Can You Guess Which Oscar Winner Provides The Voice of The Yellow M&M?
Check out this old M&M's commercial and see if you can guess which Oscar winner does the voice of Yellow:
I just received a press release that completely blew my mind. It revealed that the answer is Whiplash star J.K. Simmons! That's crazy to me. It's one of those things where now that I know it's him, his voice is more recognizable when I watch the commercials, but I had never even considered who provided those voices before. (Doug and Futurama voice actor Billy West is the Red M&M, by the way, and apparently Jon Lovitz and John Goodman were the original voices of the characters when they were first introduced.
In honor of Simmons' (well-deserved) Oscar win at last night's ceremony and to celebrate the fact that he's been the voice of the yellow "spokescandy" for almost 20 years, M&M's sent over a few pictures of Simmons recording material as well as a portrait of him made out of M&M's. Pretty cool, right?
