What's the deal with Hank's role on "Mad About You?"

Hank's role as "Nat" the dog walker on "Mad About You" began as just a one shot deal. However, the response was so great, producers decided to make it a recurring role.

When was his first appearence on "Mad About You?"

Hank's first appearence was in episode 4.6, "An Angel For Murray" (which aired Nov. 19, 1995). In this episode the Buchman's are looking for someone to walk their dog due to the lack of time they have to do it. After interviewing several people, Nat comes in to be interviewed. Paul hires him on the spot, without Jamie's input. Jamie is at first concerned, but then soon amazed at how good Nat is. Then they made him a keeper.

What voices does Hank do on the Simpsons?

Hank's voice credit list is everchanging. He has/does provide alot of voices of just very minor and one time characters, which I can't always list. The best list I've found, was from the Simpsons Archive. I just went through it and wrote down all the voices with Hank's innitials next to them. Go to the Voices section for a list.

If you're asking for an autograph or reply, include a self addressed stamped envelope. Most of all, be patient. Think of all the fan letter's Hank gets.

As always, tune into "The Simpsons," and now and then "Mad About You."

He is currently working on five films, to my knowledge: "Mystery Men," "The Cradle Will Rock," "Alligatropolis," "Mystery Alaska," and "Planet Ice" (animated). For info on "The Cradle Will Rock" and "Mystery Alaska," you can go to the Casting News section.
