I was so Shocked when I found out that this guy played Pepper in Modern Family was Timon in the Lion King. And he didn't have to do a voice, this is his actual voice!!!
Hearing this man brings back happy childhood memories. Eating a bowl of cereal in front of the TV on a Saturday morning, I hadn't a care in the world (apart from the typical playground conflicts), and TLK was my all time favorite movie. God, I miss the 90's!
I love how he and Matthew Broderick are in Lion King and The Producers. It just...every time I see either one of those movies, it reminds me of the other, haha.
I just love this guy! Timon is one of my fave characters, and I just love him! :D I'm glad Timon and Pumbaa were in the film; it needed that comic relief.
As the voice of that tiny, little known animal, he really stole the show. Nathan Lane is an incredible talent alright. The screenplay I am tweaking started out as a comedy, but really grew into a serious drama. While I know of Nathan mainly from humorous roles, I could totally see him as the hard boiled father (who I really envisioned as Detective Munch, from Law and Order.)
AWWWW Nathan Lane you are truly a handsome funny guy. I love Nathan Lane so much. He was so good in The Producers as Max Baialystock. I love you Nathan Darling. Keep being funny and never stop broadway.
i feel like it's always underappreciated how much Timon and Pumbaa mean to the Lion King. here you are, and emotionally wrecked child: you saw Simba's life in danger, his dad dies after having a heart to heart a few scenes ago, Simba cries in agony, he cries for help, he cries in despair. now you're just as done, and dried up from all the spent tears, as he is lying there about to die himself and in come the cavalry of comic relief to pick you right back up
OMG!!! To think Nathan Lane was gunna be the hyenas! O_o Disney made the RIGHT choice in making Nathan Timon! One of the most memorable character's on DISNEY HISTORY!! PERIOD.
@@rileyjones3703 In the interview with Nathan Lane and Matthew Broderick for one of the newer DVD versions, Nathan confirmed he only auditioned for the hyenas, not Zazu. That was very interesting watching them look back on the Lion King. :) You can find it here on TH-cam - extended interview with Nathan and Matthew.
The fun fact is that Timon and Pumbaa are voiced by two flemish actors in the dutch version of the film! They were the two only characters voiced by Belgian actors, who could continue doing the job thanks to the popularity of the characters!
“All the animators wanted to work on Pocahontas.. apparently.” aged like the finest wine 😅 Surely both films are golden, but.. c’mon. The Lion King just checks every box.
Lie down before you hurt yourself. What do you want me to do? Dress in drag and do the hula? ROFL! Timon is one of my favorite characters when I was a kid. He poked me in the chest during The Lion King parade @ Disneyland.
@jvfunn3000 June 1995, my dad gave me the vhs for my 6th birthday (still have it, still watch it). your're right, great childhood memories. being a 90s kid was SWEET.
thats the darkest they've been since bambi.... goes back and watches bambi again dang i remembered bambi as a cute movie.... then again i probably fastforwarded through the bad bits.....
@creaturelover I dont think it just destoyed pochantas b/c both are considered classic and very well known. I like both features myself and feel very proud to have grown up w/them.
LOL. I love Nathan Lane so much. He is my love forever and ever. I loved him as Max BialyStock fro the Producers and I love Nathan in MouseHunt. I love his singing to. You are the bestest actor in the world Nathan Lane. I love you so much honey. Your The Wind Beaneath My Wings.
Actually no, from what I recall, there ARE a few episodes of Timon and Pumbaa where Nathan Lane does voice Timon, very early episodes though. :) But yeah, gotta remember the guy is normally a lead broadway actor, and he most likely has other obligations that come first.
@naly202 Thats a matter of opinion I suppose. Both Are really great and have good morals and storytelling to them. it was just sad that people were taking one more seriously than the other at that time.
I love Nathan Lane!!! He's such an AMAZING performer full of spunk and attitude!! ❤️❤️❤️🎉
I was so Shocked when I found out that this guy played Pepper in Modern Family was Timon in the Lion King. And he didn't have to do a voice, this is his actual voice!!!
+Tierney Phillips he was meant for TIMON!!!
Hearing this man brings back happy childhood memories. Eating a bowl of cereal in front of the TV on a Saturday morning, I hadn't a care in the world (apart from the typical playground conflicts), and TLK was my all time favorite movie. God, I miss the 90's!
This guy is great. I think he deserves an Oscar.
I agree!
He’s never got one ?
The first time I recognized who this guy was , was when i watched mouse hunt
I love how he and Matthew Broderick are in Lion King and The Producers. It just...every time I see either one of those movies, it reminds me of the other, haha.
And Ernie Sabella's in a deleted scene
He is amazing in The Birdcage. He and Robin Williams worked so well together in that
I love him so much! When I hear him talk, I hear Timon!!!
thank u for giving us Timon
Nathan was with Lion King from the beginning.
