LaMarche was very much aware of the commercial recordings and basked in the ridiculousness of it all. LaMarche’s specialty is his Orson Welles impression, which not only pops up when he is playing the actor himself (as he did when he provided a voiceover for Tim Burton’s masterful Ed Wood), but when he’s playing the megalomaniacal mouse the Brain. He’s been Egon on The Real Ghostbusters, Kip on Futurama, Duke Nukem on Captain Planet, Elsa and Anna’s father in Frozen, and so on. Maurice LaMarche has had a long and storied career as a voice actor. Somehow, the audio was bootlegged and the situation became a ridiculous moment of legend. He and the directors didn’t see eye-to-eye, he didn’t appreciate any notes about his delivery, and eventually, he stormed out of the session, claiming that no money was worth this. Once upon a time, Welles was tasked with recording lines for a peas commercial and things started to go off the rails. Yes, it’s one of those things that’s just too weird to exist. One of the more obscure episodes in his life was when he was hired to record voiceover ads for Findus and their frozen food products. He died voicing the planet-eating robot Unicron in Transformers: The Movie. He schemed to the tunes of zither in the Third Man. He gave the world the groundbreaking film Citizen Kane. His narration of War of the Worlds on the radio is legendary. Orson Welles is remembered for many things.
