Thomas James "Tom" Kenny (born July 13, 1962) is an American actor and comedian, known for his long-running-role as SpongeBob SquarePants in the television series of the same name, as well as the live-action character Patchy the Pirate, Gary the Snail and the French narrator based on Jacques Cousteau. His other voice acting roles include the Narrator and Mayor in the Powerpuff Girls, Heffer in Rocko's Modern Life, Dog in CatDog, Ice King in Adventure Time and Spryo in the Spyro the Dragon video game series.
