The question on every fan’s mind since the announcement of the *Phineas and Ferb* revival is simple: who’s back? As of today, December 18, 2025, the highly anticipated return of the iconic Disney animated series is gearing up for its fifth season, and the good news is that nearly all of the beloved original cast members are set to reprise their roles, with a few notable, yet expected, changes. This article dives deep into the legendary voice actors, the major casting shifts for the new season, and the fascinating careers of the people who bring summer's greatest inventors to life. The return of this Emmy Award-winning series, created by Dan Povenmire and Jeff "Swampy" Marsh, marks a significant moment for Disney, bringing the inventive stepbrothers, their constantly busting sister, and their nemesis-fighting platypus back to the screen after the original series ended its run in 2015. The continuity of the core cast ensures the show’s familiar and infectious energy will remain intact, even as the characters embark on new adventures.

The Voice Actors Behind the Tri-State Area: Full Cast Biography

The success of *Phineas and Ferb* is inseparable from its phenomenal voice cast, many of whom were already established stars or seasoned voice veterans. Here is a look at the key actors returning for the revival, including the new face stepping into a major role.

Vincent Martella (Phineas Flynn)

Character: Phineas Flynn

Biography: Born on October 15, 1992, Vincent Martella is an American actor and singer who began voicing the triangle-headed, perpetually optimistic Phineas when he was just 13 years old. Outside of his iconic voice role, Martella is widely recognized for his live-action work as Greg Wuliger on the UPN/CW sitcom *Everybody Hates Chris* from 2005 to 2009. His career highlights also include a role in the film *Role Models* and providing the voice for Jason Todd/Robin in the animated film *Batman: Under the Red Hood*. His return to the role of Phineas in the new season is a cornerstone of the revival.

Ashley Tisdale (Candace Flynn)

Character: Candace Flynn

Biography: Born on July 2, 1985, Ashley Michelle Tisdale-French is an American actress and singer who first rose to prominence with Disney Channel. Before voicing the perpetually "busting" older sister, Candace Flynn, Tisdale was a major star known for her roles as Maddie Fitzpatrick in *The Suite Life of Zack & Cody* and the unforgettable Sharpay Evans in the *High School Musical* film series. She began her career at a young age, featuring in over 100 advertisements as a child. Her distinct, energetic voice is crucial to Candace's manic, yet endearing, personality.

Dan Povenmire (Dr. Heinz Doofenshmirtz, Creator)

Character: Dr. Heinz Doofenshmirtz, various other voices (like Colonel Goethals), and Co-Creator/Executive Producer.

Biography: Born on September 25, 1963, Daniel Kingsley Povenmire is an Emmy Award-winning animation veteran, writer, director, and voice actor. Alongside co-creator Jeff "Swampy" Marsh, Povenmire not only created *Phineas and Ferb* but also co-created *Milo Murphy's Law* and *Hamster & Gretel*. His extensive career in animation includes working on legendary shows such as *The Simpsons*, *Rocko's Modern Life* (where he was a storyboarder, writer, and director), and *SpongeBob SquarePants*. His signature, slightly nasally voice for Dr. Doofenshmirtz is one of the show's most recognizable comedic elements.

David Errigo Jr. (Ferb Fletcher)

Character: Ferb Fletcher

Biography: Born on June 29, 1986, David Errigo Jr. is an American actor, voice actor, and editor. He is the new voice of the silent, green-haired stepbrother, Ferb Fletcher, a role he first took over in the 2020 film *Phineas and Ferb the Movie: Candace Against the Universe*. Errigo Jr. is a prolific voice actor, also known for voicing Oswald the Lucky Rabbit in Disney video games like *Disney Speedstorm* and *Dreamlight Valley*, as well as roles in *Ridley Jones* and the reboot of *Tiny Toons*. His seamless transition into the role of Ferb was critical for the revival's production.

The Recasting Reality: Why Ferb and Jeremy Have New Voices

While the return of the original cast is a cause for celebration, the new season introduces two significant casting changes that fans should be aware of: the voices behind Ferb Fletcher and Jeremy Johnson. Understanding these shifts is key to appreciating the updated sound of the Tri-State Area.

