Show Notes
Peter Serfinowicz has one of the most envious CVs in comedy: South Park, Shaun of The Dead, Star Wars, Guardians Of The Galaxy, John Wick, The Tick, Alan Partridge, Rick & Morty, The Simpsons, as well as creating his own iconic characters such as Brian Butterfield. In this episode we get into his early ability to mimic, his ADHD, the influence of Spike Milligan and how he went from a council estate in Liverpool as a Star Wars obsessed kid who later went on to fulfill his dream and land the role as the voice of Darth Maul in Episode 1: The Phantom Menace (Something he describes as being the biggest disappointment of his life!).
We also get into why he fell in love with Eric Idle's The Rutles before getting into The Beatles.
