      Moe is my favorite of his characters, and Snake my least, but I hear more Snake than anything else...and no one else brings up Prof Frink? Because I hear a neutral natural speaking voice that lapses into Snake a lot, but when his voice goes higher or narrower (which is reasonably often), I hear Frink.

      Yep. If you spend decades working on your demeanor, your vocal tone, body language, etc etc, you will appear to be a lovely guy too. It is really easy if you are a trained actor (and have editing rights over your interview, know the questions in advance, etc). Not at all a good indication of what they are like in real life. Not throwing shade at Hank, but people stop thinking actors are “not acting” when they are in front of a camera and lights and wearing makeup for an interview

Something like that. If he could push people's careers he certainly could stifle them too. Jennifer Lawrence got famous under Weinstein because she can't feel disgust and has no gag-reflex.

If there is nothing wrong with Apu he shouldn't have to "evolve". As far as I'm concerned that's your admission that the character is out of step. Besides, cartoon archetypes don't evolve. Bugs Bunny, Homer and Fred Flintstone aren't made to evolove. Cartoon characters are either good and stay classics or bad and go away. Apu only stayed in the pop culture on the back of the Simpsons universe as a whole. And there is no need to campaign against Simpsons characters like Willy. Most people know that show is past its prime and usefulness and has nothing new to say. Nice that you got offended based on my one sentence comment, though.

    The guy Hank replaced as Moe was Christopher Collins, aka Chris Latta, who was the voice of Cobra Commander on GI Joe and Starscream, Wheeljack, and Sparkplug on Transformers. I didn't know why he was replaced on The Simpsons until I saw this video today. He had some drug problems and died in the early 1990s.

I never looked down on him, i never thought "oh he just runs the Qwiky-Mart". I never thought he was stupid or anything negative. He was a real person.

Does the voice actor have to match the chracter 100%? Gender, race, nationality, age, fitness, religion? Where do you draw the line?
