Which actor provided the voice of Gobber in the How to Train Your Dragon films?

Craig Ferguson provided the voice of Gobber in the How to Train Your Dragon films.

Gobber is Berk’s veteran blacksmith and one of Stoick’s closest companions. He helps train Hiccup in the forge and serves as a practical, often humorous adult presence while the young Vikings learn about dragons. Ferguson’s Scottish-accented performance contributes to the character’s distinctive voice and comic timing.

The character is physically imposing but emotionally supportive, particularly when Hiccup struggles to fit the expectations of Viking society. Gobber’s role expands beyond blacksmithing as he becomes part of Berk’s leadership and its changing relationship with dragons.

This casting fact can be confused with the voices of other major characters. Gerard Butler voices Stoick, while David Tennant voices Spitelout in the franchise’s animated productions. Gobber’s voice in the theatrical films is Craig Ferguson’s.
