Brilliant Disguise: How to Find Your Voice, with Hank Azaria

Just remember the five D's of dodgeball. Dodge, duck, dip, dive, and dodge. A cross between Rip Torn, who has owned Patches, and Clark Gable. That was the mashup there. But, you know, you're right. If I had become a more major movie star, I might not have done those things. I might not have because I would have been busy doing something else. It's like, no, I can't take a small role like that.

And I really kind of love it. Of course, I have my day job, which pays me so well that I don't, you know, I can do that.

It's both. It started out as pure mimicry with a deep love of what I was imitating. I was really raised by the television set. And so, in a way, it was a way to keep my best friends with me. You know, my love of sports became, because the guys who announced the game, you know, were like my uncles. Nobody else was spending that kind of time with me.

Nobody else was describing to me what the hell was going on at the Mets game. And I really appreciated those guys. And that became Jim Brockmire eventually. My wife, Lucy...

So it started out as a mimicry.

His ability to take a weird voice like that, a silly voice, but give it unbelievable humanity and specificity, physically and otherwise... Really, I don't think I've ever achieved what the level of Peter Sellers, but that's what I'm always shooting at. Like, can I take a voice and then fill it in?
