Hank Azaria BIO

Hank Azaria is a versatile actor, comedian, and voice actor who has made his mark on both stage and screen. Born in Queens, New York in 1964, Azaria began his career as a voice actor, lending his voice to characters on popular animated shows like "The Simpsons," "Family Guy," and "The Tick." But his talent extends far beyond voice work, and he has proven himself to be a gifted actor in a variety of roles.
Azaria got his start in theater, appearing in a number of productions both on and off Broadway. In 1989, he made his Broadway debut in the play "The House of Blue Leaves," which earned him critical acclaim and a Tony Award nomination. He went on to appear in several other Broadway productions, including "Spamalot," "Monty Python's musical adaptation of the film Monty Python and the Holy Grail," and "The Farnsworth Invention."
But it was his work on television that really made Azaria a household name. He is perhaps best known for his work on "The Simpsons," where he has provided the voices for several beloved characters, including Moe Szyslak, Chief Wiggum, and Apu Nahasapeemapetilon. He has won four Emmy Awards for his work on the show, and has become one of the most recognizable voice actors in the industry.
In addition to his work on "The Simpsons," Azaria has also appeared in a number of other popular television shows, including "Friends," "Mad About You," and "Ray Donovan." He has also had recurring roles on shows like "Huff" and "Brockmire," and has made guest appearances on countless others.
Azaria has also made a name for himself in film, appearing in a number of popular movies over the years. He has worked with some of the biggest names in Hollywood, including Steven Spielberg, Mike Nichols, and Garry Marshall. Some of his most notable film roles include his portrayal of Agador Spartacus in "The Birdcage," his turn as Gargamel in "The Smurfs" movies, and his role as the villainous Venom in "Spider-Man: Homecoming."
Despite his success in television and film, Azaria has never lost his love for the stage. In addition to his work on Broadway, he has also appeared in a number of regional theater productions, and has even written and produced his own off-Broadway play, "Nobody's Perfect."
In recent years, Azaria has become increasingly involved in philanthropy and activism. He is a strong advocate for animal rights, and has worked with organizations like PETA and The Humane Society. He has also been vocal about his support for LGBTQ rights and marriage equality.
Despite his many accomplishments, Azaria remains humble and grounded, and is known for his down-to-earth personality and sense of humor. He has been married to his wife, Katie Wright, since 2007, and the couple has one child together.
Overall, Hank Azaria is a talented and versatile actor who has made his mark on both stage and screen.
