Who voiced Prince Hans in the original Frozen film?

Santino Fontana voiced Prince Hans in the original 2013 animated film Frozen. Hans is the prince of the Southern Isles who arrives in Arendelle for Elsa’s coronation and quickly courts Anna.

Fontana’s performance is important because Hans initially appears to be a charming romantic hero. His smooth, enthusiastic delivery in “Love Is an Open Door” helps establish Anna’s belief that they are perfectly matched. Later, however, Hans reveals that his affection was calculated: he intends to marry into Arendelle’s royal family and take control of the kingdom.

Fontana was part of Frozen’s principal English-language voice cast alongside Kristen Bell as Anna, Idina Menzel as Elsa, Jonathan Groff as Kristoff, and Josh Gad as Olaf. He also sang Hans’s part in the film’s musical numbers, so the role involved both dialogue and vocal performance.

A common mix-up is identifying another prominent male voice from the film. Josh Gad voiced Olaf, Jonathan Groff voiced Kristoff, and Alan Tudyk voiced the Duke of Weselton. None of those actors played Hans.
