Hank Azaria is in negotiations to make his feature directing debut on the comedy Outsourced.
The story is set in motion after an American factory is shut down and transported to Mexico. Two workers venture south of the border to get their jobs back. Columbia Pictures originally envisaged it as a vehicle for Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson. Currently, no cast is attached.
Azaria, who voices the characters of Moe, Apu, and Chief Wiggum on The Simpsons, directed the 2004 short Nobody's Perfect, an ensemble comedy featuring Ellen Pompeo, Maria Bello, Sarah Silverman, and himself.
He is coming off his Tony-nominated Broadway run of Spamalot and the Emmy-winning television show Huff and will lend his voice to Fox's upcoming summer tentpole The Simpsons Movie. His recent acting credits include Along Came Polly and Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story.
I am still upset that Huff was canceled. I don't understand why they (Showtime) are airing it again if they are not going to renew it. It is a great show!
Hank Azaria is a one in a kind actor that can do both acting and voice acting. Way better then Seth Mcafarland. I was so angry when Huff got cancelled but im happy he is still on The Simpsons and voicing The Simpsons Movie.
