Bluey voice actors: Who are the stars of the hit children’s TV show?
CHILDREN'S cartoon Bluey has captured the hearts of families all over the world thanks to its adorable characters.
The popular series centres around a pup called Bluey and her family as they go on make-believe adventures together.
Who is in the cast of Bluey?
Bluey and Bingo
The identities of the children who play Bluey and Bingo has never been revealed.
The show's creator Joe Brumm has previously revealed that the voices of the kids are played by those close to people who work for the show.
However, the kids aren’t credited on the show as their identities are kept secret to shield them from the public eye.
Joe added that Bluey is based on his own experiences raising two daughters.

Bluey explores everyday life and follows sisters, Bingo and Bluey spending a lot of their time having fun at home with their family.
Joe explained to : "Playing seems as natural to them as breathing.
“It’s fascinating seeing how much they learn from devising and playing their own games, especially the more elaborate and social ones.”
Bluey and Bingo's cousins, Muffin and Socks, are also voiced by unknown child actors.

Bandit Heeler
Popular character Bandit Heeler is voiced by musician David McCormack.
This was his first ever acting gig, having only ever worked in the music business before.
David revealed how the role doesn't always require a huge amount of acting, telling : "My secret weapon was when we started doing it I had daughters who were three and five, and maybe that's the approximate age of Bingo and Bluey.
"So they gave me the script and I'd read it and whatever was happening in the script probably happened to me that day or last week or that morning."
Chilli Heeler
Mum Chilli is voiced by Australian actress Melanie Zanetti.
Bluey was her big break, and she has since leant her voice to the hit movie Love And Monsters.
Melanie admitted that while she knew Bluey was special, she was not expecting it to become the global phenomenon that it is.
She told Jimmy Fallon on The Tonight Show: “I had no idea it was going to blow up the way it has.
“But I did know it was something really special when I first read and the pilot. It was like nothing I’d ever seen before.”
She added: “It’s so true to life.
“And I think parents look at it and say, this is my reality.”
Stripe
Bandit’s brother Stripe — who is also the father of Muffin and Socks — is played by series creator Joe’s brother, Dan Brumm.
He also works as a sound designer on Bluey and has a writing credit for the series as well.
Just like David, this is his first acting job.
Trixi
Stripe’s wife, and Muffin and Socks’ mum, Trixie, is played by Myf Warhurst.
She is an Australian TV and radio personality perhaps best known as a Team Leader on the long-running music-themed quiz show Spicks And Specks.
Myf also voices Indy’s hippie-ish mum on Bluey.
The rest of the Bluey cast includes:
- Chris - Bandit's mum is voiced by series creator Joe Brumm’s mother, also named Chris.
- Bob - Bandit's dad is voiced by Australian writer Ian McFadyen.
- Mort - Chilli's rarely seen dad is voiced by Laurie Newman.
- Calypso - Bluey's school leader is voiced by musician Meg Washington.
