Production

Chris Parnell replaced Ty Burrell (who notably replaced Bill Scott) as the voice of Mr. Peabody from the 2014 film Mr. Peabody & Sherman. He auditioned for the role about a year and a half before the series' premiere. Trying to replicate Bill Scott's voice as close as possible, he prepared by watching the 1960s show, and ended up doing his own interpretation of the character.[8]
