Candi Milo

Candyce Anne Rose Milo has one of the largest credit lists in American animation, over a hundred entries deep and running from the early 1990s to the present. Born in Palm Springs in 1961, she is someone anyone who watched cartoons in the last thirty years has heard repeatedly without knowing it, which is the definition of the job done well.

The range is the whole story. She voices boys and old women in the same working week and is convincing as both. Dexter in Dexter's Laboratory is the strident, adenoidal boy genius. Grim's Mom in The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy is a completely different instrument. In Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius she plays Nick Dean, Britney and PJ in one film, which is the ordinary reality of voice casting and also a decent stress test. Add Tiny Toon Adventures, Cow and Chicken, ChalkZone, Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends, My Life as a Teenage Robot, Mucha Lucha, Codename: Kids Next Door, El Tigre, SWAT Kats, Loonatics Unleashed, The Powerpuff Girls, Pinky and the Brain, Rugrats and The Replacements, and the shape of a career built entirely inside television animation becomes clear.

Since 2017 she has held two of the most storied voices in the business, Granny and Witch Hazel in the Looney Tunes, plus Petunia Pig. Inheriting characters that old is a strange assignment, since the audience is comparing you to a recording from before you were born, and she does it without sounding like an impersonation. That work runs through Space Jam: A New Legacy, the recent Looney Tunes shorts and The Day the Earth Blew Up. Her film credits also include Cool World (1992), The Ant Bully and Persephone in Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox.
