Hank Azaria Information

Henry Albert "Hank" Azaria ( / ə ˈ z ɛər i ə / ə-zair-ee-ə; born April 25, 1964) is an American film, television and stage actor, director, voice actor, and comedian. He is noted for being one of the principal voice actors on the animated television series The Simpsons (1989–present), on which he performs the voices of Moe Szyslak, Apu Nahasapeemapetilon, Chief Wiggum, Comic Book Guy, Carl Carlson and numerous others. Azaria, who attended Tufts University, joined the show with little voice acting experience, but became a regular in its second season. Many of his performances on the show are based on famous actors and characters; Moe's voice, for example, is based on actor Al Pacino.

Alongside his continued voice acting on The Simpsons, Azaria became more widely known through his live-action appearances in films such as The Birdcage (1996), Anastasia (1997) and Godzilla (1998). He has continued to star in numerous films including Mystery Men (1999), America's Sweethearts (2001), Shattered Glass (2003), Along Came Polly (2004), Run Fatboy Run (2007), Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian (2009) and The Smurfs (2011). He also had recurring roles on the television series Mad About You and Friends and starred in the drama Huff (2004–2006), playing the titular character, as well as appearing in the popular stage musical Spamalot. Originally primarily a comic actor, in recent years Azaria has taken on more dramatic roles including the TV films Tuesdays With Morrie (1999) and Uprising (2001). He has won four Emmys and a Screen Actors Guild Award. Azaria was married to the actress Helen Hunt from 1999 to 2000.

Early life

Azaria was born Henry Albert Azaria on April 25, 1964 in Forest Hills, Queens, New York, the son of Sephardic Jewish parents from Thessaloniki, Greece.[1][2] His father, Albert, ran several dress-manufacturing businesses, while his mother raised him and his two older sisters, Stephanie and Elise.[3][4] Before marrying his father, Azaria's mother had been a publicist for Columbia Pictures, promoting films in Latin American countries, as she was fluent in both English and Spanish.[3] Throughout his childhood, Azaria often "memorize[d] and mimic[ked]" the scripts of the films, shows and stand-up comedy routines that he enjoyed.[5]

Azaria attended The Kew-Forest School in Forest Hills.[6] He did not consciously decide to become an actor until he performed in a school play at the age of 16, becoming, at the expense of his academic studies, "obsessed with acting."[5] Both of his parents loved all forms of show business, which further spurred him to become an actor.[3] He studied drama at Tufts University until 1985,[6] before training at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts.[7][2] At Tufts he met Oliver Platt, with whom he became best friends; Azaria noted that "Oliver was a better actor than I was in college, and he really inspired me."[8] Together the pair starred in various college stage productions including The Merchant of Venice.[9]

Although he did not expect the endeavor to be successful, Azaria decided to become a professional actor so that he would not regret not trying later in his life.[5] Azaria's first acting job was an advertisement for Italian television when he was seventeen years old.[3] He also worked as a busboy.[10] Azaria originally intended to work predominantly as a theatrical actor and he and Platt set up their own company, named Big Theatre, although Harold Pinter's The Dumb Waiter was the only thing they ever performed.[7] He decided that television was a better calling and offered a greater chance of work, and, after being offered the oppurtunity to work with talent agent Harry Gold, moved to Los Angeles, California.[7][5]

Career

Early career

Azaria has described his career progression as being gradual, in that he did not achieve overnight recognition or fame.[3] After moving to Los Angeles, Azaria got an agent,[5] and was trained by acting coach Roy London.[11] For a time, in between acting jobs, he performed as a stand-up comedian,[7] and worked as a bartender for a catering firm.[12]

Upon meeting him, Gold was lukewarm about Azaria, but a woman Azaria had "worked with in New York got really furious with him because he said he'd work with me and then didn't," so Gold began sending Azaria out for auditions.[5] He made his first television appearance with a role in the pilot episode of the 1986 ABC comedy-drama series Joe Bash, which starred Peter Boyle.[7] His part - a one-line role as the police officer Maldonado - was edited out before the show's broadcast, although the role secured him admission to the Screen Actors Guild.[5] Azaria went on to appear in the TV film Nitti: The Enforcer, about the gangster Frank Nitti, and played Joe in an episode of the sitcom Family Ties in 1988, in which he had one line, and the following year played Steve Stevenson in an episode of Growing Pains.[5]

The Simpsons

Azaria's first role on The Simpsons was Moe Szyslak, shown with Moe's one-time girlfriend Renée (voiced by Helen Hunt, to whom Azaria was married for a time).

