Mr. Lawrence quotes

It's a quality show and I think it came along at the right time, America wanted something stupid after the insanity of 9/11. The SpongeBob character is a naïve idiot but he also has a heart. He's a dumb, well-meaning person, like Forrest Gump or Jerry Lewis. (Mr. Lawrence)

The Plankton character was only supposed to be in one or two episodes, but I was a writer on the show and I really liked this character. Stephen told me to come up with more ideas for Plankton. I'm not just his voice. I get to create how the character is written and how he evolves over time. You very rarely get that experience.

Mr. Lawrence

I helped Stephen with the story and then I auditioned for SpongeBob, I used my Plankton voice, which sounds like a mix of Tony the Tiger and Gregory Peck. It's actually an imitation of a friend from high school that had a really deep voice.
