Who voices Stefano, the sea lion, in Madagascar 3: Europe’s Most Wanted?

The story behind the answer

Martin Short voices Stefano, the sea lion, in Madagascar 3: Europe’s Most Wanted.

Stefano is a cheerful sea lion associated with the circus that the Madagascar animals join in Europe. His enthusiasm and comic energy make him one of the prominent new supporting characters in the third film.

Martin Short is known for work in comedy, television, film, and voice acting. His performance as Stefano is separate from the returning actors who voice Alex, Marty, Melman, Gloria, and the penguins.

The character is sometimes confused with other circus animals in the film, especially Vitaly the Siberian tiger and Gia the jaguar. Stefano’s species and actor are distinct identifying details from the third Madagascar movie.