He became most famous for his voice work on the animated television show The Simpsons, a show that continues to the present. He joined the show having previously performed only one voice over: as the titular animated dog in the failed Fox pilot Hollywood Dog, a show he described as "sort of Roger Rabbit-esque, where the dog was animated but everybody else was real."[7] The first voice he performed on The Simpsons was that of town bartender Moe Szyslak, replacing Christopher Collins who had initially recorded the character's voice. Having known him from Hollywood Dog, casting director Bonita Pietila called Azaria and asked him to audition for the voice of Moe.[7] At the time he was performing the role of a drug dealer in a play, utilizing a voice based on the actor Al Pacino's performance in the film Dog Day Afternoon. He used the voice in his audition for The Simpsons and, on the request of the show's executive producers Matt Groening and Sam Simon, made the voice more gravelly. Groening and Simon thought the resultant voice was ideal for Moe and took Azaria over to the Fox recording studio. Before he had even seen a script, he recorded several lines of dialogue as Moe for the episode "Some Enchanted Evening", dubbing Collins' voice.[3][13][14] Azaria did not expect to hear from the show again but they continued to call him back, first to perform the voice of Chief Wiggum, and then Apu Nahasapeemapetilon. By the show's second season he was performing multiple recurring voices and so was given a contract and made a permanent member of the main cast.[3] As he joined later than the rest of the cast, Groening still considers Azaria the "new guy."[15] In addition to Moe, Wiggum and Apu, Azaria provides the voices of the Comic Book Guy, Carl Carlson, Cletus Spuckler, Professor Frink, Dr. Nick Riviera, Lou, Snake, Kirk Van Houten, the Sea Captain, Superintendent Chalmers, Disco Stu, Duffman, the Wiseguy and numerous other one-time characters.[16]

In addition to Moe's voice being based on Al Pacino, many of Azaria's other recurring characters are based on an existing source. He took Apu's voice from the many Indian and Pakistani convenience store workers in Los Angeles that he had interacted with when he first moved to the area, and also loosely based it on Peter Sellers' character Hrundi V. Bakshi from the film The Party.[3] Originally, it was thought that Apu being Indian was too offensive and stereotypical, but due to Azaria's reading of the line "Hello, Mr. Homer", which the show's producers thought was hilarious, his character stayed.[17][7] Azaria, however, disputed this on LateNet with Ray Ellin, claiming that Apu was always intended to be stereotypical.[18] Chief Wiggum's voice was originally a parody of David Brinkley but when Azaria was told it was too slow he switched it to that of Edward G. Robinson.[17] Officer Lou is based on Sylvester Stallone,[13] and Dr. Nick is "a bad Ricky Ricardo impression."[19] The "Wise Guy" voice is "basically Charles Bronson,"[13] while Carl is "a silly voice [Azaria] always did."[20] Two of the voices come from his time at college: Snake's is based on Azaria's old college roommate, while Comic Book Guy's voice is based on a student who lived in the room next door to Azaria's, who went by the name "F".[13] Professor Frink is based on Jerry Lewis's performance in the original The Nutty Professor, and the Sea Captain's is based on English actor Robert Newton's portrayal of many pirates.[17] Azaria based his performance for the one-time character Frank Grimes, from the episode "Homer's Enemy", on actor William H. Macy. He counts Grimes as the hardest, most emotional performance he has ever had to give in the history of The Simpsons.[20]

Azaria's work on the show has won him three Emmy Awards for Outstanding Voice-Over Performance, in 1998, 2001 and 2003. He was also nominated for the award in 2009 and 2010, but lost to co-star Dan Castellaneta and guest star Anne Hathaway respectively.[21] Azaria, with the rest of the principal cast, reprised all of his voice roles from The Simpsons, for the 2007 film The Simpsons Movie.[22] Azaria notes that he spends "an embarrassingly small amount of time working on The Simpsons."[10] He works for "an hour on Thursdays when we read through the script, then four hours on Monday when we record it, and I'll pop in again once or twice."[10] He concludes it is "the best job in the world, as far as I'm concerned."[10]

