Character
Fry
Fry in Futurama (1999), played by Billy West.
Philip J. Fry is a slacker pizza delivery boy in 1999 who falls into a cryogenic tube and wakes up a thousand years later with no skills, no family, and no idea how anything works. He's cheerful, dim, impulsive, and instantly smitten with Leela, thrilled mostly that the future has hoverboards and robots.
Billy West gives him a goofy, guileless voice that makes his dumbness endearing rather than grating, and the writing uses him as our stand-in for wonder at the absurd future while never letting him get too competent to be funny. Underneath the slapstick sits real, unforced sweetness about being unmoored and starting over.
Philip Jabecca Fry (born August 14, 1974 - January 1, 2000; thawed on December 31, 2999), better known as Fry, is the main protagonist of the animated sitcom Futurama. Fry was a native to the 20th century who was cryogenically frozen seconds into the year 2000, having fallen in just as 1999 ended. He was revived in 2999 and subsequently became a Delivery boy for the Planet Express Company.
