‘Phineas and Ferb’ cast: See which fan-favorite voices are returning for the revival

Vincent Martella as Phineas Flynn

Chances are you know Vincent Martella best by his voice, especially as Phineas on Phineas and Ferb and Hope Estheim in the Final Fantasy video game series (2010–2013). But he’s also popped up in front of the camera in Everybody Hates Chris (2005–2009), Role Models (2008), and AMC’s The Walking Dead (2013-2014).

Martella reprises his role as Phineas, the ever-optimistic and creative young boy who’s always dreaming up his next big summer project.

Speaking at a press conference (via Temple of Geek), Martella spoke about what it’s like to get back into character. “I’ve played Phineas for 17, 18 years now. So, Phineas has been a huge, huge part of my life,” he shared. “But the first record that I ever had coming back to do new episodes of the show was definitely an emotional experience. I was really, really moved and excited because, like I said, I mean, 17, 18 years is a really long time to do anything.”

Ashley Tisdale as Candace Flynn

Actress and singer Ashley Tisdale helped define a generation of Disney magic as Maddie on The Suite Life of Zack & Cody (2005–2008) and Sharpay Evans in the High School Musical films (2006–2008).

More recently, she appeared on Merry Happy Whatever (2019), Carol’s Second Act (2019–2020), and The Masked Dancer (2020–2021), on which she served as a panelist.

Tisdale returns to voice older sister Candace on Phineas and Ferb, who spends most of her time striving to get them in trouble for their daily escapades.

“She’s such a great character to play,” Tisdale told EW back in 2020. “There’s just so much creative freedom; there’s no limit to her.”

David Errigo Jr. as Ferb Fletcher

David Errigo Jr. is no stranger to voice acting, having made a name for himself by lending his voice to several big-name characters. Notable voiceover roles include Tails on Sonic for Hire (2023), the trickster Mister Mxyzptlk on My Adventures with Superman (2023), and both Gladiator and Banshee on X-Men ’97 (2024).

His standout role as Dudley the Dodo on Netflix’s Ridley Jones (2021–2023) earned him a Children’s and Family Emmy nomination for Outstanding Voice Performance.

Errigo Jr. brings his talents to Phineas and Ferb as the voice of Ferb Fletcher, the clever and resourceful stepbrother to Phineas and Candace. He first took over the role from Thomas Brodie-Sangster in a 2018 crossover episode of Milo Murphy’s Law, and later reprised it in Phineas and Ferb the Movie: Candace Against the Universe (2020).

Caroline Rhea as Linda Flynn-Fletcher

For many, Caroline Rhea will always be Aunt Hilda, the fun, chaotic witch from Sabrina the Teenage Witch (1996–2003). But her career extends beyond the cauldron, with roles in family favorites like Sydney to the Max (2019–2021) and Lopez vs Lopez (2022).

She’s no stranger to hosting, either, taking the lead on shows like The Biggest Loser (2004–2006), Cake Walk: Wedding Cake Edition (2011), and Caroline & Friends (2018).

Before stepping into the Phineas and Ferb universe, she shared the screen with Tisdale on The Suite Life of Zack & Cody, playing strict German hotel inspector-turned-manager Ilsa in season 1.

Now, Rhea is back as Linda Flynn-Fletcher, Phineas and Candace’s caring (and often clueless) mom who, once upon a time, was a pop sensation named Lindana.

On the red carpet at the Phineas and Ferb revival premiere, the actress shared what she loves most about playing Linda. “I enjoy that I was a famous rock star and had my one-hit-wonder,” she joked, adding, “I love that my own daughter is a teenager, so I love that I get to project that onto Candace!”

Richard O’Brien as Lawrence Fletcher

Grammy-nominated superstar Richard O’Brien is a true jack-of-all-trades, having worked as an actor, writer, presenter, singer, and musician. He’s the twisted mind behind The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1973) and its follow-up, Shock Treatment (1981), starring as Riff Raff and Dr. Cosmo McKinley, respectively.

O’Brien has flexed his quirky charm in a number of oddball films, from the spacey camp of Flash Gordon (1980) to Spice World (1997), Dungeons & Dragons (2000), and Elvira’s Haunted Hills (2001).

O’Brien returns to lend his voice to Lawrence Fletcher, Ferb’s sweet but absent-minded dad.

Dee Bradley Baker as Perry the Platypus

Dee Bradley Baker is a vocal chameleon — if it growls, squeaks, slithers, or squawks, there’s a good chance he’s behind it. One of the most prolific voice actors in the business, Baker has made a career out of bringing animals, creatures, and the occasional chaotic alien to life. Naturally, voicing Perry the Platypus is right up his alley.

Some of his most notable credits include Space Jam (1996), SpongeBob SquarePants (1999–present), American Dad! (2005–present), Avatar: The Last Airbender (2005–2008), Adventure Time (2010–2018), and Muppet Babies (2018–2022).

Baker returns as Perry, the Flynn-Fletcher family’s pet platypus who moonlights as a secret agent for the all-animal spy group O.W.C.A. (Organization Without a Cool Acronym).

At the Phineas and Ferb season 5 premiere, Baker reflected on the deeper meaning behind the fan-favorite character. “Perry the Platypus means to me kind of what the show means to me, which is the triumph of a good person,” he said. “A can-do, smart, helpful, empathetic… good person. There’s something optimistic about him, always triumphing over any adversity, and that’s inspiring.”

