Hank Azaria interview

Interview0 Comments

Azaria appears as a guest on Conan to promote his television series, Ray Donovan. He also talks about working on sex scenes on the show, dealing with people who request for his Simpsons voices, and being mistaken for “Frank Azaria” despite his fame.

It happens in New York mostly, once a week. Maybe every two weeks if I’m lucky. A lot of people on the streets of New York, hey, Frank, how are you doing? I don’t know. Do these people also answer the phone, “Frello?”

Azaria gives interview to Elle about how dressing in drag for The Birdcage made him feel sympathetic to women.
