Darbois is especially active as a character voice in animation and video games, dubbing Batman on Batman: The Animated Series and related projects, the Genie in Aladdin and sequels, Darkseid on Superfriends, Oogie Boogie in The Nightmare Before Christmas, Baby Herman in Who Framed Roger Rabbit, Rasputin in Anastasia, Buzz Lightyear in the Toy Story movies, and Russ Cargill in The Simpsons Movie. For video games, he dubbed Count Nefarius in Toonstruck and reprised his Disney roles (and added new ones) in the Kingdom Hearts series.
