Patricia Anne Musick is an American voice actress who has provided numerous voices in many television shows, films, and video games.

Career[edit]

Musick’s first role was in the 1981 film The Loch Ness Horror. She played a number of cartoon characters, such as Snappy Smurfling in The Smurfs and Harold Frumpkin in Rugrats.

As Tony Toponi[edit]

While casting for Don Bluth’s film An American Tail, Musick was one of the women chosen to play Tony Toponi, becoming one of her well-known works. She based his voice on a friend she knew from grade school.[2] In the early 1990s, Musick was unable to recast as Tony following her then-current responsibility of her daughter Mae Whitman, who was just born in 1988,[3] causing the use of her character to be limited in the first sequel and completely unused in Fievel's American Tails until the direct-to-video sequels in the late 1990s.

Personal life[edit]

Musick married personal manager and set construction coordinator Jeff Whitman in 1983.[1] They have one daughter, actress and singer Mae Whitman.[4][3]
