Tactillan

Tactillan is one of the many faces and voices Billy West drops into the crowded corners of Futurama's universe — a minor presence in the show's sprawling future New New York, the kind of character who exists for a scene or a joke rather than a season-long arc.

What makes even a fleeting Futurama character worth a second look is the craft behind the voice: Billy West's ability to disappear into a completely different register, texture, and rhythm from Fry or Farnsworth. The pleasure is in spotting the seams — hearing how much range one performer packs into a throwaway role.
