Tom Kenny, the voice actor behind Plankton in SpongeBob SquarePants, shares the interesting story of how he came up with the iconic character's voice.
BuzzFeed: One thing I love about Plankton is he has such a big voice in such a little body. Can you tell me about the origin of his voice?Rocko's Modern Life.
Likewise, Clancy and I get along really well. Clancy and I have actually tried to sell shows together and have taken a few road trips together. He's a good buddy, and so that's fun, too. The fact that we are rivals on the show maybe even pushed us to befriendly. We don't see each other all the time, but we got to spend some time together this year with the 25th anniversary.
I always thought that there's a lot of backstory between those two characters that you feel, and Jill Talley is fantastic. She's one of my favorite comedy performers and writers. I connect with her a lot when we're doing the characters, and it's great to have a friend that you can do that with. That's probably my favorite aspect of playing him, is that Jill's usually there.
It took off with fans where I think there was a contest to name him, and they came up with Fred, which is funny because that's one of my grandfather's names. We listened to the fans on that one, and we're like,"If you want more of him, we'll do it!" I did an episode called"My Leg!," which is one of my favorite I've ever written. I think we've been successful in keeping him alive without doing the same old thing again and again.
Particularly in the"Rock Bottom" episode, Derek Drymon, Steve Hillenburg, and I were in the room, trying to mine our childhoods. Stories would come up, like the"Ripped Pants" episode, came from an embarrassing thing that happened to Steve when he was a kid.
