Probably because the personalities are on the opposite ends of the spectrum. Zim is super intelligent and megalomaniacal and Billy is so stupid and goofy
Wow! Since Helluva Boss, you can hear his real voice being used for Moxxie. I thought his voice would be strained for each character he plays. I'm happy they also have him sing with his real voice. I'm amazed.
My mother knew someone who had grown up with Richard and was able to put me in contact with him. (I think I was about 11, circa 2001) Not only was I able to talk to him about how he became interested in doing voice work, but he sent me a signed Invader Zim poster! It said "To Erik, one of my favorite Human stink-beasts. OBEY THE FIST! -Richard Horvitz "I AM ZIM!!!" I *still* have that poster, framed, hanging next to my signed InuYasha poster.. oh to be 14 again.
I KNEW FREAKING KNEW IT zim's voice always sounded like billy to me when I 1st heard it now I know that they are the same voice actor. I can finally Rest In Peace 😌
Though his anime vo record, not great cause he does addition voices on other animes, and for one anime, a character for like half a series total before being replaced
I like how each voice sounds kind of fundamentally the same but there’s an inflection and emotion he adds to each one that sets it apart from the others.
I don't hear a lot of Zim in his natural voice, but I immediately hear Raz from Psychonauts in his voice. First thing I ever heard him in though was _Destroy All Humans!_ where he was Orthopox 13 and he sounded a lot like a haggard, pompous, grumpy, demanding, older Zim. Loved that game how he's just barking at you the whole way through.
Said this before but would love to see Tom Kenny and Rob Paulsen on here. Maybe even Jennifer Hale, Dee Bradley Baker and Hynden Walch. Sorry, I'd like to see a lot of people do this. Just a few suggestions.
Hey Alex! We LOVE suggestions! We'll add them to the list!! We've already got a few other in line ... so we'll try to get these others soon! KEEP WATCHING!
The best thing about Richard is he has an older brother who works as a director for awards ceremonies and other specials. His name: Louis J. Horvitz. Show business runs in the family.
Everyone saying his normal voice sounds like zim is because the casted people with cartoony normal voices to play characters in Invader Zim but he just add emphasis when in character
oomfgg the voice of Dagget. holy fook. I looovee that voice. that's amazing. This guys did so many voices of my childhood cartoons! though I also thought he did the voice for "Disney's Donald Duck PK: into the shadows" since that voice kinda matches it too.
The main two I think of when I here your/his voice somewhere...I always think of Zim(I've watched the show) and Raz(I've played and beaten Pychonaughts(1st game)...I can't wait for Pychonaughts 2)...I'm a fan of both...and some of the others you've/he's voiced too.😎
I love you!!!! You made my childhood! Angry beavers,zim,billy and Mandy. And I’m so glad you play zim,I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t as love it as much if it was someone else
See our newest video of Richard talking about his reaction to being recognized in public by fans: bit.ly/TVEXTRAS_RH
Anytime he raises his voice even a little he turns to zim
Thanks for watching!
Yes
Yeah
Much yes
YEAH, RIGHTTTT
Plot-twist: that is actually Zim disguised as Richard Horvitz
Hahaha! Nice! Thanks for watching!
His disguise has gotten better!
Yes!!
INGENIOUS!
Or Moxxie figured out how to get a human disguise
I always hear a little bit of zim in every voice
The Mario and sonic Gamer bros Yeah, especially Kaos
I love hentai and I need it to live your name kills meh 😂
I hear razputin
To me was Billy
Cause Zim was his most iconic character
You know a character has an iconic voice when a simple "Eh?!" can make you think "oh my god that's Zim"
Fact
Joestar
for me its kaos because i grew up with skylanders
In my case it was Kaos.
True, true.
This guy voiced my childhood.
Invader Zim??
I'm just saying cuz that was mine lol
same
Skylander for me
TayoEXE Mine too.
TayoEXE same
how tf did I not hear that Zim and Billy sounded so similar omg
Because he is so good.
I know, I seen the thumbnail with billy and zim and my brain exploded and put 2 and 2 together. Surprised and confused lol
Probably because the personalities are on the opposite ends of the spectrum. Zim is super intelligent and megalomaniacal and Billy is so stupid and goofy
@@gregorywiederecht That's exactly it lol I couldn't imagine Zim saying half the stupid shit Billy did even though Zim had his dumbass moments hahaha
I heard Zim more in Kaos...
wow, his normal speaking voice sounds alot like Zim!
Thats what i was thinking
Trevor Dupp jhonen did that intentionally. He wanted the voices to be natural instead of 'acting' as he put it
but when he screams as ZiM he chugs like 6 water bottles
Trevor D ikr???
Trevor D yeah, I'm reading a lot of that. Which is weird, because if I tried to do Zim's voice, it would kill me.
