Netflix's Green Eggs And Ham Cast & Characters | Screen Rant
Here’s a guide to the cast and characters of Green Eggs And Ham. Netflix’s animated take on Dr. Seuss’ Green Eggs And Ham book was adapted for the small screen by writer-producer Jared Stern and aired its first season in late 2019. The series was some four years in the making and is an international collaboration featuring contributions from animation studios scattered across the globe – California’s Chromosphere Studio, France’s Folimage and Canada’s Yowza! Animation included.
Costing an estimated $6 million per episode to produce, Netflix’s Green Eggs And Ham is thought to be one of the most expensive animated shows ever made. However, it seems it was money well spent as the show has been showered with critical acclaim and recently won a Daytime Emmy for Outstanding Casting for an Animated Series or Special.
With a ton of big-name talents making up its voice cast, it’s not too surprising the show is such a hit. Read on for a who’s who guide to the Green Eggs And Ham cast and the characters they voice.
Adam DeVine – Sam-I-Am
Sam-I-Am is the main protagonist of Netflix’s Green Eggs And Ham and is voiced by Adam DeVine of Workaholics fame. The series sees Sam-I-Am rescue a rare creature known as a chickeraffe from a zoo to return it to its natural habitat.
Michael Douglas – Guy-Am-I
Hollywood veteran Michael Douglas is the voice behind Guy-Am-I – a cantankerous failed inventor who inadvertently ends up on a road trip with Sam-I-Am. Guy-Am-I is based on the unnamed grump from Dr. Seuss’ Green Eggs And Ham book that rejects Sam’s offer of the titular dish.
Eddie Izzard – Hervnick Z. Snerz
Hervnick Z. Snerz is a cold-hearted tycoon and collector of rare animals who serves as the show’s main antagonist. He’s voiced by British actor-comedian Eddie Izzard and is a character original to Netflix’s Green Eggs And Ham series.
John Turturro – Goat
Voiced by John Turturro, Goat is a bounty hunter hired by Snerz to catch the chickeraffe. As his name suggests, he’s also a goat.
Ilana Glazer – E.B.
E.B. is an adventurous young girl voiced by Broad City’s Ilana Glazer who wants to adopt the chickeraffe as a pet. Like Hervnick Z. Snerz, E.B. wasn’t in the original Green Eggs And Ham book.
Diane Keaton – Michellee
Michellee is E.B.’s overprotective mother and Guy-Am-I’s love interest. She’s voiced by Oscar-winning actress Diane Keaton.
Dee Bradley Baker – Mr. Jenkins
Mr. Jenkins is the chickeraffe that Sam-I-Am liberates from the zoo and was given his name by E.B. He’s voiced by veteran voice actor Dee Bradley Baker whose other work includes Avatar: The Last Airbender.
Jeffrey Wright – McWinkle
Westworld star Jeffrey Wright is the voice behind McWinkle, another new addition to the original Green Eggs And Ham book. McWinkle is a tough guy who works for the top-secret agency B.A.D. G.U.Y.S. and is trying to track down the stolen chickeraffe.
Jillian Bell – Gluntz
Adam DeVine’s Workaholics co-star Jillian Bell voices the role of Gluntz – a rookie with B.A.D. G.U.Y.S. and McWinkle’s easily excited sidekick.
Keegan-Michael Key – Narrator
Rounding out the Netflix Green Eggs And Ham cast is Keegan-Michael Key who lends his voice to the animated series as narrator.
