Biography

Hank Azaria, a renowned American comedian and multifaceted actor, hails from the iconic borough of Queens, New York. Throughout his illustrious career, he has garnered widespread recognition for his impressive vocal range, bringing to life a plethora of memorable characters in the beloved animated television series, The Simpsons.

Among his most notable and iconic roles, Azaria has masterfully voiced the endearing and enigmatic Apu, the lovably gruff Chief Wiggum, the cantankerous and witty Moe, the eccentric and charming Bumblebee Man, the lovable but slightly dim-witted Lou, and the authoritative and bemused Superintendent Chalmers.

One of his most memorable and iconic roles, Superintendent Chalmers, has become an integral part of pop culture, particularly due to the infamous and hilarious "Steamed Hams" scene, which has left an indelible mark on the world of animation and comedy.

In addition to his impressive work in The Simpsons, Azaria has also demonstrated his versatility as an actor by appearing in a wide range of films, including the sci-fi epic Godzilla, the beloved animated franchise The Smurfs, and the offbeat comedy Mystery Men.
