Who voices Birdperson?

Birdperson is voiced by Dan Harmon. Harmon is also the co-creator, writer, and executive producer of Rick and Morty, making Birdperson one of the series’ notable character performances by a member of its creative team.

Birdperson is introduced as Rick Sanchez’s serious, reserved friend and former comrade. He first appears in the season-one episode “Ricksy Business,” where he attends one of Rick’s parties and participates in the chaotic events surrounding the Smith family.

Over time, the character becomes central to Rick’s emotional history. Later episodes reveal that Birdperson and Rick fought together against the Galactic Federation. Birdperson also rejects Rick’s attempts to pull him into a more carefree life, creating a friendship marked by loyalty, ideological differences, and unresolved feelings.

A major development occurs when Birdperson is transformed into Phoenixperson after being reprogrammed by Tammy Gueterman. The character’s story continues through episodes including “Rickternal Friendshine of the Spotless Mort” and “The Rickshank Rickdemption.” Dan Harmon’s measured delivery helps distinguish Birdperson from Rick’s louder, more frantic style.
