I was thinking about Cat & Dogs, Garfield, Shrek and the Aristocats, but no D people in any of them. Direct question, if you please

Dom Deluise did the voice for Tiger, the vegetarian cat who befriends Fievel in _An American Tail_. Such a cute movie. 🙂 (even though I think Don Bluth is a hack)

Are you currently active as a movie star?

ETA: And yes, it pleases me very much 😃

Yes, I suppose I am (I’m not retired from acting, if that’s what you meant)

ETA : OK, maybe a clarification is needed : I have indeed starred in two or more Hollywood movies, which technically makes me a movie star. I may not be described as such by most people.

Did you change your name to a Dutch variant so that people would stop calling you “Billy?”

Does your best friend have blue skin and the girl you love share her name with a condiment?

Is your best friend an invisible rabbit?

The US cartoon character Doug, whose best friend, Skeeter, had blue skin (unusual skin color being normal in the Doug 'verse) and his love was named Patty Mayonnaise.

DQ: Were your well-known Hollywood films made within the last 10 years?

WormTheRed\*\*, I love you dearly. More and more with each passing day.

I begin to worry that it isn’t totally platonic. 😉

Oh, here’s another IQ:

Is your best friend a _friendly/nonbatshit-insane_ invisible rabbit?

Well, stop, you’re making me _blush_

But let’s keep it platonic, shall we 😉

Another IQ: Are you a slightly messed up doctor?

Allright, let’s see

I am not Daffy Duck  
I am not Puff Daddy, P.Diddy, Puffy or whatever the fuck he’s been calling himself the last 5 minutes  
I am not Elwood P. Dowd (googled it, but now I want to see that)  
I am not Dr. Dre (hey, he \*is \*messed up !)

My well known Hollywood films were indeed made in the last 10 years (11 if you count 2009 as a real year)

Dr “JD” Dorian from Scrubs.

And I think Puffy is actually calling himself Sean Combs these days.

DQ: Are you mostly known as a singer?

IQ: Have you played Asterix, a Musketeer and Cyrano de Bergerac?  
IQ: A you the latest brit-pop phenomenon?
