~ Benny in The Maharajah of Pookajee |
Benjamin "Benny" Ball, known to most as Benny the Ball, is the deuteragonist in the Hanna-Barbera cartoon Top Cat and the movie
He was originally voiced by Maurice Gosfield in Top Cat and by Avery Schreiber in the 1988 film Top Cat and the Beverly Hills Cats. He was also voiced by Chris Edgerly in Top Cat: The Movie and Top Cat Begins, voiced by the late John Stephenson in Yogi's Ark Lark, and also appeared in Harvey Birdman: Attorney at Law (voiced by Maurice Lamarche).
Appearance[]
He is blue cat wearing a white jacket with only one button to his neck, unlike other alley cats, he has beady eyes and is the shortest out of Top Cat's gang. Benny appears innocent, naive and somewhat slow and simple-minded.
History[]
Benny is a member of Top Cat's gang and is his right hand man and best friend. He is involved in most of Top Cat's schemes, most of which are illegal but justified due to the gang's living conditions, and he tends to be the most innocently naive and optimistic of the bunch.
In episode 8 of Top Cat, Benny's mother comes to visit while Top Cat and the gang try to convince her that Benny is the mayor of the city. He does have a number of episodes focusing on him, like in The Violin Player, The Unscatchables and The Missing Heir.

Trivia[]
- A running joke with Benny is that he always says "he's hungry" at inappropriate times.
