Who provides the voice of Alex in the Madagascar film series?

Ben Stiller provides the voice of Alex in the Madagascar film series.

Alex is an African lion who begins the first film as the star attraction of New York’s Central Park Zoo. He enjoys performing for visitors and eating carefully prepared meals, so his sudden arrival in the wild creates both comic and emotional problems. Stiller’s performance gives Alex an energetic, theatrical personality while also emphasizing his loyalty to his friends.

Stiller voices Alex in Madagascar, Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa and Madagascar 3: Europe’s Most Wanted. He also returned for related franchise appearances, including the short-form and promotional projects connected with the films.

The principal cast includes Chris Rock as Marty, David Schwimmer as Melman and Jada Pinkett Smith as Gloria. Those voices are sometimes mixed up because the four animals travel together throughout the trilogy, but Alex’s voice role belongs to Stiller.
