Maurice LaMarche - Part One

You know and love Maurice LaMarche. Even if you didn’t know you do! Maurice is the wildly talented, voice actor, comedian and impressionist who has voiced some of the most beloved animated characters of our time. He is the voice behind The Brain in "Pinky and The Brain," Dr. Egon Spengler from "The Real Ghostbusters," dozens of characters on the show "Futurama" (including Kif Kroker and Calculon), and he's the voice for scores of other TV shows, movies, and commercials.

We get to know the man behind the voices in this wonderful two-part conversation with Maurice as he talks with Mark and Lowell about growing up in Canada, trying to overcome social anxiety as a child by experimenting with voices, his start in comedy including opening on the road for Rodney Dangerfield. Maurice talks about his family and some of the tremendous personal loss he's experienced.  And he shares an uplifting story about life-changing guidance he received during a chance encounter with the Dalai Lama.
