Voice actor John DiMaggio recently revealed which scene was his favorite to play Bender in the beloved animated sci-fi series, Futurama.
While promoting his upcoming animated film Batman: Death in the Family, DiMaggio shared his favorite scene of voicing Bender during an interview with CBR.
DiMaggio's favorite moment occurred in Season 2, Episode 7, entitled "A Head in the Polls." In the episode, Bender and his best friend Philip J. Fry staged their own break-in of the Watergate Hotel in Washington, D.C. "There's a quote that I love saying and it's a great line," DiMaggio told CBR. "There's a scene early on the series when Bender and Fry are walking up along the side of a building a la Batman 66 outside on a rope and Bender goes, 'Hey, get a room you two!' And the guy inside goes, 'We're in a room!' And Bender goes, 'Well, lose some weight!' It's one of my favorite, early-on insults from Bender. He's the best!"
In the Futurama television series, DiMaggio voiced the robot character Bender Bending Rodriguez, who was often belligerent, sedating his disdain for organic life with a whole host of vices and sarcasm. DiMaggio voiced Bender for all seven seasons of Futurama and the character's guest appearance in a crossover episode on The Simpsons.
Created by Matt Groening, Futurama stars Billy West, Katey Sagal, John DiMaggio, Tress MacNeille, Maurice LaMarche, Phil LaMarr, Lauren Tom, David Herman and Frank Welker. The series is currently available to stream on Hulu.
