Tony Anselmo is an animator and cartoon voice actor and, since 1985, the voice of Donald Duck. Anselmo was trained by the original voice of Donald, Clarence Nash. Anselmo has also shared voice-over duties (with Russi Taylor) for Donald's nephews, Huey, Dewey, and Louie since 1999. He voiced the nephews on Mickey Mouse Works and House of Mouse. (Taylor voiced the nephews in Ducktales, Once and Twice Upon a Christmas and Mickey's Speedway USA.)

Anselmo has also worked as a voice actor for the Kingdom Hearts series, which features Donald Duck as one of three main characters.

As an animator, Anselmo has worked on such Disney theatrical films as The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, and The Lion King. His last and most important assignment was as a lead animator on Tarzan. He also worked briefly as a character layout artist on The Simpsons in the early 1990s.

In September of 2009 Tony Anselmo will be named a Disney Legend [1].
