Who voiced Bruce the shark?

Barry Humphries voiced Bruce the shark in Finding Nemo.

Bruce is a great white shark who belongs to a support group for sharks trying not to eat fish. His catchphrase, “Fish are friends, not food,” summarizes the group’s unusual philosophy, though the film repeatedly tests Bruce’s self-control when he smells blood or encounters vulnerable sea life.

Barry Humphries was an Australian comedian, actor, writer, and satirist best known internationally for characters such as Dame Edna Everage. His Australian background helped give Bruce a distinctive comic personality, matching the film’s setting around the Great Barrier Reef and Sydney.

Bruce is often confused with Anchor or Chum, the other sharks in the support group. Anchor is voiced by Eric Bana, while Chum is voiced by Bruce Spence. Bruce is the great white shark and the group’s most prominent member. The character’s friendly name and support-group setting deliberately contrast with the real species’ intimidating reputation.
