- Kenneth: (Responding to the question if people recognize him more for his voice than his face) No... you know, The Producers, Young Frankenstein, What's Up Doc?, all these roles have kind of caught up with me. I'm surprised at how many people do recognize me and want to talk about these movies. Nobody much recognizes your voice!