Up until 1998, Azaria was paid US$30,000 per episode. Azaria and the five other main The Simpsons voice actors were then involved in a pay dispute in which Fox threatened to replace them with new actors and went as far as preparing for casting of new voices. However, the issue was soon resolved and from 1998 to 2004, they received $125,000 per episode. In 2004, the voice actors intentionally skipped several table reads, demanding they be paid $360,000 per episode.[23] The strike was resolved a month later,[24] with Azaria's pay increasing to something between $250,000[25] and $360,000 per episode.[26] In 2008, production for the twentieth season was put on hold due to new contract negotiations with the voice actors, who wanted a "healthy bump" in salary.[26] The dispute was later resolved and Azaria and the rest of the cast received their requested pay raise; they now earn approximately $400,000 per episode.[27]

Once The Simpsons was "going steadily" and Azaria had enough money to live on, he stopped working on commercials as he found them "so demoralizing" and he always sounded sarcastic whenever he read for them. When recording the part of "Jell-O Man" for a Jell-O commercial, he was told to make the voice he offered "more likeable and friendly so that children like him." After pointing out that "Jell-O Man" was a fictional character, he left and never recorded for an advertisement again.[3]

Further career

"[Azaria's] appeal can best be summed up by, of all things, his hilarious cameo in the goofy comedy Dodgeball. As Patches O'Houlihan, the dodgeball champion who will age into the magnificently gruff Rip Torn, he delivers a pitch-perfect performance in an instructional video in which he chain-smokes, encourages a child to pick on those weaker than him, and steals the film from a cast of comedic greats. It's a wonderful, odd moment that could have failed miserably in the hands of a lesser actor, and he manages to pull it off with only seconds of dialogue. In my humble opinion, and using my limited knowledge of boxing terms: Pound for pound, Hank Azaria is the best actor working today."

—Playwright Jenelle Riley on Azaria.[7]

With the continuing success of The Simpsons, Azaria began taking on other, principally live-action, roles. His The Simpsons co-star Nancy Cartwright wrote that: "The thing about Hank that I most remember is that he started out so unassuming and then, little by little, his abilities were revealed and his contributions to the show escalated. I realized Hank was going to be our breakaway star."[28] He was a main cast member on the show Herman's Head (1991-1994) playing Jay Nichols, alongside The Simpsons co-star Yeardley Smith.[29] He regularly recorded for The Simpsons and filmed Herman's Head during the same day.[6] In 1994 he made his first appearance on the sitcom Friends, playing the recurring character David, one of Phoebe Buffay's boyfriends. His first appearance was in the show's tenth episode, before the character left for Minsk. He came back in the show's seventh season (2001), before making several appearances in the ninth (2003), which culminated in David proposing to Phoebe. She rejected him, and David left the show for good.[11] From 1995 to 1999, Azaria had a recurring role in the sitcom Mad About You as Nat Ostertag, the dog walker.[30] Azaria was nominated for the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Guest Actor in a Comedy Series for his roles in both Mad About You (in 1998) and Friends (in 2003).[21] Azaria had the lead role in the short-lived sitcom If Not For You in 1995, playing record producer Craig Schaeffer.[31]

His first theatrically released feature film appearance was in the 1990 film Pretty Woman, where he played a police detective investigating the murder of a prostitute.[11] He played television producer Albert Freedman in the 1994 Academy Award-nominated film Quiz Show.[30] In 1996, Azaria played gay Guatemalan housekeeper Agador Spartacus in the film The Birdcage. He was nominated for the Screen Actors Guild Award for Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Supporting Role,[11] and critically branded "the most hilarious performance in the film," by Alison Macor of The Austin Chronicle,[32] while Empire wrote that he "[stole] the show."[33] For the role he used a Guatemalan accent, and made himself sound as effeminate as possible. He had chosen two possible voices, an effeminate one and a tougher one. After advice from a drag queen, he chose the effeminate voice. Three weeks into production, he realized he sounded exactly like his grandmother, which aided his performance.[3] Azaria appeared in numerous other films in the late 1990s, including Heat (1995), Grosse Pointe Blank (1997) and Celebrity (1998), as well as playing photographer Victor "Animal" Palotti in the 1998 film Godzilla.[11][7] He went on to appear opposite Gwyneth Paltrow, as Walter Plane, in the 1998 adaptation of Great Expectations.[30] In 1999, he starred in Disney's Mystery, Alaska as Charles Danner, and Universal Pictures's Mystery Men, as the superhero The Blue Raja.[34] Other film roles included Hector Gorgonzolas in America's Sweethearts (2001), Claude in Along Came Polly (2004), and the young Patches O'Houlihan in Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story (2004), the latter two with Ben Stiller.[11] For his role of Claude, a French scuba instructor, in Along Came Polly, Azaria donned a wig and worked out "for seven or eight weeks," to get into the physical shape the part required.[35] He also appeared as Professor Groteschele in Fail Safe (2000), a production that was broadcast live.[34]

