Azaria voices a number of the show's most iconic characters, including Moe the bartender, Chief Wiggum, and Comic Book Guy.

Hank Azaria fears the increasing prevalence of AI in Hollywood, especially in terms of voice acting, will cost us all the artform.

Hank Azaria expressed fear to The New York Times that artificial intelligence could soon replace him as the voice of several characters on “The Simpsons,” on which he’s been a voice actor since 1989.

Azaria has arguments as to why A.I. could never capture what a person’s voice can. Voiceover work requires commitment and physicality, he explains, pointing to times where he’s thrown a punch or mimicked chewing on a cigar for a performance.
