Maurice La Marche, MLM, Maurice La'Marche, Maurice Lamarche
Maurice LaMarche was born in Toronto, Ontario, Canada on March 30, 1958. Shortly after his birth, he and his family moved to Timmins, Ontario. During his childhood, he slowly gained a talent and love for mimicry (Impressionalism). Later on this love of mimicry turned into a love of stand up comedy. At 19, he performed at an open mic night, to displeasing results. Unperturbed, the 22 year old moved on to Los Angeles, California to have a try at show business. He was unsucessful. Instead, he moved to New York City, where he finally found success.

  • The Scary Door

    Hi Folks, I recently visited Disney's theme park, California Adventure, and during that visit I went on the Tower of Terror ride. The ride is themed around the show The Twilight Zone. As part of that theme there is an intro showing clips from the show and new film and voice over work to tell aMore story. The voice was spot on Rod Serling, but some/most of it couldn't have been Serling since he died more than 30 years ago. Has anyone else here been on that ride? If so, do you think it was our good friend Mo who provided the Serling voice? I ask because it seemed so close to the voice of the Scary Door narrator from Futurama. Incidentally, whenever the narrator said "The Twilight Zone", I couldn't help but hear "The Scary Door" in my head. Anyway, I doubt I'll get a good response here since this forum is so... um... less visited than others. If you happen to read this, and have good input, I'd appreciate a response. Thanks!

    "OMG"s and "WTF"s could not express the outrage Futurama fans felt last month when it was revealed that 20th Century Fox Television was looking at replacement voice actors for the animated show's revival on Comedy Central. Money, of course, was at the heart of the issue, with Fox considerably slashing the comedy's budget, starting with the voice talent.

    This guy is a king!!! hide show

    I am a big fan of Maurice LaMarche. I like his voice and also it matches of the charater Brain from Pinky and the Brain. I really didnt know he did some voices on the commercials like Fruit loops and Willy Wonka. Its sad that he did some voice in the terrible show My Gym Parenr`s A Monkey. If I had one wish I wish that I had the voice of Maurice LaMarche, that would be I dream come true. I love Maurice LaMarche as much as Rob paulsen, Jess Harnell, Tress Macneille, Tara strong, and Tom kenny. I hope he can make a differance on the dumb shows like what I mention already.

    YES!!! hide show

    Maurice LaMarche is the Brain from "Pinky and the Brain"! It's hard to see why he shouldn't have any reviews! He's great! He even won an Annie Award for the voice of Brain in 1998! Right now, flowing through my head is his infamous line, "Pinky, are you pondering what I'm pondering?" Well, I know what I'm pondering: He should have roles on Nickelodeon, just like his "Pinky and the Brain" colleague Rob Paulsen does! In commercials, Maurice does the voices of Toucan Sam and Willy Wonka! Maurice LaMarche is such a talented and underrated voice actor! YES!!!
