A ‘Futurama’ Voice Actor’s L.A. Home Lists for $2 Million

Voice actor John DiMaggio has decided to part ways with his Los Angeles home after 13 years of ownership. The entertainment industry veteran—best known for portraying the beloved yet foul-mouthed, human-hating robot Bender in the animated sci-fi comedy series Futurama—has stuck a nearly $2 million price tag on the Bauhaus-style digs, which are tucked away in the foothills of Studio City. Adara Salim of the Beverly Hills Estates holds the listing.

Designed by modernist architect John Bleser in the late 1970s and purchased by DiMaggio and his actress wife Kate Miller back in spring 2012 for around $900,000, the dark gray stucco structure has three bedrooms and an equal number of baths in roughly 2,700 square feet across three levels. As first reported by the New York Post, the open-concept interiors boast carefully preserved original detailing alongside recent modern updates.

Tucked away on a cul-de-sac parcel spanning less than a quarter of an acre, the house is highlighted by a spacious fireside great room sporting a bar with a built-in beverage cooler and large sliding glass doors opening out to a terrace overlooking a custom river-inspired waterfall. The bottom floor also hosts a media nook, as well as a bonus space that’s currently set up as a studio/office but could easily be converted into a fourth bedroom.

Up one level is a conservatory with double-height windows and a glass ceiling, plus a combined living and dining area that connects to a kitchen outfitted with LG and Viking appliances, a breakfast bar, a sink topped by a greenhouse window, and access to a deck warmed by a fire pit. All of the bedrooms can be found on the top floor, including a primary suite that comes with a large glass-front fireplace surrounded by black subway tile, a private balcony, and a luxe bath equipped with dual vanities and a frameless shower.

DiMaggio’s face may not be familiar to the general public, but you’ve almost certainly heard his voice at some point. As the actor behind numerous characters and “one of the finest exponents of the genre,” per Cultured Vultures, he’s starred in numerous animated series, films, and video games. In addition to Bender Bending Rodríguez, some of his most notable characters include Jake the Dog in Adventure Time, King Zøg in Disenchantment, and Marcus Fenix in the Gears of War franchise.

The couple, who recently sold a Palm Springs home they’ve owned for 11 years, spend summers in the Hamptons and continue to maintain a home in Manhattan’s West Village. While they are trying to decide where they will permanently lay down roots, however, their L.A. home still holds a special place. “It’s the house we bought when we first got married,” DiMaggio told the Post. “So there’s a lot of nostalgia attached to it.”
