I was watching The Birdcage and I went to look up info on Hank Azaria (I learned something new: Ladino) and found this interview with Simon Pegg:
Q. Did you know David [Schwimmer] first from Band Of Brothers?
Simon Pegg: Yes, but he didn’t talk to me back then! I played his sergeant. But Band of Brothers was great because it was like all the actors in the UK between the ages of 18 and 30 all pretending to be soldiers. You could smell the testosterone in the air!
Q. What was it like working with Hank Azaria?
Simon Pegg: He’s incredibly funny. My time with Hank was just spent…. because we’re both comedy geeks. We’re both big fans of comedy so it was kind of like Python quotes and stuff. He’s a massive Python fan and he took me to see Spamalot on our first night out together. And because I’m a huge Simpsons fan he’d just do Simpsons voices for me like that! He had no problems, he wasn’t like: “I can’t do that, I’m not a performing monkey!” He’d just go bang into it to the point where he would just go [mimics a Simpsons voice] at the point where the camera started rolling and I’d be laughing when “action” was called.
