The article formerly said ..."noted as his long-running-role as..." I believe this should be "noted for his long-running-role as" and changed it to such. Is there any reason it was written as the former? Just seems surprising to me that such an obvious mistake would make it through, particularly in the lead sentence. Aren't people noted "for" thing, not "as" things? Or is the reasoning that, since SpongeBob is a character, the former is appropriate? Am I making a mountain out of a molehill?

I just want to ask this to make sure if it's ok, is it ok if we add "voice actor" in the info-box in occupation section. Not only does he do live action acting, because he also does voice acting in animated shows as well, shouldn't that be important for the info-box too? Because he does do voice acting most of all too. FrozenFan2 ( talk) 01:44, 14 May 2015 (UTC)
I think I'm starting to get it, I just wanted to ask that here just to make sure before adding it back again. But now I have my answer now. FrozenFan2 ( talk) 14:27, 14 May 2015 (UTC)

Rocko's Modern Life Tom Kenny provided the voice for Heffer Wolfe, one of Rocko's bestfriends. Despite the name of the Character he is actually a large cow, adopted and raised by wolves. He voiced the character from 1992 to 1996 when the series was cancelled. Though the character was actually brought back for Camp Lazlo. Toastinospizzarolls ( talk) 23:34, 8 July 2015 (UTC) James Allred
Tom Kenny also did the voice of the robot known as Nigel in the tv series known as Godzilla the series. In the series Nigel would get destroyed either by Godzilla himself, or by one of the many monsters in the show. Now Tom Kenny did the voice of the robot. Both before he was destroyed, or while it was screaming. This was before he did the voice of Spongebob Squarepants — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.36.101.30 ( talk) 09:09, 23 November 2016 (UTC)

I've recently noticed that Tom Kenny's kids names are listed in the Infobox, instead it should say "2". Because according to Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons, non notable family member names should not be listed in the Infobox, instead, having the number of kids should be listed in there instead of there actually names. Hope this makes sense and understandable, I'm not trying to confuse everyone. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia 2600:1000:B00E:1D74:C51:2B0B:F1D6:455C ( talk) 04:13, 4 June 2017 (UTC)
I'd like to request that he be classified as a voice actor and singer next to his occupations as an actor and comedian. Austin012599 ( talk) 22:13, 23 June 2017 (UTC)
He does provide the singing voice of Spongebob. Also, there are albums of Spongebob songs.
Plus, I think you guys are underestimating what a voice actor really is. Austin012599 ( talk) 19:50, 24 June 2017 (UTC)
Well, why not voice artist? It is a synonym for voice actor, but surely it can be a better and less repetitive term to describe Kenny by. Austin012599 ( talk) 02:25, 25 June 2017 (UTC)
The term "voice artist" worked for Chris Parnell when the term "voice actor" didn't fit him. I should know, because I put that there before I even became a member. It took a while, until it was finally settled that he be called a voice artist.
Aside from that, this is why I thought at first that people were underestimating what a voice actor or voice artist is. The word actor or actress doesn't apply to every kind of performance. Not every actor can do what people like Tom Kenny or Tara Strong can do. For instance, Bill Murray has done voice-overs, but he can't change his voice or do things that Kenny or Strong can do. There's a big difference between the occupation of voice actor & just plain actor.
Also, it's just not very satisfying to call someone a simple actor when really they can do so much more when they perform or work in the movie industry. Austin012599 ( talk) 18:19, 25 June 2017 (UTC)

I want to point out that he is a musician and singer as well, even having his own group called Tom Kenny & The Hi Seas. I don't know how to actually word this but I feel his occupation has a musician should be brought up, I also have a source to back it up as well. 73.240.105.138 ( talk) 13:55, 11 June 2019 (UTC)
It's interesting to note that some actors have the fancier sounding List of (actor/actress name goes here) Performances. As in the cases for him and fellow voice artiste Tara Strong, their filmography guides rather have that naming convention in lieu of the trite and bland sounding naming convention of (Actor/actress name goes here) Filmography.
I had tried having the latter to have her filmography guide renamed to a pair of admins named Anarchyte and CambridgeBayWeather but both of them denied the request.
So is it a magnificent idea to have their filmography guides to be renamed to those? Though Grey Griffin has too many voices in her name the aforementioned header should be kept.
Hope someone respond to this ASAP.
