Brad Garrett’s voice or face has appeared in nearly every movie you’ve ever seen (Ratatouille) and most of the ones you haven’t (Hoodwinked II: Hood vs. Evil). He’s a fine poker player who contributed maybe the funniest moment to Celebrity Poker Showdown, when he suddenly began channeling Bill Cosby in front of the Cos’s former costar, Malcolm-Jamal Warner, making Warner nearly piss himself. And he’s an even better standup, because he has a huge physical presence, a quick wit, and a throat he can manipulate to produce pretty much any sound.
