Easily the biggest name involved with Home Movies was H. Jon Benjamin.  Starting his career in stand-up comedy groups along the likes of Sam Seder and David Cross, Benjamin soon made the jump to animated television.  With a starring role in Dr. Katz, the transition to Home Movies was a natural move for the comedian.  His voice talents are so popular today Benjamin enjoys fame as Bob of Bob’s Burgers, and has had cameo appearances in everything from Family Guy to PBS’ Wordgirl.

H. Jon Benjamin was the voice of two main characters in Home Movies including 8-year-old Jason Penopolis, and the ever-popular, yet highly incompetent soccer coach, John McGuirk.  A natural charisma with Brendon Small, the series is littered with hilarious moments of extended dialogue between the actor’s characters.  The open format of Home Movies writing also gave Benjamin a wide-open opportunity to showcase his impromptu humour, making Home Movies some of his best work.
