My Take
What I admire most about Mr. Lawrence is the paradox of his fame: almost nobody could pick his face out of a crowd, yet his voice as Sheldon J. Plankton lives rent-free in millions of childhoods. To me that is the purest form of craft. He is not just a performer either; as a writer and animator on Rocko's Modern Life and SpongeBob, he helped build the very worlds he voices. I find that kind of behind-the-curtain triple-threat far more interesting than on-camera celebrity. Born in 1969 in New Jersey, he is the sort of quiet architect of pop culture I always want to applaud.
