Movies with Patti Deutsch

Patti Deutsch was a versatile character actress whose wry wit and deadpan delivery made her a beloved presence on 1970s game shows and an in-demand voice actor in the decades that followed. While her standout turn as a recurring panelist on Match Game showcased her quick-witted improv skills, Deutsch's true talents shone in her extensive voice work, where she lent her distinctive voice to a wide range of animated characters. From the sarcastic coyote Kuzco's advisor Kronk in The Emperor's New Groove to the lovably dimwitted Donnie in The Wild Thornberrys, Deutsch brought an offbeat charm and idiosyncratic flair to every role. Whether voicing a fluffy furry creature or a tough-talking human, she consistently stole scenes with her impeccable comic timing and ability to find the humanity in even the most outlandish characters. Though she never attained the same level of fame as her more prominent voice actor peers, Deutsch's vast filmography and reliably hilarious work cemented her status as a treasured character actress and unsung icon of 1990s and 2000s animation.
