Hank Azaria has voiced Apu Nahasapeemapetilon for nearly 31 years and has aged in the role like a fine wine.He is part of the reason so many people including myself love the character.He is a part, Maybe even the biggest part of what makes Apu Apu.Hank Azaria has added so much passion and love to the character making Apu fell like a real person you would be able to talk to and everyone can relate to regardless of race,gender or who you chose to love.If someone else is Apu he just won't be Apu.