Azaria played composer Marc Blitzstein in Tim Robbins' film Cradle Will Rock in 1999.[34][7] Paul Clinton wrote that Azaria was "brilliant as the tortured (is there any other kind) artist Blitzstein."[36] The same year he appeared as author and journalist Mitch Albom alongside Jack Lemmon in the television film Tuesdays with Morrie,[30] winning the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Miniseries or a Movie for the role.[37] Azaria described the latter as the "best work [he has] done."[30] These were two of the first dramatic roles Azaria had taken; throughout his career Azaria has primarily worked in comedy,[7] but tries to balance the two.[38] Azaria commented: "all the roles I got were in comedy at first, and I was certainly happy to get those, so I never felt the lack of being considered a dramatic actor because I was so happy to get what I got. And then I became surprised later on when I got dramatic roles. But I never went, 'OK, now it's time to get a dramatic role.'"[7] His next dramatic role was in the television film Uprising in 2001. The film was based on the 1943 Warsaw Ghetto Uprising and Azaria played Mordechaj Anielewicz, one of the revolt's leaders. Azaria was confused by his casting in Uprising and frequently asked the film's producer and director Jon Avnet as to why he was selected. "I know [Avnet] liked the fact I was Jewish, and he knew I could do accents well. He cast me and David Schwimmer in [Uprising], and we were both sort of mystified. He had some instinct that he wanted people who were more known for being funny. He never explained it satisfactorily to me; I don't understand why."[7] His parts in Tuesdays With Morrie and Uprising affected him, causing a depressive state which he countered with DVDs of the comedy series Monty Python.[7] Azaria found Uprising to be "very difficult very depressing very emotionally challenging," material.[38] In 2003, Azaria played journalist Michael Kelly, the former editor of The New Republic, in the drama film Shattered Glass. Kelly died a few months before the film was released and Azaria said the film "has become a weird kind of eulogy to him."[39]

Azaria also continued with voice-over work, appearing as Venom/Eddie Brock in Spider-Man: The Animated Series for four years between 1994 and 1996,[40] and in the animated feature Anastasia (1997), as Bartok the bat, reprising the role in the direct-to-video sequel Bartok the Magnificent (1999).[11] He also voiced Eric in the American dub of the series Stressed Eric,[31] and Harold Zoid in the 2001 Futurama episode "That's Lobstertainment!".[41] Azaria noted in 2005: "I started doing other voiceovers for cartoons for a couple of years, but I didn't really love it. I was spoiled by The Simpsons."[7]

Huff and further film roles

Azaria starred as psychiatrist Craig "Huff" Huffstodt in the television series Huff, which ran for two seasons between 2004 and 2006, airing 24 episodes.[2][42] Azaria enjoyed working on the show and by the second season began "to extend [his] character emotionally," and "he really is beginning to unravel."[8] Azaria served as an executive producer on the show and directed an episode of its second season.[8] After reading the pilot script he sent it to Platt, who took the role of Huff's friend, Russell Tupper.[9] Gillian Flynn of Entertainment Weekly called Azaria "impressively subtle" in the role,[43] while John Leonard of New York said he was a "shrewd bit of casting."[44] The show garnered seven Emmy nominations in 2005 including a nomination for Azaria for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series.[21] Despite the awards, the show continually received low ratings and Showtime chose not to commission it for a third season.[42] Previously, Azaria created and starred in the sitcom Imagine That in 2002, replacing Emeril mid-season in the NBC lineup. He played Josh Miller, a comedy writer, who "transformed" each episode into a character Miller has imagined, "provid[ing] a humorous outlet for his frustrations at home and work".[38][45][46] Production closed after five episodes and it was canceled after just two aired, due to poor critical reaction and ratings.[47] Azaria later commented on the show "I wanted to do something really truthful and interesting and impactful. We had a bunch of executives sitting in the room, all agreeing that The Larry Sanders Show was our favorite thing on television, but we couldn't do it on NBC, and nor would we want to from a business standpoint; it simply wouldn't make enough money. By the time it aired, the writing was sort of on the wall, and I don't blame them at all. It was apparent it wasn't working."[7]

