At the Academy Awards last Sunday , J.K. Simmons took home the Best Supporting Actor honor for his part inWhiplash , piss him the first M&M to win an Oscar . Simmons has provided the part for the bollocks Yellow M&M character for nearly 20 years — but he ’s not the only celebrity to mouth for the confect . Here ’s his floor — and six others .
1. J.K. Simmons // Yellow
You do n’t have to worry that Simmons is moving on to greener ( yellower ? ) pastures now that he ’s an Oscar succeeder — he latterly recorded new voiceover work for the brand . To celebrate his nominations this award season , the company presented him with a mosaicportraitof himself made out of — what else?—M&Ms .
2. Billy West // Red
You may be more familiar with Billy West from one of his many othervoiceover job . He ’s Fry , Zapp Brannigan , Professor Farnsworth , and Zoidberg fromFuturama ; Doug Funnie and Roger Klotz onDoug ; Ren and Stimpy onRen and Stimpy ; and many , many others . That ’s him in the commercial above with J.K. Simmons .
3. John Goodman // Yellow
Before J.K. made the Yellow M&M his , America ’s Sweetheart John Goodman had the purpose .
4. Jon Lovitz // Red
Similarly , before Billy West took over Red , the part belong to to Jon Lovitz . Here ’s a super-’90s commercial with Goodman , Lovitz , and Steven Weber ( as himself , not an M&M ) .
5 . Cree Summer // Green
In response to theurban legendthat some ingredient in these finical M&Ms makes them aphrodisiac , Mars decided to make the Green M&M character a vampy vamper . Enter Cree Summer , also known as Susie Carmichael fromRugrats , Elmyra Duff fromTiny Toon Adventures , and Penny fromInspector Gadget . Like Billy West , her voiceover survey is quitelongand telling .
6. Vanessa Williams // Brown
One of the newest members of the spokescandy family , Vanessa Williams ill-treat into the function of Brown with a Super Bowl ad in 2012 . “ Ms. Brown is definitely the mind behind it all , ” Williamssaidshortly after her debut .
7. Eric Kirchberger // Orange
This pretzel M&M is forever emphasise about being eaten — and who can blame him ? Pretzel M&Ms aredelicious . When he ’s not pretending to be confect , Kirchberger is astandup comedianand actor .
Honorable Mention: Phil Hartman.
Though it ’s mentioned in several places that Hartman vocalize Blue when the color replaced tan in 1995 , I could n’t regain any evidence to stick out that . What I did find , however , was the 1996 commercial featuring Hartman as “ Mr. Chocola - ta - tay , ” a chocolate prevention desperately trying to imprint Tia Carrere .
