Mike Judge has been behind an absurd number of iconic comedies, including movies like Idiocracy and shows such as Beavis and Butt-head and Silicon Valley. Despite the litany of classics, his most beloved series might be King of the Hill, an animated sitcom that ran for 258 episodes across 13 seasons before ending in 2010.

The show's voices are unforgettable, with Judge himself behind a few of them alongside a talented ensemble of famous and not-quite-as-famous performers voicing the likes of Peggy Hill, Luanne Platter, Bill Dauterive, and more — it's no wonder this two-time Emmy Award-winning show was such a hit.

Here's a look at King of the Hill's biggest characters and the real-life actors who voiced them.
