From the moment of its inception, "Rick and Morty" has thrived on its ability to bring in weird side characters to bounce off of the titular duo. From Dan Harmon's endlessly deadpan Birdperson to Chris Parnell's perpetually down-on-his-luck Jerry Smith , the series has no shortage of weirdos and freaks to fill out its science fiction universe.

One of Squanchy's defining characteristics is his unique voice, which is provided by none other than voice acting legend Tom Kenny. No stranger to the world of animation, Kenny has racked up an impressive IMDb list of credits over the years, across a wide range of genres and franchises. You've almost certainly heard his voice prior to his time on "Rick and Morty," and these are some of his most iconic roles to date.

One of the earliest voiceover roles that s kids or just fans of good animation might recognize Tom Kenny from is his role as Heffer Wolfe in the beloved Nickelodeon series " Rocko's Modern Life. He's not quite as intelligent as Rocko or Filbert Turtle, but Heffer is the member of the gang who likes to have a good time -— which often gets everyone into trouble.

He established several catchphrases over the course of "Rocko's Modern Life," but arguably his most well-known of the bunch is "That was a hoot! Tom Kenny has portrayed a wide range of boisterous and happy animals throughout his career, and playing Heffer Wolfe soon led to a role as Dog in the Nickelodeon series " CatDog.

While Cat Jim Cummings is prim and proper, Dog is always on the lookout for a good time —- which often gets in the way of Cat's more complex schemes. Beyond Kenny's involvement in the show, the series' cast included a number of beloved voice actors, including Carlos Alazraqui, Maria Bamford, and Billy West, among others. Like "Rocko's Modern Life," the show helped set the stage for some of the even bigger Nickelodeon roles that Kenny would eventually take on.

Tom Kenny has portrayed numerous characters over the years, but most people will certainly recognize him as the voice of a certain good-hearted undersea creature. In , he premiered as the titular character of a little Nickelodeon show called "SpongeBob SquarePants," which went on to dominate the kid network's lineup for years. The series centers on SpongeBob SquarePants, a loveable sea sponge who lives in a fictional undersea town called Bikini Bottom, loves to practice karate, and loves his job as a fry cook at The Krusty Krab.

There is a solid case to be made that, even with all of his other immense accomplishments, SpongeBob SquarePants is the role that Kenny will ultimately be remembered for.
