Jon Lovitz was
born July 21, 1957 in Tarzana, California. He got his start on
the sketch show "Saturday Night Live" in 1985 to 1990. After
that he was in movies such as "Big", "A League of Their Own", "Coneheads",
and "Fievel Goes West".
In 1994 Al Jean and Mike Reiss, both veterans of The Simpsons
approached Jon with a role on their new animated series entitled
"The Critic". Lovitz starred in the show as small-time city
film-critic Jay |
Sherman. In 1995,
Jon voiced Jay Sherman for the season 6 episode A Star Is Burns
(2F31). While this publicity stunt could not ultimately save The
Critic, it did help squeeze out a little more life. After The
Critic Jon appeared in the cult TV show "Newsradio"; and movies
such as "The Wedding Singer", "Matilda", and "Little Nicky".
In addition to voicing Jay
Sherman, Lovitz lent his voice talents to our very own Artie
Ziff! He was also the voice of Aristotle Amandopolis in Homer
Defined (8F04), Professor Lombardo in Brush With Greatness
(7F18), and Llewelyn Sinclair in A Streetcar Named Marge (8F18).
Lovitz's most recent appearance
on The Simpsons was in The Ziff Who Came To Dinner (FABF08);
which surprisingly featured not one, not two, but all of his
characters.
Today Jon Lovitz is an
established actor, comedian, and voice talent. |
