Interview with Voice Actor and Robot Sidekick From The Late Late Show With Craig Ferguson, Josh Robert Thompson!

 



Born in Cleveland, Ohio, Josh Robert Thompson spent much of his childhood making silly voices into a Fisher-Price tape recorder.

Josh's gift for mimicry eventually brought him to Los Angeles and The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson, where he appeared in a number of sketches—most notably as Robert De Niro, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Ralf Hütter of Kraftwerk. Behind the camera, Josh provided the voices of an invisible house band, a talking rhino head named Sandra, celebrity insects, and every caller on Ferguson’s desk phone. But it was his role as Craig’s robot skeleton sidekick—Geoff Peterson—that proved to be Josh’s big break, creating one of TV’s most unlikely and endearing late night duos. 

For over a decade Josh’s wide range of voices and impressions have appeared on FOX’s Family Guy, as well as American Dad, Robot Chicken and Skylanders Academy, just to name a few.

In audiobooks, Josh has provided character voices and narration on over 30 projects—most notably author Michael Kaminski's The Secret History of Star Wars and a series of scripted podcasts for Audible.

On radio, Josh became a Howard Stern Show favorite as the voice of “Fake” Arnold Schwarzenegger—famously fooling everyone from George Takei to Fox News.

As a stand-up, Josh has toured all over the U.S. and Canada, playing such legendary venues as The Chicago Theater, Town Hall and Radio City. 

On screen, he starred in the romantic comedy Nowhere Girl, the indie supernatural thriller Revelator, and the award-winning comedic series F#ing 40.

Currently, Josh can be heard in the hit Netflix animated series Inside Job, the Kristen Wiig comedy Barb and Star Go to Vista Del Mar, and as “The Voice of God” on The Kelly Clarkson Show.

He is also the recipient of a Webby Award for his turn as George Lucas in Collider’s “deep fake” video series.
