Garfield: Every Actor Who Has Played Jon

Over the years of Garfields existence, the character of Jon has gone through multiple iterations. First appearing in the Garfield comic strip, Jon Arbuckle is the bumbling owner of the titular cat. Throughout the series, Jon moans and groans as his lasagna-loving, lazy feline gets into various antics, all the while adoring the cat despite himself. In adaptations, Jon has gotten screen time through multiple projects. His appearances began in a 1980 episode of The Fantastic Funnies

, which marked the first television appearance of Garfield. As in the case of the cat protagonist, Jon continued to appear in Garfield specials throughout the 1980s and in television series such as Garfield and Friends and The Garfield Show.
