Ask Futurama Star Billy West About...?
In case you haven't heard, Futurama is coming back — in like 2008, so don't go channel-flipping in hope quite yet. This is the first interview Billy West (who voices Fry, Prof. Farnsworth, Zapp Brannigan, Zoidberg, and other Futurama characters) has done since the announcement. Realize, too, that Billy has also been the voices of Ren and Stimpy and hundreds of other animated characters over the years, and old-school Howard Stern fans will remember that part of his career, too. Ask Billy about anything you like; we'll send him 10 top-moderated questions (and maybe he'll answer a few extra ones of his choice, too). We expect to post his answers Wednesday, the day after Freedom Day's 21st Century predecessor, the 4th of July (which, sadly, is not known for nude hot tub parties). Meanwhile, to tide you over, here's a little MP3 voice montage Billy did in his home studio just for Slashdot.
Each to their own I suppose. I appreciated the P-NP references.

In a cage match of you vs. Hank Azaria, who would win? How about your characters vs. Hank's characters? What if it was in jello instead of a cage?

When you say you recorded that mp3 in your studio, did you mean answering machine?
After calming me down with some orange slices and some fetal spooning, E.T. revealed to me his singular purpose.
Do you take requests from people to have you say something in a character's voice? For example, if someone asked you to say, "Good news everyone! We've been hired to deliver this giant mutant octopus to Hentai 9, the schoolgirl planet" in the voice of Professro Farnsworth, would you consider it?
