Peter Robbins “Charlie Brown”

There is no debating the fact that Robbins’s big break came when he landed the job of voicing Charlie Brown. In total, Robbins voiced the famed character in one television documentary, six Peanuts television specials, and one movie between the years 1963 and 1969.

Notably, Robbins voiced Carlie Brown in the highly-thought-of television specials A Charlie Brown Christmas and It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown.

Meanwhile, the feature-length musical comedy-drama film, titled A Boy Named Charlie Brown, came out in 1963 when Robbins was 13. Impressively, the movie raked in $12 million at the box office.

When Robbins was 14, the show’s brass decided to move off of Robbins, replacing him with younger talent. His trademark scream of “AUGH!!” continued to be used throughout the series. In the end, he was nominated for four Grammy Awards, all for Best Recording for Children.
