Animatronio

Animatronio turns up as one of the parade of odd, single-episode faces that populate the Futurama universe — a minor figure whose name hints at something built rather than born, dropped into the show's sprawling background of robots, aliens and future-New-New-York eccentrics without much fanfare.

David Herman is one of Futurama's great utility voices, capable of sliding into a small part and giving it a distinct texture without stealing focus from the leads. Even a passing character benefits from that kind of vocal specificity, the sense that someone thought carefully about how this odd little name should sound out loud.
