Scott Menville works on versatility rather than volume, and the catalogue keeps proving that the quieter choice was the correct one.
The essay
Our editors on the work, the patterns and the reason this body of work holds together.
Scott Menville appears in 44 films in the Nutevio catalogue, and none of them would work the same way without Scott. Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse is the clearest case: a film rated 8.7 by our editors, where the performance carries weight the script only implies.
The recognisable elements are versatility, transformation, comedy. Watch two of these films back to back and the method separates from the material — the same instrument, tuned differently for comedy, adventure, family. It is a style built on what is withheld as much as what is played.
Working with Andrew Stanton, Aaron Horvath, Peter Hastings and others, Scott Menville helped set a standard other performers now audition against. Awards bodies have been slower than the work, which is usually the sign of a career built on choices rather than campaigns.

A quieter influence — felt inside the films rather than across the industry.
How far the work travelled past the people who saw it first.
What survives once the release-week conversation has burned off.

The defining work
#1
Additional Voices (voice)
Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse (2018)
Performance score8.4
The performance the rest of the career is read through. Additional Voices (voice) gives Scott Menville a structure to work against, and the film hands over its centre of gravity without hesitation.
View movie#2
Additional Voices (voice)
The Super Mario Galaxy Movie (2026)
Performance score8.0
The Super Mario Galaxy Movie asks for something the previous films did not, and gets it. Additional Voices (voice) is played without a single line of pleading for the audience's sympathy — which is exactly why it lands.

Teen Titans Go! vs. Teen Titans asks for something the previous films did not, and gets it. Robin (voice) is played without a single line of pleading for the audience's sympathy — which is exactly why it lands.

A guided path through the work, ordered so each film explains the next.
Best entry point
as Additional Voices (voice)
Start here. Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse is the clearest statement of what Scott Menville does — accessible, 117 minutes, and rated 8.7 by our editors. No context required.
Our editors order this path by accessibility first and chronology second. You meet Scott at the most legible performance, then move forward in time so each film reads as a response to the one before it rather than a repetition of it.
Teen Titans Go! To the Movies (2018)
Keeps the action register of Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse but asks for a colder reading of it.
Teen Titans Go! vs. Teen Titans (2019)
Keeps the action register of Teen Titans Go! To the Movies but asks for a colder reading of it.
The Super Mario Bros. Movie (2023)
Keeps the comedy register of Teen Titans Go! vs. Teen Titans but asks for a colder reading of it.
The Super Mario Galaxy Movie (2026)
Same director as The Super Mario Bros. Movie, different problem to solve. Watching them in order shows how much of the effect was the collaboration.

Categories of our own
Six editorial categories we apply to every performer we cover.
Most rewatchable
Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse
as Additional Voices (voice)
The one that survives a fourth viewing. Nothing in the performance depends on surprise, which is why it keeps paying out.
Most emotional performance
Frozen
as Additional Voices (voice)
Grief played at conversational volume. The film never asks the audience to cry; the performance simply makes it difficult not to.
Most influential performance
Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse
as Additional Voices (voice)
You can hear this reading in other actors' auditions a decade later — the surest measure of influence there is.
Best ensemble performance
Leo
as Additional Voices (voice)
Work that makes everyone else in the frame better without ever pulling the camera towards itself.
Career defining performance
Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse
as Additional Voices (voice)
If the career had to be argued in a single scene, our editors would pick one from this film and rest the case.
In their films' words
“You can build a whole film around a performer who knows when not to speak. Scott Menville has known it for a long time.”
Head to head

Ours alone
Recognitions handed out by this desk, on criteria no awards body uses.
Career Achievement
Awarded
22 years of relevant work — not merely a long career, but a long career of choices.
Modern Classic Performer
Awarded
Defining performances delivered inside the last twenty-five years, in films already being taught rather than merely remembered.
Animation Legend
Awarded
40 catalogue titles in animation, each one a reference point for the films that followed.
Our desk
Best ending, best opening, best twist and the rest — categories we apply to everyone we cover.
Best ending
Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse
as Additional Voices (voice)
The last five minutes reorganise everything before them, and hold up when you already know what's coming.
Best opening
Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse
as Additional Voices (voice)
A first sequence that states the rules of the film without explaining a single one of them.
Most emotional
Thelma the Unicorn
as Raccoon (voice)
The film where the technique steps aside and lets the feeling arrive undefended.
Best twist
Missing
as Customer Service Rep (voice)
A reversal earned by information the film gave you and trusted you to misread.
Best visual achievement
Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse
as Additional Voices (voice)
Images that would survive with the sound switched off.
Best action sequence
Dog Man
as 3D Guy (voice)
Geography, stakes and consequence held in the same frame — spectacle you can follow.
Best dialogue
The Super Mario Bros. Movie
as Koopa General (voice)
Lines written to be spoken, staged so the pauses do half the work.
Most underrated film
Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse
as Additional Voices (voice)
The public vote sits below ours on this one, and the direction is the reason for the gap.
