Donatello (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, 2003)

Donatello is voiced by Sam Riegel in this incarnation for the 2003 TV series. Known as "Don", he is the smartest and most technologically-adept Turtle. His personality is still the traditional techno turtle like most incarnations but unlike most of the Donatello incarnations, he is the most passive and is rarely aggressive. His trademark Bō staff was once again his primary weapon, but he has used other weapons such as laser guns and those of his brothers.
