He only voiced Fat Tony the one time, since he already had a big role in the episode it probably wasn't hard to get him to do an extra role. I don't know why Fat Tony's own voice actor didn't do it.
I love the Plato Casino greeter at 4:36 I never knew he did a lot more in their early seasons before settling on Troy and Lionel in the mid 90s peak. Whenever he was on a Simpsons episode it's always a great laugh. God bless you Mr Hartman ❤️
9:00 oh *that's* why nelson's dad disappeared for so long. i didn't realise phil voiced him. also at 11:42 that sounds more like hank azaria doing something like his disco stu voice
11:42, it may just be my ears, but this sounds more like Hank Azaria to me, and he has filled in for guest star characters before, such as in ‘The Front’ where he voices Roger Meyers Jr. Compare Fat Tony’s voice here with Disco Stu who was introduced later on and was also played by Azaria and i think you would also hear a resemblance. However I’d appreciate any extra info on this.
Some of my other awesome commenters have pointed this out and I get where they’re coming from but Wikipedia, and both Simpsons fan wikis are adamant that’s Hartman. However if you listen to the Stockbroker and the other mobsters you kinda hear the vocal similarities to Hartmans Fat Tony. That being said I’m only human and Ive made mistakes before just check out my James Earl Jones video for example.
@@SpykeTheSU In my very limited experience i’ve come to learn that a lot of the time wiki pages (especially fan-wikis) tend to be home to info that’s been passed through around 5 sets of ears before being put on the page, so i generally trust my instincts on this one, however i’m inclined to look into this a bit further as if this potentially false credit has become so popular on fansites it must have started somewhere. Maybe someone figured since Hartman had a habit of playing 2 or 3 characters per episode he was in, and since Joe Mantegna was uncredited, two unrelated dots ended up being connected? That’s just my speculation. Having been a consistent viewer of the show for most of my life though i hope i don’t come off as bigheaded when i say i think i can recognise each main member of the voice cast and tell them apart. I don’t blame you for going with the one credit that’s listed in most places.
@thegoat5141 same. My earliest recollection of what a rerun is was sometime during the second or third season, where my older sisters failed to convince me that an episode I really desperately wanted to watch was one we all saw earlier in the week.
