Rodger Bumpass (born November 20, 1951) is an American voice actor with credits in cartoons stretching back to The Jetsons. He was born in Jonesboro, Arkansas. Present-day viewers know him as the voice of Squidward Tentacles, Dr. Gill Gilliam and the anchovies on the Nickelodeon animated series SpongeBob SquarePants, The Chief from Where on Earth is Carmen Sandiego, Dr. Light on Teen Titans, Professor Membrane on Invader Zim. He has also appeared in adult cartoons, such as Heavy Metal. Bumpass has over 693 film credits, according to IMDb.
According to Matty Simmons' book, If You Don't Buy This Book We'll Kill This Dog - Life, Laughs, Love and Death at the National Lampoon, Bumpass was to star in a comedy called Jaws 3 - People 0, for National Lampoon. It would have followed Animal House, and starred Bumpass with Bo Derek, who had just made her movie 10. Universal Studios canceled the deal before shooting.
During August 2006, rumors were circulated that Bumpass died during heart surgery. His death was noted on IMDb and in the Arkansas State University alumni newsletter. Bumpass confirmed that reports of his death were untrue.
Bumpass is married to actor Amy Stiller, sister of actor/writer/director Ben Stiller. Bumpass rides a recumbent bicycle; as an in-joke by the producers of the SpongeBob SquarePants Movie, Squidward does too.
