I like Brad Garrett,not only for his acting work on Everybody Loves Raymond,but firstly as Hulk Hogan(as I remember him).I'm happy to see his talents are being put to good use.Thanks Xerus,good choice this week.

Wow! I never realized Brad Garret did so much voice-over work. I mean, I know he's done some, but not that much. Brad Garret's awesome!

 

[The Count]

Heh... Don't forget he's also starring in his new series on Fox, Till Death.

Also... It's been announced that Brad Garrett will voice the main villain or heavy in Pixar's 8th CGI animated movie titled Ratatouille. He's a sort of French restaurant kitchen worker who has to get rid of the rats (heroes) pestering him in the culinary sanctuary.

Good premise... But I'm not sure I'm that enthused about it as the concept seems to me as a rat-based variant of Garfield's birth story.
Oh well... Have a good night guys and gals.

I love him too. *gets looks from everyone* NOT THAT WAY! LOL (sorry couldn't resist) I'm a big fan of his voice over work. I've alway loved his how he can do that voice. It's pretty neat. One of my favorites is "2 Stupid Dogs" and a couple of months ago when I was watching if I never did recall he did the voice until I read the voice credit. All these years and never did know that. Shame on me. He's a pretty cool guy. Would love to meet him.

 

[Ilikemuppets]

WOW, I'm with bear. I never realied he did so much voice work before. And on so many things that I've watched before, too (The most ovious being Big dog from two stupid dogs). What an amazing talent he is.

Here's a couple of credits Xerus missed...

1. In William Hanna's first solo animated short film Hard Luck Duck, Brad voiced Hard Luck's aligator guardian Harley Gator.
2. Brad has done various voices on Recess the series.

I REALLY REALLY wish that Brad Garrett would go back to cartoon voice work. That new show he's in is just a poor imitation of King of Queens. It's by the same company, same writers, and the dialogue is pretty interchangable. Brad is a GREAT voice actor, and perfect for animation. I really wish he didn't quit his role as Strepfinger on Ozzy and Drix.

I always found it funny, how he was on Raymond with Peter Boyle. I mean, they BOTH played a Frankenstine in their careers. (Peter's was in Young Frankenstine, Brad's was Phil in Toonsylvania).

Oh yeah. I forgot about Hardluck Duck. It seemed like a copy of Yakky Doodle.

And I wonder which characters Brad's done on Recess? I don't watch that show much.
