The Simpsons star Hank Azaria was scared into taking out insurance for his vocal cords after realising how much of his income depended on his voice acting gigs.
Azaria helps bring to life a string of characters on the longrunning animated series, including Moe Szyslak, Chief Wiggum, and Duffman, while he also previously enjoyed voice roles on Family Guy, Bordertown, and Mack & Moxy, among other shows.
However, it took a health scare a few years ago to make the actor recognise just how vital it was for him to protect his vocals physically and financially, because he would struggle to maintain his career if he could no longer hold onto the lucrative jobs.
