About Arnold Shortman

Arnold Shortman, voiced by various American actors such as Phillip Van Dyke and Toran Caudell, is the main protagonist in a well-received 1996 animated TV series Hey Arnold! based on the comic with the same name that was first published in 1991, the show which follows Arnold’s everyday life in a multi-racial boarding house with his grandparents and a diverse group of neighbors and friends.

Arnold is calm, nice, kind, optimistic, as well as idealistic which granted him a natural gift for giving advice and guidance to both kids and adults.

Also, Arnold is quite an upbeat and smart boy who always sees the best in people despite how unkind or sneaky some of them may be.