Yes, he sounds a lot like Zim. Jhonen hired him just because he sounds like that. It's a speaking voice, not an 'acting' voice.
His real voice sounds like Zim just older 😂
Yes
True.
but zim is older then any human..
Socknetea - give it another couple hundred years for Zim, THEN he’ll sound like Richard
He sounds like Zim if he smoked.
I never realized how often ZIM say "huh" until watching this
And what!
Eh?
eh???
EH?!
EHH?
Invader zim = life
Heck yes!!!
Carora yes
Right you are my friend, right you are
Agreed.
yeeet
He seems like such a nice dude
He is a very nice dude 👍🏻
@Zubi Gaming He does indeed curse in Helluva Boss.
Wow! Since Helluva Boss, you can hear his real voice being used for Moxxie. I thought his voice would be strained for each character he plays. I'm happy they also have him sing with his real voice. I'm amazed.
I love hb

blessed
*you are the luckiest person alive I swear-*
I have a book signed by the voice of Jack skellington
*I'm not crying, you're crying!*
Bruh, I wanna be friends with Richard Horvitz or any of the Invader Zim cast 😍😍😍
Holy shit, that's his actual voice!
omg now i got zims “eHh?” stuck in my head 😂😂😂😂
As a Psychonaut myself, it’s hard to imagine this talented, grown (and bearded) man as the voice of Raz!
Whos watching after the new invader zim movie came out?
I actually just didn't look at my phone for the video and just imagined Zim being interviewed
I watched just to see the man who made my childhood
Me
I KNEW FREAKING KNEW IT zim's voice always sounded like billy to me when I 1st heard it
now I know that they are the same voice actor.
I can finally Rest In Peace 😌
GhostGirl 23 me too
Really? I thought it was obvious
If you ever look at the end credits for both shows you would have known that he voiced both characters
He did an amazing job and sounds the same after all these years. Invader Zim: Enter the Florpus
This guy voiced the greatest under appreciated shows of this century
You're legend,
Thank You
Though his anime vo record, not great cause he does addition voices on other animes, and for one anime, a character for like half a series total before being replaced
Raz and Zim are his best performances imo ❤
I wish he did more..
I like Richard Steven Horvitz
He's voice acting Moxxie from Hellava Boss created by VivziePop now.
Wish granted,he voices an imp in hell now
He says the fuck word in a pilot episode
@@milkfgc2 "the fuck word"
0:29
We all needed that. Even if we didn't know, we *needed* it.
"the voice is the work of the spirit"
i absolutely love that!! awesome work, awesome guest!
RIGHT!!!??? Loved that!
I love Richard Horvitz!! He IS Zim!! They couldn’t have cast a more perfect actor to play Zim!!!
This is his actual voice? Brilliant!! IT EVEN FOOLED MEEEE
I like how each voice sounds kind of fundamentally the same but there’s an inflection and emotion he adds to each one that sets it apart from the others.
Sounds like he’s voice hurts so much plz get this man some warm tea 🍵
Had the pleasure of meeting him several years ago. What a wonderful human.
His voice is like a fine gold being grated on sandpaper.
And I love every second of it.
my fav voices must be Razputin and Zim
I didn’t realize Richard voiced in more cartoons I watched as a kid
He’s been doing a great job as Moxxie as well!
When I first played sky landers, I recognized the voice immediately😂 from invader zim😂
I saw the advertisements. I thought "isn't that Zim?!"
My brother was watching it, and I screamed "holy crap that's Zim, pause this right now-"
Abby S I was the reverse cuz I played skylanders before watching Zim
@@mclife5830 same
@@mclife5830 yo same!
I notice he seems to have a thing for alien characters. Might just be a coinky dink.
He's a Furon
I bet ever since invader zim others wanted to hire him to voice aliens since zim is a really iconic alien.
coincidence? maybe not..... 🤔
That ONE antoid mhm!
Almost like his voice sounds perfect for an alien/cartoon character
God I LOVE THIS MAN!!!! Psychonauts was my childhood!!!
I love this guy. He's real funny
Damn, this dude was literally born a voice actor. His natural voice sounds like an older Billy or Zim
Wow unique voice for sure
Don't lie, I know y'all came here because of invader zim
Destroy All Humans!
Nah came from Skylanders my man
Don't ever assume my intentions. I came for Daggett.
Yup. WE WANT TO IMPRESS THE ALMIGHTY TALLEST!!!
@@OniLordMiki Frick you man. You bein mean.
I have to say, Richard's got a really youthful-sounding voice. He sounds like a little kid, which is perfect considering the characters he voices.
I grew up playing skylanders so this man is in my memories permanently.
Same here
Same.