Alyson Stoner as Isabella Garcia-Shapiro

Like Tisdale, Alyson Stoner’s work on the Disney Channel made them a part of so many childhoods. You might remember Stoner as Max on The Suite Life of Zack & Cody (2005–2007), where they shared the screen with Tisdale. But their breakout moment was as Caitlyn, an aspiring music producer in Camp Rock (2008) and its sequel, Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam (2010).

Outside of Disney, though, Stoner lit up the screen in Cheaper by the Dozen (2003) and its 2005 sequel, and showed off serious moves in the Step Up franchise (2006–2014).

More recently, Stoner has been using their platform to hold serious conversations about the enduring impact of growing up in the spotlight. They hosted the Dear Hollywood podcast in 2023 and made an appearance in Child Star, Demi Lovato’s 2024 documentary about growing up in the spotlight.

Stoner is also the co-founder and CEO of Movement Genius, a digital wellness platform offering “live and on-demand classes to help you improve your mental, emotional, and physical well-being.”

Stoner reprises their role as Isabella on Phineas and Ferb, the confident leader of the Fireside Girls Troop and Phineas and Ferb’s lovestruck neighbor who has a major crush on Phineas.

The actor shared that one of their favorite things about Isabella is the character’s ability to “switch to commander mode and be in charge of the Fireside Girls, but then she also can immediately be overwhelmed with adoration for Phineas in the next breath.”

Bobby Gaylor as Buford Van Stomm

Writer and voice actor Bobby Gaylor has been in the business for decades, first gaining fame with the spoken-word album Fuzzatonic Scream (1999), a raw and witty release that earned him a cult following. He took advantage of the attention and ran with it, carving out a solid career in TV and animation.

While he’s best known for Phineas and Ferb, Gaylor has lent his writing talents to fan-favorite shows like Roseanne (1996), The Bernie Mac Show (2002–2003), The Snoopy Show (2021–2022), and SpongeBob SquarePants (2023–2024).

Gaylor is back as the voice of Buford Van Stomm, the tough-on-the-outside, soft-on-the-inside “bully” who’s more frenemy than foe to Phineas, Ferb, and the gang.

Maulik Pancholy as Baljeet Tjinder

Maulik Pancholy is an actor and award-winning writer who won a 2023 Lambda Literary Award for Nikhil Out Loud (2022), which follows a group of eighth-grade theater kids taking a stand against homophobia in their town.

On the acting side, Pancholy has had a standout career with memorable roles like Sanjay on Weeds (2005–2012), Jonathan (Jack Donaghy’s devoted assistant) on 30 Rock (2006–2012), and Arnav on Only Murders in the Building (2021).

Up next, he’s set to star in an upcoming A24 musical comedy from Jesse Eisenberg.

Pancholy reprises his role as Baljeet Tjinder, Phineas and Ferb’s intellectual neighbor and good friend.

Dan Povenmire as Dr. Heinz Doofenshmirtz

One half of the creative duo behind Phineas and Ferb is Dan Povenmire, a true animation all-star with decades in the industry.

While he’s worked on several popular shows over the years, he’s best known for co-creating Phineas and Ferb with Jeff “Swampy” Marsh. Povenmire is also the creative force behind Hamster & Gretel, a Disney Channel superhero comedy starring his real-life daughter, Meli.

Povenmire is back as the voice of Dr. Heinz “Doof” Doofenshmirtz, a hopelessly inept evil scientist with a flair for the dramatic and a knack for building bizarre inventions in his quest to take over the Tri-State Area.

Jeff ‘Swampy’ Marsh as Major Francis Monogram

The other half of the team that started it all is Jeff “Swampy” Marsh. Before co-creating Phineas and Ferb and and Milo’s Murphy Law (2016–2019) with Povenmire, Marsh worked on a number of animated programs, including Rocko’s Modern Life (1993–1996) and King of the Hill (1997–2000).

Marsh is back as the voice of the ever-serious Major Francis Monogram, head of the O.W.C.A. and Perry’s boss.

Tyler Alexander Mann as Carl Karl

Tyler Alexander Mann is likely best known for his role as Carl on Phineas and Ferb, but he’s also popped up in live-action roles, including one-episode appearances on Weeds (2010) and Modern Family (2011), the latter of which cast him as a character credited only as “Nerd.”

Mann returns to voice Carl, Major Monogram’s unpaid intern in the O.W.C.A. His job? Filming the mustached man when he’s being interviewed and talking to Perry.

Olivia Olson as Vanessa Doofenshmirtz

Olivia Olson has a fun bit of history with her former Phineas and Ferb costar Brodie-Sangster — they shared the screen years earlier in Love Actually (2003). Brodie-Sangster played Sam, a boy who falls in love with his American classmate, Joanna, played by Olson. And yes, spoiler alert, she kisses him on the cheek at the end of the movie.

A proud nepo baby (her dad is writer-producer Martin Olson), Olson has made a name for herself in the world of animation and beyond. She’s largely known for Phineas and Ferb and Adventure Time (2010–2018), but she’s also made waves behind the scenes.

Olson co-wrote the Marcy and Simon graphic novel, had a hand in writing Adventure Time: The Enchiridion & Marcy’s Super-Secret Scrapbook, and contributed to the best-selling The Adventure Time Encyclopædia. She’s also part of the writing team for the Phineas and Ferb revival.

Speaking of which, Olson reprises her role as Vanessa Doofenshmirtz, Heinz and Charlene’s sarcastic and sharp teenage daughter.
