[edit] Treehouse of Horror XVII
His Orson Welles voiceover should be added to 2006 credits —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.113.70.68 (talk) 19:12, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Personal Website?
Does this god amongst voice actors have a site of his own?
[edit] 'God'
Maurice didn't play God in Futurama. I'm certain that was Billy West. It's a frequent point of reference on his forum.
[edit] Harold Ramis
Okay, Cyrius, can we agree (as I think is the case) that Egon Spengler is the character and that Harold Ramis was the actor who played him in the movies and that Maurice LaMarche voiced the Spengler character for the cartoons?
Here are the chick and egg questions, and my suggested answers. (1) Did Ramis invent a Spengler 'voice' for the movie(s)? No, he used his own. (2) Did LaMarche invent a Spengler 'voice' for the cartoons? No, he copied Ramis' voice from the movie(s).
In which case, what's the issue with crediting LaMarche's copying of a Ramis(Spengler) voice for the cartoon? Or have I got it all wrong? Peter Ellis 01:10, 7 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- I suppose it's a matter of interpretation. I wouldn't object so much if it didn't overcomplicate an already nastily structured sentence. -- Cyrius|✎ 06:21, 7 Feb 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Luigi
Inconsistency: LaMarche is listed here as portraying Luigi in Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time, however, on that WP entry, it lists Charles Martinet (much more likely to be correct, mind you) as portraying all of Mario, Luigi, and both Baby counterparts.
[edit] Transformers
I took out that section about Transformers. He was not a regular cast member on Transformers, he only appeared in one episode and had only a few lines at that.
[edit] Add Personal Life?
Should we add a subject to his personal life such as meeting the Dali Lama? I just read someting about him at The Internet Movie Database. [1]
[edit] Super Mario Bros. Super Show
Didn't LaMarche have a rare live-action guest starring appearance on the Super Mario Bros. Super Show?
[edit] More recent photo needed!
Judging from the haircut and tie, I would say this photo was taken in the early 80s. How about something from this century? --68.103.154.140 04:21, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
- Well there's one used on the Pinky and the Brain page... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Annie_Awards_Rob_paulsen_and_maurice_lamarche.jpg —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.211.142.87 (talk) 13:17, 15 October 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Link to pinky and the brain wrong
the brain link takes the user to the wiki on the The Human Brain, not the show, is it worth changing to the tv show?Jackacon 09:42, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
- The Brain does not have his own page. I have corrected the link to direct users to the Pinky and the Brain page section on the character. If the article is ever split off hopefully someone will come fix the link. Stardust8212 15:34, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Principal Pixiefrog in My Gym Partner's a Monkey
LaMarche's voice of Principal Pixiefrog in My Gym Partner's a Monkey seems based on someone familiar, perhaps a character actor of the 1950's or 60's. Can anyone say who that might be? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 66.177.58.199 (talk) 00:15, 12 January 2007 (UTC).
[edit] Orson Welles voice on Futurama
On Futurama Maurice LaMarche voices one of Mom's sons, Walt. The voice of Walt is almost identical to LaMarche's other voice, Brain. Brain's voice was modeled after Orson Welles. Chickenmonkey 04:33, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
- Upon further inspection, the character of Walt is said to be a Vincent Price impression (which makes sense as Brain is said to be a mixture of Orson Welles and Vincent Price). Chickenmonkey 12:45, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Sylar?
Anyone care to explain why Sylar on Heroes is listed as one of his roles? 69.19.14.35 18:33, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
- I may be incorrect but I think in the first episode where only Sylar's voice is heard it is Maurice LaMarche, or that's what I read somewhere, I may try to track down a source for that bit later. The regular actor was cast later in production. Stardust8212 20:18, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
[edit] This is all wrong
David Hyde Pierce played Niles Crane, not Maurice LaMarche. The wikipedia biographies for both actors are exaclty the same. It's ALL WRONG. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.17.211.125 (talk) 03:20, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
