Hopper interview 1998

"I've always admired animation and was sort of a Saturday-morning cartoon kid," says Kevin Spacey, the voice of Hopper. Little did Spacey know that recording the voice of the manipulative and menacing Hopper would be so strenuous. "I yell more in this picture than I think I've ever yelled in my life," admits Spacey. "I've certainly gotten angry in other movies, but I blow the roof out in this one."

In real life, Spacey rarely acts like the hot-headed Hopper. "Only when I squish ants," he laughs.

 

HopperOn Hopper: "He's a big, bad bug. When he starts his wings up and flies away, it sounds like he's riding a Harley!"

Buggin' His Sister: "As a kid, I wasn't really into bugs. I only collected bugs to creep my sister out - I'd take a bug and put it in her bed. But every brother has done that."
