    He was also on the greatest show of all time called “Mr. Show with Bob and David”. And went on to become an absolute legendary voice actor. His imdb page is absolutely insane.

      I’ve been needing to watch that, I’ll move it up the list.

      Honestly so is that of the guy who did Rocco. Whose credits include among other things the Taco Bell dog and Spyro the Dragon.

        Carlos Alquazari definitely did a lot more things, like reno 911. Hillenbrand was a creative executive on Rocco and went of to create spongebob. And, yes, go immediately and watch mr show. It’s not just me saying it, its sooooo many comedians favorite comedy ever. Groundbreaking in so many ways.

        Oddly enough, he only voiced Spyro once or twice and Tom Kenny ended up doing the remake and a couple games. Spyro has had way too many different VAs, lol.

        Just seconding that mr show is amazing. Honestly every episode always has at least one great sketch and the way they run into each other is very fever dreamesque (in a good way). Like there usually isn’t a clean cut between one sketch to another, they kind of just flow but the things linking them are usually odd - like it’ll be at the end of a sketch and zoom in on a tv in the background and that leads to the next sketch. Variations of that sort of thing.

        Rockos modern life was such a banger show too. I’m an almost 40 year old guy and I still occasionally watch episodes of Rocko or a courage the cowardly dog when I need that nostalgia hit.
