Has anyone heard the M&M's commercials on the radio where a guy that sound a lot like Fry is in there too? Is it the same person who does Fry's voice?

Yes, it's Billy West, who plays Blue.

Is Fry Billy West's natural voice then?

Not really. Billy sounds similar but not exactly the same. He's doing a "voice" for Fry, even if it's similar to the one for Blue. I've heard him do a great Jay Leno, and he used to do Larry Fine from the 3 stooges on the Howard Stern Show. He also replaced John K as the voices of Ren and Stempy, was Bugs Bunny and Elmer Fudd in Space Jam, and was the original voice of Doug. So he's doing out there doing lots of different voices, but you just might not recognize them as him.

It's pretty near his natural voice. Check out this video: http://www.nnyconline.de/media/videos/west_interview.rm

The red M&M is Jon Lovitz. I think Billy West is the blue one.

No the Red M&M WAS Lovitz for a few early ads. It's now Billy doing Lovitz.

well, I at least know that the one commercial they rerun every Christmas - the one where Red and Santa see each other and faint - Red is voiced by Lovitz.

oh, and Yellow (Peanut) was done by John Goodman.

BTW, who's the woman who plays Green?

That Santa one is really old. That's one of the first CGI ones I think.

Lovitz.

They're all pretty good though, aren't they? Wasn't Deitrich Bader in some of 'em? I'm thinking of the 'cannabalism' commercial. That guy is _funny_. There was a wierd TV experiment done a few years ago (by Fox, if I'm not mistaken) which had two or three mini-stories packed into a half-hour. Bader was in one called either "The Searcher" or "The Seeker", something like that. Anyway, they'd have bits like this, where he'd knock on a door, lady answers...

Lady: "Who are you?"

Bader: (somewhat pompously) "I'm 'The Seeker'!!!!!"

Lady: "What are you looking for?"

Bader: (thoroughly confused, as he's not looking for _anything_) "I, uhm.." (brightly) "I help people in trouble!"

Priceless stuff.

"Danger Theater", a summer replacement show from Penelope Spheris. They should rerun it once in a while.

The "Cannibalism" commercial features Patrick Warburton ("Puddy" from Seinfeld, the live-action "Tick", at least one Cadillac ad, the evil crone's lackey in The Emperor's New Groove)

Diedrich Bader's segment on Danger Theater was called "The Searcher". As I recall, it was easily the funniest of the recurring bits...

Maybe because he was easily the dumbest? Looks around, an airplane falls on his head for no reason.
