Second Annual Talk Like William Shatner Day
posted Sunday Mar 21, 2010 by Scott Ertz
Everyone knows the name William Shatner but not everyone knows the name Maurice LaMarche. If you are a regular UpStream reader, though, you probably know his voice. Maurice has voiced many popular animated characters including The Brain on Pinky and The Brain (and Animaniacs of course), Lil' John McCain on Lil' Bush, Egon Spengler on several Ghostbusters series and our favorites Hedonism Bot, Kif, Calculon and many others on Futurama.
One thing that stands out about Maurice is his love of William Shatner, especially his voice. Maurice claims to be the world's third best Shatner impressionist, and in honor of Shatner's birthday, has created International Talk Like William Shatner Day. Now, I know what you're thinking: "How can anyone talk like William Shatner ALL DAY?" Well, my friends, it is easier than you think. In fact, Maurice LaMarche has made a few videos to help you on your quest.
Hit the break to see how Maurice LaMarche can help you talk like William Shatner all day.
