Candi Milo’s voice has been everywhere, even if you didn’t know it. She’s the one behind so many cartoon characters you probably grew up with—or maybe your kids did, depending on your age. Dr. Nora Wakeman from My Life as a Teenage Robot? That’s her, giving life to a robotic genius-mom. Then there’s Snap from ChalkZone, that wild little blue guy with boundless energy and a knack for getting into (and out of) trouble in a world made of chalk drawings. And Nick Dean from Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius, the cool kid with the slick hair and effortless attitude—yep, Candi again. Maybe you’re more into the classics? She’s Granny in Looney Tunes, that sweet old lady who somehow manages to wrangle Tweety and keep Sylvester in check. Oh, and don’t forget Dexter from Dexter’s Laboratory. That’s right, the tiny boy-genius with the impossible accent? All her. She’s also Cheese and Coco from Foster’s Home for Imaginary Friends—two characters who could not be more different, but both equally hilarious and, let’s be real, completely unhinged. Honestly, she’s like a chameleon. You hear her voice everywhere but probably never realized it was the same person. From video games to Saturday morning cartoons, Candi Milo’s fingerprints are all over your favorite animated worlds. The range is ridiculous—from sweet to sassy to just plain weird, she nails them all. If you hear a voice that sounds a little familiar but you can’t quite place it, there’s a decent shot it’s her.
After Christine Cavanaugh decided to step away from the spotlight, someone had to fill some pretty massive shoes as the voice of Dexter in Dexter’s Laboratory. Enter Candi Milo, who swooped in and totally nailed the role. Fans were a bit skeptical at first—come on, that's Dexter we’re talking about—but Milo brought her own flavor to the boy genius. She kept all that quirky energy and over-the-top genius vibe that made Dexter’s character so fun. Honestly, most people hardly noticed the switch after a couple of episodes. The show just kept rolling with its wild inventions, Dee Dee’s chaos, and Dexter’s endless exasperation. Milo stuck around until the end, basically becoming the voice fans hear in their heads whenever someone mentions Dexter. So yeah, even though Cavanaugh was the original, Milo made sure the Laboratory stayed as weird and hilarious as ever. No small feat, considering how iconic that little scientist was.
