  • Trivia
    He states in "Animaniacs Live" in the special features of Volume 1 of the DVDs that for Wakko Warner he did a John Lennon voice, then when he saw the picture of Wakko and how small he was, he changed the voice by making it more high pitched, like a small John Lennon.
  • Quotes
    [on creating the voice of Wakko for Animaniacs (1993)] I at first did a John Lennon impression and then they showed me a picture and I saw that Wakko was kind of a little guy so I just made my voice a little smaller.
    • Voice of Wakko in Animaniacs (1993).
