For the roles of dogs, the filmmakers deliberately cast actors with deeper voices than their human owners, so they had more power. [33] Rod Taylor, who had extensive radio experience, was one of the first performers cast in the film. [10] J. Pat O'Malley was a regular voice actor for the Disney studio, having previously voiced several characters in both The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad (1949) and Alice in Wonderland (1951), and was one of Walt Disney's personal favorites. [10] Betty Lou Gerson, who was previously the narrator for Cinderella (1950), auditioned for the role of Cruella de Vil in front of Marc Davis, the character's supervising animator, and sequence director Wolfgang Reitherman, and immediately landed it. [34] While searching for the right accent of the character, she landed on a "phony theatrical voice, someone who's set sail from New York but hasn't quite reached England". [35] During the recording process, Gerson was thought to be imitating Tallulah Bankhead, [36] but she later disputed that she "didn't intentionally imitate her… We both had phony English accents on top of our Southern accents and a great deal of flair. So our voices came out that way". [37] Gerson finished her recording sessions in fourteen days. [34] Lisa Daniels was originally cast in the role of Perdita and recorded about the third of her lines but then got married and moved to New York, with Bauer replacing her for the rest of the film. [10] David Frankham was cast as Sergeant Tibbs in the spring of 1959 and finished his recording within three sessions. [38] Disney originally had Lisa Davis read for the role of Cruella De Vil, but she did not think that she was right for the part, and wanted to try reading the role of Anita instead. [39] Disney agreed, and, after they read the script for a second time, she landed the part. [40] Davis also provided some of live-action reference for the character. [41] For the roles of dogs, the filmmakers deliberately cast actors with deeper voices than their human owners, so they had more power. [33] Live-action reference [ edit ] Dalmatian Street is the second TV series with a plot in the 21st century, with a new art style and a concept loosely based on the source material. Set 60 years after the original animated film, the show focuses on Dylan and Dolly, (who are both descendants of Pongo and Perdita) caring for their 97 younger siblings who all live without a human in Camden Town.In " The Mouse Who Came to Dinner", Goofy demanded that the magic brooms ensure that the club was "spotless" in time for a critic's arrival, resulting in the brooms wiping away the spots of Pongo and the other Dalmatians.

In the live-action spin-off film, Pongo has a cameo appearance in the post-credits scene. He is a small Dalmatian puppy gifted to a disgraced Roger Radcliffe as a gift from Cruella De Vil. The card Cruella attaches reveals the Dalmatian's name, Pongo, and a promise to see them both soon. In the animated film version, Pongo wears a red collar and Perdita wears a blue collar. But in the live-action version, it's the other way around. Rod Taylor as Pongo, Roger's playful and headstrong pet Dalmatian, Perdita's mate, the father of fifteen, and adopted father of the eighty-four orphaned puppies. He also serves as the film's narrator. After his marriage, he is shown to be a kind man who cares for his family, including his pets. Roger is not afraid to stand up against Cruella when his family is involved. A scene near the end of the film shows that he is good at mental math, as he is able to tally up the number of Dalmatians fairly easily. Cruella De Vil! Cruella De Vil! If she doesn't scare you, no evil thing will!” ―Roger sassing Cruella in songIn both the 1996 live-action film and 101 Dalmatians: The Series, Roger is shown to be a fan of baseball, with his favorite team being the Biddleburg Bivels in Dalmatian Vacation, while a Los Angeles Dodgers cap can seen in his office in the live-action film.

He is the Baroness' personal and clumsy lawyer who is berated by her in the first half of the film. She mentions that he has a side job as a piano player in a bar. When Cruella's schemes become too much, the Baroness angrily fires Roger. Cruella explains in narration that he always blamed her for this. At the end of the movie, Roger receives a gift from Cruella in the form of a Dalmatian puppy named Pongo; possibly intended as an apology for getting him fired. Inspired by her name, he proceeds to write and perform her famous song.