I thought I recognized Kaos and Zim as having similar voices, this makes me really happy as both of them are parts of my childhood :D
He's like Robin Williams, but with a funnier voice.
and alive
Genie
Yep...RIP Robin😔...he was a good actor on screen and in cartoons.(My favorite character he voiced was Genie from the original Aladdin movie/show)😎
SnowyUmby Yikes!💀
Robin Williams with jack black mix
His voice is so unique. Very rare
One of the many GREAT voices of my childhood!!!!
Yes his voice is basically like a nostalgia button!
@@VeriteVoiceoverNed frischman 👨 of tomorrow
He is a legendary voice actor 🎉
EHH?!?!
I don't hear a lot of Zim in his natural voice, but I immediately hear Raz from Psychonauts in his voice.

I got to meet him last Saturday at a con! So crazy, I didn’t expect his natural talking voice to be that similar to his Zim voice!
This man is a national treasure that must be protected at all cost.
Agree
And now he's in helluva boss, a vivziepop cartoon of all things. And I can't wait.
No one
Nobody at all
Vivzie: Wanna voice act?
Richard has evolved into MOXXIE
Devolved*
helluva boss is awesome and Richard does an awesome job as moxxie.

Took a voice acting class taught by this guy. Really nice, smart guy.
Spunky Animations lucky!
He has such a unique and distinct voice, you always know when it's him, and it's always great to hear him
0:42 i´m so happy Raz doesn´t look like this in the game and they stayed with the cartoon style. this is so freaking terrifying fr
I knew I recognized Zim's voice from Destroy all Humans
This man looks like Jack Black and him could be brothers
Well Richard and Jack both were part of Psychonauts 2
i was watching invader zim and his voice sound like.... POX FROM DESTROY ALL HUMANS NICE I LOVE THAT GAME
Michael K zhzh
POX=Elder Zim
My favorite roles of his were Zim from Invader Zim and Kaos from the Skylanders series.
I met him recently and I absolutely love him! Richard Horvitz is the absolute best!
Psychonauts 2 coming out soon. Hell yeah!
Im so excited!
I'm super hyped for it!! It looks really good, hopefully the control styles similar to the first
My favorite voice actor
And now Moxxie of Helluva Boss 2019-
They really got this LEGEND on Helluva Boss I'm cryingggggg
Y’all out here talking about Zim
I’m just like-
KAAAAAOOOOOOOS
You are a man of culture sir
Skylanders was my childhood
Same
Everyone saying his normal voice sounds like zim is because the casted people with cartoony normal voices to play characters in Invader Zim but he just add emphasis when in character
Wow. He voiced a lot of my childhood.
If he think he voiced a lot of your childhood, check out Candi Milo's video...OMG and so many more of the guests!
Verité Entertainment will do!
This man is the Grandmaster of Voice Acting.
It never occured to me until now this is the voice of Moxxie
nice
This man is a treasure.
Richard Is One Of My Best Voice Actors
He’s on Kim possible
I love his work ! his voices are always adorable !
He’s definitely my favorite voice actor !
oomfgg the voice of Dagget. holy fook. I looovee that voice. that's amazing. This guys did so many voices of my childhood cartoons! though I also thought he did the voice for "Disney's Donald Duck PK: into the shadows" since that voice kinda matches it too.
Never change that heavenly voice, Rich. Never change that voice.
I didn't even realize until just last year that all these different characters from my childhood were voiced by the same people.
Thank you very much for my childhood. I just dropped a tear, Deg, Raz...
He also did various voices on Loud House, such as Leni's love interest Chaz, and Rusty's dad.
My favorite voice actor. Ive loved every character he has played!
OH MY GOD. IT’S KAOOOOSSSS. This guy voiced my favorite video game villain from my childhood.
God I love that man. The voice of my childhood. Definitely my favorite voice actor.
When your voice never breaks beyond puberty or just actually broke at some point, then use it to became the best voice actor EVERY!
Hello there, Skylosers! It's HIM... KAOS!!! Your voice is so iconic and amazing, Mr. Horvitz! You rock!
He’s Moxxie in Helluvaboss!
I thought zim was a voice. That IS his voice. How neat.
Everyone remembers him as Zim or Billy. I’m sat here with fond memories of defeating Kaos
That was the first time I ever heard his voice too, and by golly that's what got me really into voice acting I think haha
best person to ever live! I love you Richard!

I actually love that in his regular voice I can still hear a tone down Zim banded Dagget. I bet his throat was always killing him after recordings
I love this guy already.
This man is my childhood...
He does great with the voices from every show and game
I grinned when I found out that one of the soldiers in mgs4, I shot the soldier with a laughing dart and heard Zim's laugh.
Richard Horvitz and Grey Delisle are the greatest voice actors of all time.
I just can't get enough of invader zim, one of my faves as a child but it got cancelled and I cri
Did you watch Enter The Florpus?