The Ferb Fletcher Recast

The biggest change for the revival is the voice of Ferb Fletcher. In the original series, Ferb was famously voiced by the British actor Thomas Brodie-Sangster, known for his roles in *Love Actually* and *The Maze Runner* franchise.

However, David Errigo Jr. has officially taken over the role for the new season, continuing his work from the *Candace Against the Universe* movie.

The decision to recast was largely due to Thomas Brodie-Sangster's unavailability and his reported preference to step away from voice acting to focus on his live-action career. While Ferb has few lines, his voice is distinct, and Errigo Jr. has been praised for maintaining the character's quiet, cool demeanor.

The Jeremy Johnson Casting Shift

Another subtle but important change is the voice of Jeremy Johnson, Candace's crush. The original voice actor was Mitchel Musso, a fellow Disney star known for his role as Oliver Oken in *Hannah Montana*.

For the new season, Jeremy Johnson's voice has also been recast. While the network has not yet officially named the new actor, this change, along with the Ferb recast, ensures that the production can proceed smoothly and consistently. Mitchel Musso did not return due to personal reasons, opening the door for a new actor to portray the charming boy who finally notices Candace.

The Returning Supporting Ensemble

Crucially, the rest of the core cast, which provides the show's rich tapestry of characters, is back:

  • Alyson Stoner as Isabella Garcia-Shapiro and her Fireside Girls troop leader role.
  • Dee Bradley Baker as Perry the Platypus, Agent P, and all other animal voices. Baker is a legendary voice actor known for his work across hundreds of animated projects.
  • Caroline Rhea as Linda Flynn-Fletcher, the boys' mother.
  • Richard O'Brien as Lawrence Fletcher, the boys' father.
  • Bobby Gaylor as Buford Van Stomm, the neighborhood bully.
  • Maulik Pancholy as Baljeet Tjinder, Buford's frequent companion.
  • Jeff "Swampy" Marsh as Major Monogram, the head of the O.W.C.A. (Organization Without a Cool Acronym).

Behind the Mic: Unique Facts and Topical Authority

The *Phineas and Ferb* voice cast is a tight-knit group with a history of unusual recording practices and surprising career twists that add to the show's unique charm and topical authority.

The Voice of Phineas is a Deep Baritone in Real Life

One of the most surprising facts about the show is the immense difference between Vincent Martella's natural speaking voice and Phineas Flynn's high-pitched, enthusiastic tone. Martella possesses a much deeper baritone voice in real life. When he first started, he was a young teenager, and he had to work diligently to maintain the consistent, energetic sound of the character, a testament to his skill as a voice actor.

The Creators Voice Major Characters

The show's co-creators are integral members of the voice cast, a practice that is common in animation but rarely involves characters as central as Dr. Doofenshmirtz and Major Monogram. Dan Povenmire voices the eccentric Dr. Doofenshmirtz, while Jeff "Swampy" Marsh voices the stern but humorous Major Monogram. This hands-on approach by the creators ensures that the comic timing and character nuances are exactly as they intended.

The Theme Song Star is a Rocker

While not a main cast member, the voice of the iconic theme song, "Today is Gonna Be a Great Day," belongs to Jaret Reddick, the lead singer of the rock band Bowling for Soup. His energetic vocals set the tone for every episode and are a crucial part of the show's identity. Reddick has also done voice acting for other animated properties.

A Star-Studded Guest List for Season 5

The new season is set to continue the show's tradition of featuring high-profile celebrity cameos. The announced guest voice actors for the revival include a diverse group of stars, adding a fresh layer of excitement. Among the names confirmed are Michael Bublé, Alan Cumming, Lake Bell, John Stamos, Leslie Jones, Anna Faris, Brendan Hunt, Cristo Fernández, and the actress known simply as Megan. These appearances will undoubtedly lead to new, memorable songs and inventive plotlines that only Phineas and Ferb could dream up.

The return of *Phineas and Ferb* is a massive win for fans of clever, musical, and endlessly imaginative animation. With the core cast largely returning, led by the familiar voices of Vincent Martella, Ashley Tisdale, and Dan Povenmire, the show is poised to recapture its magic. The seamless addition of David Errigo Jr. as Ferb ensures the stepbrother dynamic remains strong, proving that even with a few recasts, the spirit of summer vacation—and busting your brother—is alive and well.
