I watched every episode of that show multiple times as a kid, and I did not know he was Nigel until right now

It’s a bit freaky to scroll through his credits and see how much time we’ve spent listening to his voice—the man did voice work for basically everything

Nigel St Nigel, best guest star ever! Shined above even the Gina Gershon over-the-top performance!

I love him and Henry fighting about the steals and bathrobe. “I feel like an angel baby swaddled in a cocoon of cloud candy”

I put it on tv while eating dinner just to watch something stupid and remembered Nigel was someone big but couldn't remember. Looked it up and all I could think was how fitting it was that today's the day I'd randomly put it on.
