In How to Train Your Dragon, who provides Hiccup’s voice?

The story behind the answer

In How to Train Your Dragon, Jay Baruchel provides Hiccup’s voice.

Baruchel voices Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III, the inventive Viking teenager at the center of the animated trilogy. Hiccup is physically smaller and less traditionally powerful than many of Berk’s warriors, but his curiosity and engineering skills allow him to understand dragons in a new way.

Baruchel continued voicing Hiccup in How to Train Your Dragon 2 and How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World. The role therefore follows Hiccup from an uncertain adolescent into a more responsible leader and husband. His performance is part of the character’s gradual change in confidence and maturity.

This fact is often mixed up with the voice casting of other major characters. Gerard Butler voices Stoick the Vast, America Ferrera voices Astrid, Craig Ferguson voices Gobber, and Cate Blanchett voices Valka. Jay Baruchel is the actor associated specifically with Hiccup in the animated films.
