That was a fun little read. I'm surprised he was hesitant to voice a character in a Disney film.

Remember that at the time, his main gig was Mr. Bean - a character of all action and hardly any words. Just about the antithesis to a voice actor, so I can understand why he would be hesitant to do voice-work.

mr bean? i’d argue that blackadder was a bit more important and the greatest sitcom ever. He certainly showed his acting chops there.
No, seriously, if you havent seen blackadder I highly recommend seasons 2-4 of it.
