“He’s easy to do, because he’s like me. Chuckie and I worry about things, and there’s a lot to be worried about.” “He’s a nerdy sidekick. Yeah, he’s Tommy’s best friend. You know, everybody feels for the kid who’s scared or the kid who’s kind of the put-down kid. Everybody relates to that. We’ve all experienced it. And it always gives him someplace to go, because you know he’s going to overcome it in some way. You’re rooting for him.” “He usually bucks up because Tommy needs it or one of the other characters needs it. He doesn’t do it intentionally on his own for his own sake.”
Many people will remember her for all her hard work and making the characters she voiced feel so real.
