Four pizza-loving, high-kicking heroes in half shells defend Earth from evil aliens known as the Krang in Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Movie. Meet the cast behind the reptilian warriors in this new action-packed animated film.
Ben Schwartz is the voice of Leonardo, the cool and charismatic bad boy of the group. Leonardo likes to do things his own way, which often ruffles the feathers of his older brother and the group leader, Raphael. He wields two katanas and the mystical power to teleport himself and others.
Schwartz also voiced Leonardo in the Nickelodeon animated series Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. You may recognize Schwartz as the outrageously annoying Jean-Ralphio Saperstein in the NBC comedy series Parks and Recreation. He also stars in several Netflix productions, including the comedy series Space Force, the romantic comedy Happy Anniversary and the improv comedy special Middleditch and Schwartz. Schwartz won an Emmy in 2009 for penning the lyrics to Hugh Jackman’s musical number at the 81st Academy Awards and has been nominated for two other Emmys for his comedic acting and writing.

Miller provided the voice for Raphael in the Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles series. He starred as crime scene investigator Walter Simmons on the CBS crime drama series CSI: Miami and as the ex-football player Charles Greane on the HBO comedy-drama series Ballers.

Brener voiced Donatello in the Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles series. He played the unwittingly successful programmer, Nelson “Big Head” Bighetti, on the HBO comedy series Silicon Valley and Kyle on the IFC sitcom Maron.
