His animation dub roles included Nanny on Count Duckula, Baron Greenback on Danger Mouse, Scuttle in Disney's The Little Mermaid, Alameda Slim in Home on the Range, and the Roman centurion in the Asterix films. For Pixar, Neugebauer voiced Mr. Potato Head in Toy Story and Toy Story 2, and John Ratzenberger's roles in The Incredibles (Underminer), Cars (Mack and others), and Ratatouille (Mustafa). As an on-camera actor, he appeared in the English-language film Code Name: Wild Geese and episodes of the German TV series Derrick.
