Burtonverse Cast Of Characters

My list of favorite Burtonverse actors and the characters they play.
Sort by: Showing 23 items
Rating: List Type:
If you ask me what role of hers most Burton fans know of the most, it's Lydia - but Lydia, Kim, and Elsa Van Helsing are the three most well known Burtonverse female characters she has been.
The speaking voice of Jack Skellington, and he does a terrific job of voicing him. Jack Skellington really is an interesting creation.
Katrina Van Tassell in Sleepy Hollow.
With apologizes to Christopher Nolan and the late Heath Ledger, i'd like to say that I think Nicholson's take on the Joker is the best, well next to Mark Hamil in the animated series. Jack gave us a fun and sadistic joker with plenty of twisted humor thrown in.
Burton's first girlfriend, and she had been featured in quite a few Burton films prior to the late 2000's.
Having been in Beetlejuice, Ed Wood and Sleepy Hollow - Jeffrey is one of many Burtonverse cast members who is known for making memorable appearances.
Do I really need to say anything about Christopher Lee? He's a horror movie legend and his appearances in Burton films are rather impressive.
Lady Van Tassell in Sleepy Hollow.
Delia in Beetlejuice, Sally in Nightmare Before Christmas, and also Weird Girl in Frankenweenie.
I love his take on the Cheshire Cat, it's very calm and also quite unique.
If I listed my favorite Johnny Depp roles in the Burtonverse I would be here all night.
A very close friend of Burton's in real life as well, plus you can't forget him as Otho in Beetlejuice, well both that and him as the voice of Mayor in Nightmare Before Christmas.
With apologizes to Anne Hathaway, Michelle Pfeiffer totally rules as the fiesty feline fatale known as Catwoman.
The narrator in Vincent and the kindly old inventor in Edward Scissorhands, the science teacher in Frankenweenie is also based on him.
Ozwald Cobblepot/Penguin, also Rude Gambler in Mars Attacks and the Ringmaster in Big Fish.
Oogie Boogie. Nuff said.
Beetlejuice: This ghost is hillarious and always a blast to watch on screen. His powers are amazing.
Bruce Wayne/Batman: With apologies to Christian 'If I Talk Like Sly Stallone It Will Make Me Sound Badass' Bale, Michael Keaton is the best live action Batman in my opinion.
Judge Turpin, and the voice of the Caterpillar.
Sparky the frankendog in Frankenweenie and the aliens in Mars Attacks.
Max Shreck: Originally it was supposed to be Harvey Dent, but we all know what happened to that, don't we? But we do have a Christopher Walken performance here. Would you believe that the reason Tim Burton was reluctant to cast Walken was because apparently Walken scares him? Walken must be doing a terrific job of it then. Burton was just lucky Walken was in Pre-Hessian mode that day.

Hessian: There's a lot to admire about this character..he's animalistic yet powerful, he's bloodthirsty but badass...he's Christopher Walken with sharp teeth. He's fierce, strong and doesn't let anyone get in the way of what he wants.
Pee Wee Herman is a very enjoyable character, he's very child-like but in a good way and is a brilliant inventor - I love all the contraptions in his house.
Singing voice of Jack Skellington as well as musical composer for several Burton films.
Like with Johnny Depp, if I went through all of the parts Helena has played in the Burtonverse it would need to be a whole separate list.