Azaria has made multiple film appearances since Huff ended. He appeared as a smooth-talking American named Whit in David Schwimmer's directorial debut Run Fatboy Run. During production he became good friends with co-star Simon Pegg, performing The Simpsons voices on request, frequently distracting Pegg when he was supposed to be filming.[48] He worked with Stiller again on 2009's Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian in which Azaria played the villainous pharaoh Kah Mun Rah, utilizing a Boris Karloff accent.[49] Although the film received mixed reviews, critics praised Azaria's performance.[50][51] Perry Seibert of TV Guide wrote that "thanks to Azaria, a master of comic timing. His grandiose, yet slightly fey bad guy is equally funny when he's chewing out minions as he is when deliberating if Oscar the Grouch and Darth Vader are evil enough to join his team."[52] He appeared as Abraham in Year One,[53] and as Dr. Knight in 2010's Love and Other Drugs.[54]

Azaria provided the voices for the characters Carlos and Phil in Hop (2011). The response to the film was mostly negative, but many reviewers praised Azaria's performance.[55][56][57] For example, Sandie Chen of The Washington Post said "Azaria has been honing his over-the-top Spanish accent since The Birdcage, so anything he says grabs some laughs,"[58] while Emma Simmonds of Time Out called him an "unflappable presence, voicing two characters with style."[59] Azaria starred as Gargamel in the live-action adaptation of The Smurfs in 2011.[60] Azaria wore a prosthetic nose, ears, buck teeth, eyebrows and a wig, as well as shaving his head; spent approximately 130 hours in the make-up chair over the course of the production.[61][62] Azaria considered Gargamel's voice to be the most important part of his performance. The producers wanted an "old, failed, Shakespearean actor" voice, but Azaria felt this would lack energy and wanted something more Eastern European. He eventually selected a voice similar to that of Paul Winchell's from the cartoon.[63] Azaria disliked the cartoon when it first aired, and considered Gargamel too one-dimensional a character and "just this straight villain";[63] he opted to make Gargamel "more sarcastic" than in the cartoon, but "discovered that there's no way to play Gargamel without screaming your head off at certain points — ramping him up and getting him very upset over Smurfs."[64] He interpreted him as "very lonely", adding that "he hates the Smurfs because they're such a happy family. He wants in really badly. I think he wants to be embraced as a Smurf."[64] Azaria worked with the writers to "infuse" the script with some of his ideas about the character, "particularly with the 'married' relationship between Gargamel and [his cat] Azreal [sic]" which Azaria conceived.[63] Scott Bowles of USA Today called Azaria the "human standout";[65] Betsy Sharkey of The Los Angeles Times felt he suffered the "greatest disservice" of the film's cast due to a poor script.[66] He will appear in Happy Feet 2 (2011).[67]

Azaria returned to live-action television in 2011, starring in the NBC sitcom Free Agents, a remake of the British series of the same name. He plays Alex, a recently divorced public relations executive "who is missing his kids and trying to keep himself together," and ends up sleeping with a co-worker (Kathryn Hahn).[68][69][70] Azaria was apprehensive about the project, disliking the lengthy schedule required of a lead actor in a single-camera series, and favoring the "sensibility" of cable shows. However, he liked the script and executive produder John Enbom's previous series Party Down and decided to accept the part.[71]

Directing and theatrical work

Azaria wrote and directed the 2004 short film Nobody's Perfect, which won the Film Discovery Jury Award for Best Short at the US Comedy Arts Festival.[68] In January 2007, he was confirmed to be directing Outsourced,[72] a film about two American workers who journey to get their jobs back, after their factory is moved to Mexico.[73] However, in 2009, Azaria told Empire he was now focusing on making a documentary about fatherhood.[74] Two years later he told The Los Angeles Times that the project was "half-complete" and is "forever looking for financing to finish it."[71]

