Which comedian provided the voice of Donkey in the Shrek film series?

Eddie Murphy provided the voice of Donkey in the Shrek film series.

DreamWorks released Shrek in 2001, with Murphy performing the voice of Donkey, a talkative and loyal character who becomes one of the franchise’s central comic figures. Mike Myers voiced Shrek, Cameron Diaz voiced Princess Fiona, and John Lithgow voiced Lord Farquaad in the first film.

Murphy’s performance was widely recognized as a major part of the movie’s comedic identity. Donkey’s rapid speech, energetic personality, and frequent song references contrast with Shrek’s quieter temperament. Murphy reprised the role in Shrek 2, Shrek the Third, and Shrek Forever After.

The role is sometimes confused with Murphy’s live-action film work, including The Nutty Professor and Coming to America. Donkey is a voice performance, not a character Murphy portrays onscreen.
