[When asked who was his biggest influence] The first one of course would have to be probably Mel Blanc because I loved cartoons as a kid as we all did. Mel I think set the standard. Mel and Frank Welker, as far as I'm concerned, are the two best who've ever walked the face of the earth with respect to voice acting. Show less «

Just because there are celebrities in a movie, it doesn't mean anything. I don't think The Ant Bully (2006) did all that well the first week at the box office. Compare the movies that have a lot of celebrities with the Jimmy Neutron movie, which had no celebrity voices and grossed almost one hundred million dollars. Show less «

It's a treat to portray a complex character. Besides... where else could I find a job where emotional outbursts and odd exclamations like 'Egad!', 'Narf!', 'Poit!', 'Splonk!' and 'Zort!' are allowed? Show less «

I wish I had a nickel for every time I've sang "Yakko's World".
