When you see actor Tom Kenny, the voice of many cartoon characters — including that of SpongeBob — for the first time, you get images of cartoons in your head. With his slender build, he reminds me of those Bing Crosbylookalikes that popped up in Looney Tunes shorts from time to time. His thick, black hornrimmed Buddy Holly glasses catch your attention right away. Personable and energetic would be how I’d describe his personality. At a recording session, he chats with anyone he can. He’s curious about what everyone does. When it comes to the work, he’s enthusiastic from the first to the last take and works hard to give the director what he or she wants and more. “I have the best job in the world,” Kenny says, and you can tell just from the tone in his voice that he really believes that.
