Who voices Mr. Incredible?

Craig T. Nelson voices Mr. Incredible in The Incredibles.

Mr. Incredible is the superhero identity of Robert “Bob” Parr, the patriarch of the Parr family. Nelson supplies Bob’s voice in both The Incredibles (2004) and its sequel, Incredibles 2 (2018). His performance combines the character’s booming confidence with the frustration of a former superhero trapped in an ordinary insurance job.

Bob’s story begins after lawsuits and public pressure force superheroes into retirement. Although he works as a claims adjuster, he secretly misses his heroic life and eventually accepts a dangerous assignment from Syndrome’s associate, Mirage. His powers include superhuman strength, durability, stamina, and agility.

A common mix-up is confusing the actor with other major cast members. Samuel L. Jackson voices Bob’s friend Lucius Best, better known as Frozone; Jason Lee voices Syndrome; and Brad Bird voices costume designer Edna Mode. Nelson is also a live-action actor known for television and films, but Mr. Incredible was his major animated-film voice role.
