Which actor replaced Don Rickles as Mr. Potato Head in Toy Story 5?

Jeff Bergman replaced Don Rickles as the voice of Mr. Potato Head in Toy Story 5. Bergman is a veteran voice actor and impressionist who took over the role after Rickles, the character’s original film voice, died in 2017.

Rickles’s performance remained part of the franchise through archival material used for Mr. Potato Head in Toy Story 4. For Toy Story 5, the production recruited Bergman to provide new dialogue rather than recasting the character with one of the film’s other returning voice actors. His background includes voicing Bugs Bunny, George Jetson, Yogi Bear and the Joker.

The wrong options reflect other casting associations. Blake Clark voices Slinky Dog, having taken over that role after Jim Varney’s death. Ernie Hudson voices Combat Carl in Toy Story 5, succeeding Carl Weathers, while John Hopkins is not the actor credited with Mr. Potato Head. Mrs. Potato Head was also recast separately, with Anna Vocino taking over after Estelle Harris’s death.
