When I first started I was always known as The Girl on the Sitcom with the Funny Voice.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I was known as the little girl with the big voice.
In the back of my head, I always thought it would be great to become an actress on a sitcom.
I've been called 'the voice actor.'
When I came out to Hollywood in 1985, I thought that I would be sitcom star. I'm a tall, skinny, goofy guy. I thought that I would make a great funny neighbor, or wacky office mate, in a sitcom.
I thought it's very funny that I ended up as a voiceover guy because when I started out as an actor, I had a very strong Long Island accent.
I really started acting when I was 12 when I was doing this television show called 'Jack & Bobby.'
We were the laughingstock of that first season... It was with great relish several years later that I received a TV Guide award for favorite actress on television.
After 'Nikki' and 'Steve Harvey,' I had written on a show called 'The Oblongs,' which was pretty well respected and had a lot of 'Simpsons' writers on it. So I was a TV writer with an interesting voice at that moment.
I started doing comedy with no plan to do voice work. Voice work came as a function of doing comedy and meeting people who eventually develop shows like that. I didn't seek out from an early age to be on cartoons.
I always saw myself as a comedic actor and wacky best friend.
