75 | !!I'm wet, I'm cold, there's a TROPE ON MY HEAD...! |
76 | * PlayingAgainstType: ''Film/{{Renfield|2023}}'' sees him playing Teddy Lobo, a dimwitted and vile gangster with a violent streak. |
77 | * PromotedFanboy: He's been a fan of the Sonic franchise since childhood, and then he later voiced the blue blur himself. |
78 | * SeparatedAtBirthCasting: Creator/JennySlate played Schwartz's character's twin sister, Mona Lisa, on ''Series/ParksAndRecreation''. They are not related, but they could very well be the poster children for live-action HalfIdenticalTwins. |
79 | * {{Typecasting}}: Seems prone to both playing either utter fools or [[DeadpanSnarker people who like to quip at everything]] or a combo of both, and voicing iconic characters associated with blue, such as Dewey, Leonardo, and Sonic. His ''WesternAnimation/BojackHorseman'' character wears a blue suit as well. |
80 | * UncreditedRole: For ''Film/TransformersAgeOfExtinction'', he voiced Bumblebee through original radio clips he provided, including the famous "I hate cheap knock-offs." line. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qQwL2b4UEGU&t=8349s The man himself confirms the story]] on ''WebVideo/GameGrumps'' in May 2023, nearly nine years after the movie's release. |
