I love all the the fact that he kept all the fanart of himself as squidward that fans have given him.

TheRastaRican 2001 what's even better is that you can consider it part of Gavin's character study for Squidward, since Squidward would definitely put up fanart of himself if he had any

@blah7983 3 жыл бұрын

@@FreakinSweet1987 The creators of the show wanted the actors to act, look, and sound recognizable but not exact. Spongebob doesnt laugh the same way for example, he chuckles in the show. Squidward keeps the nasally quality but not necessarily the rest. I wish they kept Patrick’s vowel pronunciation though because they didn’t and its important for the character. They actually start out doing more of an impression and then go into their “normal” registers as the show progressed

Sometimes people can be grouchy and they just wanna do their own things before they see or speak to anyone. I’m like Squidward sometimes. Sometimes I can be grouchy and sarcastic

Broadway has it's perks from what I see in the Spongebob live the emotions you see can make you relate to them especially Squidward and Gavin Lee has done an AMAZING work as Squidward wish I had got to actually see them live instead of on TV but still watching the whole live event was just beautiful and one of the best live plays I have seen so far.

When I first saw a clip of him performing "I'm Not A Loser" a few months ago (back before Broadway Preview week), I squealed, "That's Bert from Mary Poppins! Oh-My-Word!" I later commented the same thing on one of Mr. Lee's Instagram posts, and he liked it before (I get excited just thinking about this) he FOLLOWED me!
