Bill Farmer (born November 14, 1952) is an American voice actor. He has performed the voice of the Disney character Goofy since 1987, and has also been the voice of Pluto and Horace Horsecollar since 1990.
Early life
Farmer was born on November 14, 1952, in Pratt, Kansas, the second child in his family.{{cite web|title=Disney Legends - Bill Farmer |url=https://d23.com/walt-disney-legend/bill-farmer/ |publisher=D23 |access-date=August 30, 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150830093555/https://d23.com/walt-disney-legend/bill-farmer/ |archive-date=August 30, 2015 |url-status=dead }} His parents were of English and Welsh descent.
Farmer began doing voices at the age of 10, involved doing impressions, especially those of Western stars like John Wayne or Walter Brennan. He and his friends would sometimes go through fast food drive-thrus and order foods in his character voices.{{cite news |last1=McTavish |first1=Brian |title=Bill Farmer is 'Goofy' for fun and profit |url=https://www.baltimoresun.com/news/bs-xpm-1995-05-04-1995124177-story.html |access-date=August 24, 2019 |work=The Baltimore Sun |date=May 4, 1995 |archive-date=August 24, 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190824050745/https://www.baltimoresun.com/news/bs-xpm-1995-05-04-1995124177-story.html |url-status=live }} Farmer graduated from the University of Kansas in 1975, where he became a member of the Sigma Chi Fraternity. In university, he found work in radio and TV and then moved on to stand-up comedy as an impressionist. In 1982, while he was still doing stand-up comedy, Farmer worked at a comedy club called the Comedy Corner in Dallas, Texas. He continued to work there until his move to Hollywood in 1986.
His decision to move to California came from a Dallas commercial agent who suggested that, given his talent for voices, he should try his luck in California.{{cite news |last1=Armstrong |first1=John |title=It's Goofy, but it's a job |url=https://www.newspapers.com/clip/35290297/the_vancouver_sun/ |access-date=August 26, 2019 |work=Vancouver Sun |date=September 7, 1995 |page=C3 |via=Newspapers.com |archive-date=August 26, 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190826082655/https://www.newspapers.com/clip/35290297/the_vancouver_sun/ |url-status=live }} {{free access}} He was recently married, but he and his wife talked it over and came to an arrangement. She stayed back in Dallas while he commuted for a year after he got an apartment. Then four months after his moving out to Hollywood, his agent asked him if he could do any Disney characters.
Farmer asserts that voice acting is not about funny voices, but about acting. His mentor was the versatile voice actor Daws Butler, the man behind many of Hanna-Barbera's characters. He taught Farmer that when doing cartoon voices, a person is not merely doing a funny voice, but they are an actor and the acting is premier and that one has to think like the character one is performing.{{cite web|url=http://techjives.net/2012/05/25/042-bill-farmer-on-talkin-toons-with-rob-paulsen-weekly-voice-acting-and-voice-over-tips/|title=042 – Bill Farmer on Talkin Toons with Rob Paulsen – Weekly Voice Acting and Voice Over Tips - Tech Jives Network|access-date=February 2, 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150202215706/http://techjives.net/2012/05/25/042-bill-farmer-on-talkin-toons-with-rob-paulsen-weekly-voice-acting-and-voice-over-tips/|archive-date=February 2, 2015|url-status=dead}}
Career
Upon moving to Hollywood in 1986, he got a call for an open audition for the Disney character Goofy. When he auditioned for the role, he studied the way the original actor Pinto Colvig performed as Goofy in the classic cartoons. He studied the hilarious laugh and the distinctive "gawrsh". After auditioning for the role, he inherited the voice of Goofy in January 1987 (and also Pluto in 1990).{{cite web|title=About Toonhouse|url=http://www.toonhouseinc.com/about|publisher=Toonhouse Inc.|access-date=August 30, 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120423195851/http://www.toonhouseinc.com/about|archive-date=April 23, 2012}}
