    It's so uncanny how his Futurama work is so diverse! I knew he voiced those characters, but I never truly believed it until I saw this video-they all sound so drastically different, don't they? What a talent! :)

      @Andrew Johnston, and before all this, Billy West was part of the Howard Stern Radio Show until he left and found big success. To this day, Howard and Billy don't talk because he thinks he created Billy with all the talented voiceover work he used to do, so that's why Billy never talks about that part.. =(

    Haha wow, the Futurama ones were epic! Never really was into that Doug show, or Ren and Stimpy. Billy West... I wonder if there's any relation to Adam West? I might also add, does anyone see some resemblance between him and Christopher Walken? If it turned out they were cousins, I don't think I'd be surprised, for some reason I see a lot of similarity between them. Definitely in the eyes and cheek bones, and as creepy as it might sound, also in the lips I think. Might be less weird to say 'mouth' rather than 'lips'.