Why doesn't billy crystal voice timon in lion guard or lion king 4
Because Billy Crystal Is Too Busy Voicing Mike Wasowski In Monsters Movies And Series As Well.
Am i the only one who would love to see their audition film?
Nathan lane is the perfect for the voice of timon :)
Wow that scar impression was perfect!!! Haha I like how he says that Disney has never done something that dark since Bambi lolol!!
Nathan Lane is versatile. He is now starring on the Showtime series Penny Dreadful: City of Angels as a detective. Great dramatic acting.
Now, he’s in Only Murders In The Building 😃
I just love this guy! Timon is one of my fave characters, and I just love him! :D I'm glad Timon and Pumbaa were in the film; it needed that comic relief.
The funny thing is when he talks about Ernie I think about him in mousehunt because he plays a character named Ernie in that movie.
+dolphinsatsunset1 random fact the man who plays morty, the one who sells them catzilla actually voiced pumba! in case you didn't know
A very talented guy especially in the movie Birdcage. Loved that film.
As the voice of that tiny, little known animal, he really stole the show. Nathan Lane is an incredible talent alright.

It's so funny that everyone wanted to work on pocahontas while lion king was far better and more successful.
He was great voicing timon in the lion king.
AWWWW Nathan Lane you are truly a handsome funny guy. I love Nathan Lane so much. He was so good in The Producers as Max Baialystock. I love you Nathan Darling. Keep being funny and never stop broadway.
Mufasa's death still makes me cry.
He is great! The Lion King is my favourite movie of all time!!!
Nathan Lane is awesome!! He was a huge part of The Lion King!!!
it's nice to see him being himself :) i've never actually seen a behind-the-scenes thing with Nathan Lane... :)
i feel like it's always underappreciated how much Timon and Pumbaa mean to the Lion King.
here you are, and emotionally wrecked child: you saw Simba's life in danger, his dad dies after having a heart to heart a few scenes ago, Simba cries in agony, he cries for help, he cries in despair. now you're just as done, and dried up from all the spent tears, as he is lying there about to die himself

You know Nathan Lane won 2 Emmy Awards for Outstanding Performer In An Animated Program for his work on Timon & Pumbaa and Teacher's Pet.
This kind guy kind of reminds of the voice actor who voiced king Julien a little?
*arrrrree ya achin'!
yup yup yup!
fooooorr some bacon'!
yup yup yup!*
This is one of the few actors who talk exactly like the characters they voice
when i hear his voice i hear timon!
i recognised his voice from modern family
Yep. He definitely hammed it up and added some nasally gruff tone to timon but essentially Timon has his voice
I remember him as Snowbell from the Stuart Little series. He got replaced somehow later on. He is the only Snowbell
Nathan lane is brilliant
OMG!!! To think Nathan Lane was gunna be the hyenas! O_o
Disney made the RIGHT choice in making Nathan Timon! One of the most memorable character's on DISNEY HISTORY!! PERIOD.
He originally auditioned for Zazu before that too I read.

That was very interesting watching them look back on the Lion King. :) You can find it here on TH-cam - extended interview with Nathan and Matthew.
2:20 That Jeremy Irons impression though 🤣🤣🤣
I just almost cryed over the film just now.
He speaks Timon's language,because he's the voice actor behind Timon. I downloaded his photo to my "Voice actors" folder from the computer.
It's so weird hearing Timone's voice xD
The fun fact is that Timon and Pumbaa are voiced by two flemish actors in the dutch version of the film! They were the two only characters voiced by Belgian actors, who could continue doing the job thanks to the popularity of the characters!
EVERTHING! this guy has been in has been just simply marvellous!❤️
“All the animators wanted to work on Pocahontas.. apparently.” aged like the finest wine 😅 Surely both films are golden, but.. c’mon. The Lion King just checks every box.
Also, he did the amazing white cat called Snowbell.
I love Mouse hunt. Favorite childhood movie ever
Lie down before you hurt yourself. What do you want me to do? Dress in drag and do the hula? ROFL! Timon is one of my favorite characters when I was a kid. He poked me in the chest during The Lion King parade @ Disneyland.
he was great as timon, just like Irons was great as Scar and Atkinson was great as Zazu. Those 3 stole the show !
" Finally, a game system for me! " - Nathan Lane/Jontron
His voice sounds the same!
Nathan playing Timon sounds so much like Max Casella playing Daxter!! so cool!
Like him on The Lion King, The Producers, The Birdcage, Addams Family Values and Mouse Hunt
he even sounds like timon in real life.
Love, love, love this beautiful man🥰
GRANDE. ATOR ! EU. AMO. .SIMPLISMENTE. MARAVILHOSO !!
He also voiced B. F. Skinny in JumpStart 5th Grade: Jo Hammet, Kid Detective as well.
