Artt Butler

Artt Butler started working in the voice-over industry in 1991 as the lead booth director of a talent agency, providing instruction and direction to voice actors during their recordings. In 2011, Butler responded to a casting call by Star Wars: The Clone Wars director Dave Filoni to portray the Mon Calamari Captain Ackbar on the series. While Butler auditioned for the role mimicking the voice of Ackbar from Star Wars: Episode VI Return of the Jedi (1983), most of the other actors seeking the part used their normal voices in auditions. Butler was cast and appeared in the first three episodes of the show's fourth season: "Water War," "Gungan Attack" and "Prisoners." In a review of "Water War", Eric Geller of TheForce.net said Butler's voice was a "great match" to that of Ackbar in Return of the Jedi.
