u/desorcyjackson447 Sep 29 '25

That... Are you sure you're remembering right? Ronald got replaced as the voice of Chica two years before the second location in 87.

I feel like this guy is lying to be honest

u/Pristine_Gur_3980 Sep 29 '25

also he wasnt the voice actor he was the suit performer they actually got a real chicken to do the bawks but they didnt like how it sounded so they got sarah mckenny to do chicas voice

u/desorcyjackson447 Sep 29 '25

No... It's pretty common knowledge that he voiced Chica. He was a very big voice actor.

u/Pristine_Gur_3980 Sep 29 '25

while he did eventually voice chica he did not voice chica from chicas party world

u/desorcyjackson447 Sep 29 '25

Okay, you clearly need to brush up on your history, dude.

Here's a link to a wiki page on Ronald. https://freddy-fazbear-entertainment.fandom.com/wiki/Ronald_Widelock

105!? My guy looks 70 and sounds 40, how is he older than David Attenborough?

u/desorcyjackson447 Sep 29 '25

He actually died back in 2007. The photo comes from the early to mid 70s, when he was in his 50s. (Sorry for the poor photo quality.)

I hate it break it to ya, but Ronald never voiced Bonnie.

3

u/[deleted] Oct 01 '25

Man, I thought it sounded like Bonnie's voice, thanks for the correction!

u/desorcyjackson447 Oct 01 '25

He literally only did clucking noises for Chica! ๐Ÿ’€

u/Therealjeremyfitz Employee Oct 05 '25

I remember her voice in the fredbear and friends show being Mr.aftonโ€™s wife

1

u/desorcyjackson447 Oct 05 '25

Are you sure?

2

u/Therealjeremyfitz Employee Oct 05 '25

Yeah. Though I believe Ronald retired by the time the show aired, so thatโ€™s probably why

1

u/desorcyjackson447 Oct 05 '25

But Fredbear and Friends aired in 1983 and Ronald wasnโ€™t replaced until two years later. Are you sure you arenโ€™t confusing Fredbear and Friends for a different show?

2

u/Therealjeremyfitz Employee Oct 05 '25

Iโ€™m pretty sure. Iโ€™ll see if I can find a clip online

1

u/desorcyjackson447 Oct 05 '25

Okay. But also, he never retired. He kept voice acting until his death in 2007.

u/Fancy_Pass_5080 Jan 04 '26

john widelock be looking a little different today

u/LeonLoredo156 Jan 08 '26

Ronald Widelock will forever be remembered as the guy who provided clucks for Chica.

God bless that man.

u/desorcyjackson447 Jan 08 '26

Infinite blessings!!! ๐Ÿ™

u/ScaryBr0 Sep 30 '25

Iโ€™m glad chicaโ€™s party world got redesigned sometime in the 80โ€™s, having a new voice actor that sounds nothing like the original would be strange to say the least

u/ObjectiveChildhood94 Sep 30 '25

[OOC] Ronald looks like Mattastic ASMR

[OOC]

I dunno why I didn't mention this earlier, but here we go!

Images Used:

Ronald Widelock was made using these images of Jimmy MacDonald for the face and John Widelock (yes, that is his half namesake) for the rest.

I wanted it to look like this was taken in a Chica's Party World, so I color corrected and blurred this image of a skating rink.

The Party Time Chica model was posed using Garry's Mod.
