Jonathan Wilson on Atomic Betty, Ned’s Newt & Life as a Voice Actor

Actor and voice actor Jonathan Wilson joins The Quinn Marr Show to talk about falling in love with performing at a young age and carving out a career across both on-screen acting and voice work. Jonathan reflects on discovering performance early, developing his skills through improv, and becoming part of the iconic Second City comedy scene — an experience that helped shape his confidence, timing, and creative instincts. He shares how that background translated into voice acting, and the key differences between working behind the mic versus performing on camera. The conversation dives into Jonathan's early acting career, his transition into voice work on animated series like Atomic Betty, Ned's Newt, and Harry and His Bucket Full of Dinosaurs, and what it was like navigating the industry during the golden era of Canadian kids' television. Jonathan also opens up about working alongside the late Chris Farley, sharing stories from that experience and reflecting on the impact Farley had as both a performer and a person. He discusses the realities of balancing comedy, animation, and live-action roles, and how those moments helped shape his long-term approach to storytelling and performance.
