In the 1991 animated Beauty and the Beast, which actor voiced Cogsworth?

In Disney's 1991 animated Beauty and the Beast, David Ogden Stiers voiced Cogsworth.

Cogsworth is the castle's enchanted mantel clock and serves as the Beast's anxious, rule-minded majordomo. His formal manner contrasts with Lumière's more outgoing personality, creating one of the film's central comic pairings.

Stiers also voiced the film's narrator-like figure, the Sultan, a role sometimes overlooked because Cogsworth is his much more prominent character. His precise delivery helped establish Cogsworth as fussy, cautious, and loyal to the castle's master.

Jerry Orbach, another well-known voice in the film, played Lumière rather than Cogsworth. Angela Lansbury voiced Mrs. Potts, while Bradley Pierce voiced Chip. These overlapping servant characters are a common source of cast mix-ups.
