    I like Hank Azaria. It will suck if he is run out of his job for doing
    his job too well.

    I like Hank Azaria. It will suck if he is run out of his job for doing
    his job too well.

    The trailer makes it clear that Azaria is just doing what the producers wanted.

    I hope that the full documentary will concentrate more on the writing
    than the voicing.
