Voice Actors
Jerry is primarily mute in most incarnations of Tom and Jerry. William Hanna provided the vocal effects for Jerry in most of the 1940-58 Tom and Jerry shorts. Once, he was voiced by Lillian Randolph who often voices Mammy Two Shoes, but in The Milky Waif Jerry and Nibbles disguising themselves as black people to fool Tom (see Censorship for information). Vocal effects in the 1961/2 Gene Deitch shorts were provided by Allen Swift. Sara Berner sings and speaks for Jerry in Anchors Aweigh, while Dana Hill voices Jerry in Tom and Jerry: The Movie.
