I'm telling you, I hear this guy's voice in practically everything, and I can never figure out who this guy is and why he's literally in everything.

First, I hear this guy in everything Star Wars related.

Then lately I spotted him in this Mr. Peabody and Sherman commercial:

And today, I hear the voice in a brand-new Muppet TV spot!

He's in a lot more, but those are the most recent I could find. I'm telling you, this guy's voice is everywhere. Anyone have any idea who's narrating over here?

Probably whoever took over for Don Fontaine after he died.

I don't know for sure, but I think it's the same guy who voiced Mr. Herriman in Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends and Professor Utonium in The Powerpuff Girls, but I don't know what his name is.

Just started watching the Clone Wars TV series, and I've noticed, too.

It's most definitely Tom Kane.

And I believe that in Clone Wars, he's also Yoda.

Yup. After doing extensive research (Google-ing "Tom Kane"), I've come across his Wikipedia page. It's definetely him doing all those commercials, and I just remembered while reading the article that he did the voice over in the Monorail system at Disney World.
