In the TV sitcom, Benny is a 15-year-old teenager (even he is in love with a young girl named Destiny), despite in the original series where he is 9 years old. In the film, his arms are slightly shorter and smaller, his voice, by Chris Edgerly, is a little bit clearer, and he is slightly more clumsy. In the movie, he sometimes gets Top Cat and his gang in trouble, and his fandom of fictional musician Lazlo-Lazlo serves to introduce that character. He was voiced by John Stephenson in Yogi's Ark Lark, Avery Schreiber in Top Cat and the Beverly Hills Cats, Maurice LaMarche in Harvey Birdman: Attorney at Law, and he is currently voiced by Will Forte since TCCOVIDINNY. Benny the Ball is modeled after his voice actor Maurice Gosfield in the TV series. He also made a cameo appearance on Kid vs. A number of episodes have focused on Benny, including "The Violin Player", "The Unscratchables" and "The Missing Heir". Benny may appear to be simple-minded, due to the fact that he always gives the game away, but he manages to ask the most logical questions during the gang's erratic endeavors. His eyes are shown as black dots unlike the other cats who have white sclerae with black pupils. He is short, innocent, chubby, and naïve. He is framed by Lou Strickland, who uses a robot look-alike to get him arrested, whereupon he is placed in a dog jail.Īccording to History, He is the first anti-hero on TV History.īenny, a blue-coloured cat with a white sports jacket that fastens with a single button at his neck, is T.C.'s right-hand man they share a close friendship.
