Elastic voiced actor Hank Azaria, responsible for Chief Wiggam, The Comic Book Guy and a host of other iconic Simpson's voices, dished a bit of dirt on the air.
Page Six reports that according to Azaria, "The Simpsons" stopped using "Star Trek" castmember George Takei (Sulu) to do voiceovers because he "creeped out the staff" and kept calling one of the interns "sweetie."
Azaria voices Moe the bartender, Apu the Kwik-E-Mart owner, Professor Frink, Dr. Nick Riviera too.
Speaking as a guest on "LateNet with Ray Ellin," the new Internet talk show via PalTalk, Azaria mused on what happens to "many, many" supporting Simpsons characters, including Old Sea Captain and Lenny and Carl: "They start out delightfully wacky and then they get really stupid - and then they turn gay."