Azaria has appeared in several theatre productions. In 2003 he appeared as Bernard in a run of David Mamet's play Sexual Perversity in Chicago, along with Matthew Perry and Minnie Driver, in London's West End.[11][7] In 2004, Azaria began appearing as Sir Lancelot, the French Taunter, and four other characters in Spamalot, the musical version of Monty Python and the Holy Grail, which opened in Chicago in December 2004 before moving to the Shubert Theatre on Broadway.[11][7] The show was met with critical acclaim, receiving fourteen Tony Award nominations in 2005, with Azaria being nominated for Best Performance by a Leading Actor in a Musical.[11] Azaria described it as "the most fun that I've ever had in my entire life."[75] Reuniting with The Birdcage director Mike Nichols and being a huge Monty Python fan, he saw it as an opportunity he could not pass up, describing it as "so much fun that I haven't realized how tiring it is."[7] He took a break from the show in June 2005, with Alan Tudyk filling in for him,[76] to work on Huff, but returned in December 2005.[75] Continuing his theater roles, in late 2007 he starred in Aaron Sorkin's The Farnsworth Invention, playing RCA head David Sarnoff.[77]

Acting style and vocal range

Azaria's friends refer to him as "the freakish mimic" due to his ability to copy almost anybody's voice instantly after he has heard it. As a child he believed that everyone could do this, but later realized that it was not a common talent. Azaria was glad to have found the "ultimate outlet" for this skill, in The Simpsons.[3] He "didn't realize it [when he joined the show], but it became like a lab for a character actor. I had to do so many voices."[7] In the early 2000s, Azaria felt he had reached the maximum amount of voices he was capable of: "For the first 10 years of The Simpsons, I would develop a bunch of voices. And then...I hit a point when I was tapped out. Every noise I can make, I have made. Even characters like Gargamel, I've done. Even if it was only two or three lines, at some point I've done something similar on The Simpsons, at least somewhere along the line."[64][63]

Azaria often plays characters where the much of their humor is derived from a "funny voice", such as The Birdcage and Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian. He stated that "being funny with a funny voice is more my comfort zone, a broader character that I try to humanize, a kind of silly or wacky persona that I try to fill in," although he finds it "much easier to be someone much closer to myself," as it requires "less energy...than playing characters that are so out there and high strung."[71]

The Simpsons creator Matt Groening has stated that Azaria possesses the ability to turn unfunny lines into some of the best in an episode,[13] while former writer Jay Kogen stated: "Just when I think I know [Azaria's] bag of tricks, he's always got a new thing he does to surprise me."[7] Throughout the run of The Simpsons, Azaria has had to sing in character several times, a task which he describes as easier than singing normally.[3] The Smurfs writer David N. Weiss says Azaria "has a beautiful treasure trove of talent," and "became what you wished you were writing."[78] Playwright Jenelle Riley wrote in 2005 that Azaria was "by far" her favorite actor, praising his "versatility" and "tendency to take small roles that would normally fade into the background and to consistently create characters people care about, noting his roles in Shattered Glass, Mystery, Alaska and especially DodgeBall: A True Underdog Story.[7]

Personal life

Azaria has been dating former actress Katie Wright since 2007,[79] and the two have one son together, Hal, who was born on June 6, 2009.[80] They live in a four-bedroom house in Pacific Palisades, which Azaria bought from his The Simpsons' co-star Dan Castellaneta and his wife Deb Lacusta in 2011 for $5.5 million. Several weeks previously, Azaria sold his $10 million home in Bel-Air for $11.065 million.[81][82] In the early 1990s, Azaria was engaged to actress Julie Warner.[6] In 1994, Azaria began a relationship with actress Helen Hunt, and they married in a traditional Jewish ceremony at the couple's home in Southern California on July 17, 1999.[83] The two had appeared together in Mad About You and the episode of The Simpsons "Dumbbell Indemnity".[30] After a year of marriage, Azaria moved out of the couple's home,[84] and after a six month separation, Hunt filed for divorce, citing "irreconcilable differences". The divorce was finalized on December 18, 2000.[85]

Azaria is the godfather of Oliver Platt's son, George.[9] He is also a regular poker player, appearing twice on Celebrity Poker Showdown and competing at other events, finishing a few places short of the bubble in the main event of the 2010 World Series of Poker.[86][87][88] Politically, Azaria has made contributions that support the Democratic Party,[89] enjoys the music of Elvis Costello, and would be a therapist if he were not an actor.[90] He considers The Godfather trilogy to be what inspired him to become an actor, and counts Peter Sellers and Walt Frazier as his heroes.[91]
