Who voiced the character of Iago in Aladdin?

Who voiced the character of Iago in Aladdin? Gilbert Gottfried voiced Iago in Disney’s 1992 animated film.

Iago is Jafar’s sharp-tongued red lory sidekick, serving as both comic relief and a secondary antagonist. Gottfried’s famously abrasive, high-pitched delivery became one of the film’s most recognizable performances.

The filmmakers originally imagined Iago as a calmer, more serious character, but changed direction after seeing Gottfried’s work. His performance helped establish the parrot as an unusually loud and irritable foil to the more controlled Jafar.

A common mix-up is the 2019 live-action remake, in which Iago was voiced by Alan Tudyk. Gottfried remained the definitive voice of the animated Iago, reprising the role in Disney’s animated sequels, television series and related media.