He's adorable!❣
his voice is perfect as a narrator :DD
I woulda liked it if Nathan Lane would reprise his role as Timon in the 2019 live action Lion King. But instead Disney got Billy Eichner
Nathan Lane Voice Of Timon from Disney's The Lion King Trilogy
I LOVE NATHAN LANE!!!
Lane sounds like his other character Preed from "Titan A.E." when he impersonates Jeremy Irons at 2:20.
Hey! What' going on here?
Who read this in Timon's voice?
I adore Nathan Lane, he is absolutely adorable. Wondering if he's staring in the new live action movie?
Billy Eichner is taking the role
Valentina Merlini FUCK
When was this interview recorded???
I think I saw him on Muppets Letters to Santa and I was like: Call me crazy but Timon is in a Muppet Movie???
@mermaidamp: I don't know. I just love those witty sarcastic characters. They make me laugh and his voice is just perfect.
incredible. He's got the same voice like ilja richter in the german lion king version.:)
@jvfunn3000
June 1995, my dad gave me the vhs for my 6th birthday (still have it, still watch it). your're right, great childhood memories. being a 90s kid was SWEET.
Hakuna Matata!!!
thats the darkest they've been since bambi....
goes back and watches bambi again
dang i remembered bambi as a cute movie.... then again i probably fastforwarded through the bad bits.....
It's wierd, I thought Timone was Billy Crystal for years. They sound so much alike when doing voice-overs.
nathan lane also played on mouse hunt :D another great movie lol
he's brilliant! ^^
He’s ADORABLE! Love everything he does - I could just sit and listen to him read me a recipe 😂
I guess Timon and Pumbaa were Rosencrantz and Guildenstern if a Shakespearean theme of Hamlet could be superimposed on The Lion King.
. .whooaaa!!!this is really timon. .
who the fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck would dislike this!
@creaturelover I dont think it just destoyed pochantas b/c both are considered classic and very well known. I like both features myself and feel very proud to have grown up w/them.
LOL. I love Nathan Lane so much. He is my love forever and ever. I loved him as Max BialyStock fro the Producers and I love Nathan in MouseHunt. I love his singing to. You are the bestest actor in the world Nathan Lane. I love you so much honey. Your The Wind Beaneath My Wings.
omg~ and to think that i wouldnt recognise his character cuz i didnt know who he was!!!
lol love this guy in (mouse hunt) that film is always soo funny
Lion King is the best disney movie HANDS DOWN.
in 2003 i was looking at lion king with my friends until my friend said Nathan Lane is gay i was so shock when they told me that
Yeah, I literally cannot see that. I mean, I believe it, but I can't see it, lol.
@VerseJer333
why use quotes ? are you implying it Does make sense ?
Come to think of it, Lion KIng would actually be quite dark and depressing without Timon and Pumbaa...
wow. this is TIMON. i recognised him after the first word he said !
lion king is a great movie, much better than pocahontas imao.
@Andrea Patane He is also the voice of Preed from Titan A.E.
Played a great Rosencrantz. Or was it Guildenstern?
Nathan Lane is a genius! XD
I'm here,because I do voices pretty well. I want to be a voice actress if I wasn't hired by the school districts as a para AKA TA.
That impersonation of Jeremy Irons as Scar was a little too awesome.
Right!!!??
He only did Timon in the Actual Films. What's his problems with doing Roles in TV Shows and Games? Sabella voiced Pumbaa in everything.
Kevin schon voices timon in the lion guard
He had other commitments in the Timon and Pumbaa show Kevin Schon and Quinton Flynn took over for a Timon when Nathan went to film Birdcage
Actually no, from what I recall, there ARE a few episodes of Timon and Pumbaa where Nathan Lane does voice Timon, very early episodes though. :) But yeah, gotta remember the guy is normally a lead broadway actor, and he most likely has other obligations that come first.
LOL he ALWAYS sounds like timon
Nathan lane voicing Timon is kind of like Danny Jacobs voicing king Julien a little?
He was actually good in The Birdcage.
Pepper Saltzman!
SNOWBALL AND TIMON! (Stuart Little and The Lion King)
They both got the same director: Rob Minkoff!
IM HERE BECAUSE GAME GRUMPS and cus Jontron sounds like this guy XD
Nathan lane won an emmy award for his role timon back in 1996?
timon!!
Hey I didn't know JonTron was in The Lion King
I pierced the toast!
no time for advertisements. skipping to another video.
@naly202 Thats a matter of opinion I suppose. Both Are really great and have good morals and storytelling to them. it was just sad that people were taking one more seriously than the other at that time.
and lion king destroyed pocahontas :P
No offense. Pocahontas was a great Disney film in its own right, but in my personal opinion The Lion King was way better. Just saying.
