Ice T is a modern day renaissance man: he raps, acts, is a new father and, apparently, also did some voice-over work back in the day. On Wednesday night's episode of "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon," the host had the "Law & Order: SVU" actor pretend like he had done some voice-over work before anyone really knew what his voice sounded like.
"A lot of people might not know that you’re also a very good voice-over actor," Fallon said to Ice T. "Growing up, I watched a lot of these cartoons and I had no idea it was your voice because I didn’t know you at the time."
During the episode, Fallon showed a number of clips from classic cartoons like "Peanuts" and "DuckTales," and set up the bit like Ice T was "revisiting" his past work as a voice-over actor. The only difference was the cartoons suddenly became R-rated once the rapper lent his vocal talents to the cartoons.
The first clip that Fallon rolled out was from "Peanuts" where Ice T voiced a lesser known character who comments on Charlie Brown looking up at the night sky. "Yo, my man Charlie Brown is straight up baked," Ice T said in the cartoon.
While the people in charge of "Peanuts" did not ask the rapper back for more work, he still continued to get work.
The next cartoon that he did was on the superhero animated series "Super Friends" where he voiced Batman. In the clip from the series, Ice T’s Batman was sick of sidekick Robin complaining and told him, "Man the f--k up, Robin, you little bitch."
The next cartoon he voiced was Scrooge McDuck on "DuckTales," in which his character was more interested in a Tinder date where he could "Netflix and Chill" then take his little nephews to a movie.
Finally, "SpongeBob SquarePants" got a makeover from Ice T when he lent his distinctive voice to the character of Squidward, who told SpongeBob, "Back the f--k up, SpongeBitch SquareDick."
Before Ice T pretended to be a successful voice-over actor, he brought out his wife Coco Austin and their new baby Chanel. The adorable girl was on her best behavior and stayed asleep during the entire interview.
"Chanel, say hello to your rich uncle," Ice T shouted as Fallon held the 4-month-old.
