It’s the combination of the high and the low that I thought was very cool. They chose to base this ridiculous, funny, intriguing, creative story on this beautiful classical music. I wouldn’t know anything about classical music if it wasn’t for Fantasia. That was my entire introduction to opera music. You’d think, “Oh, they’re just making jokes and this or that.” But when you watch them as an adult, you think, “Oh no, they were talking about some pretty deep stuff.” For example, I wouldn’t know anything about opera music if it wasn’t for Bugs Bunny. Looking back on it now, they were so incredibly subversive for their time. cartoons and the Bugs Bunnys and then the Tex Avery stuff. But no, I would watch all of them – the Warner Bros. That would never happen.” It’s hard to describe to people how terrible it was when you could only watch cartoons at a certain time in your life. If there would be a device that you could open up and then just type something in and only cartoons would come up. But, if there was a way to only watch cartoons. If only there would be a time in my life where there would be a network. I mean, in the seventies, Saturday morning cartoons were just like, “I wish every day could be all cartoons. It’s couched in this cartoony evil sense but it’s very progressive. I think that’s the really lovely part of their relationship. He’s very, very comfortable in who he is, and he loves his wife, and she loves him right back. I didn’t want to veer too far into Austin Powers territory. That was the one thing I was a little bit. If anything, if there’s an analogy to be made, I think it’s probably a little bit closer to Austin Powers, at least from a sartorial sense. I don’t think it’s very similar to Don’s. I think Herb definitely has his own style. Your character is pretty suave, a little like Don Draper.

So, I’m really looking forward to seeing how that plays in a big auditorium full of people. Especially when you’re a little kid, they’re super funny.
And, you know, butts and farts are funny. It’s going to be really exciting to see what the reaction is because I happen to find a lot of it very funny. I’m very much looking forward to seeing it with an audience, especially an audience of a bunch of little kids. I’ve seen a lot of the stuff that I’m in, but I haven’t seen the whole thing. HAMM: I have not seen the entire film yet.
And when you’re working with people who are also incredibly collaborative too, they’re just like “Go!” So, you get to go. But no, it’s really fun and it’s completely creative. I talk to myself on elevators and people are like, “Are you sure you’re going to be okay?” It’s sort of a process. I’d flash back to being a little kid and watching cartoons and thinking, “I wonder if I could do that,” and talking to myself, you know, things I do normally in my day-to-day life. I wonder what he sounds like.” And then, messing around with voices in your head like a crazy person or like a child basically, like a kid. I was like, “Oh wow, that guy looks so cool. Part of it, for me, was getting the artist’s rendering of the character. You’re not constrained by what you look like or what your hair looks like that day, or what haircut you’re stuck with from whatever thing you just finished. Did you have much input into what he was going to be like? Herb Overkill has a very odd way about him with his unusual sense of humor and manner of talking.
