. Gina Rubenstein
Parker Posey voices Mrs. Gina Rubenstein, the kids' equally awkward and often inappropriate school counselor. Posey, who you might recognize from You've Got Mail or Party Girl, brings her signature quirkiness to the character, making her a fan favorite.
The Ghost of Duke Ellington and Other Special Guests
Big Mouth is known for its wild and unpredictable cameos, with The Ghost of Duke Ellington (voiced by Jordan Peele) being one of the most memorable. Throughout the series, we've seen a whole host of special guests, from Chelsea Peretti as Diane, the ghost of a former student, to Paul F. Tompkins as Matt Damon, the ghost of a famous actor.
The Magic of Big Mouth Voices
What makes Big Mouth truly special is the way these incredible voices come together to create a world that's equal parts hilarious and heartwarming. Each character is unique, with their own distinct voice and personality, making it easy to get invested in their stories.
So, the next time you're laughing (or cringing) along with Big Mouth, remember the incredible cast behind the scenes. From Nick Kroll to Maya Rudolph, these talented individuals bring the show's outrageous characters to life in ways that are both hilarious and relatable. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have some hormone monster-induced chaos to attend to. Until next time, animation lovers!
