Questions about Dauber - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I think Bill Fagerbakke is hilarious as Dauber on Coach. I'm wondering a few things...
How tall is this man? I read that Craig T. Nelson is 6' 3 1/2 ", and Bill towers over him.
Also, and this may sound like a dumb question, but is that his real voice on the show? I know he does the voiceover for a popular children's show now, but I've never seen it.
Does anyone have any info on his personal life? Is he married, kids?
Has he been in any movies? Can I ask enough questions?

This system automatically blocks out part of his last name....must register as a swear or something.

Thanks a bunch dlemond. Do you know if that's his normal voice on Coach? Hubby says no way...I'm not so sure.

I think it is.. sounds very close to the voice he does on sponge bob.

Thanks. Big guy, big voice I guess. When is SpongeBob on--Saturday mornings? He does the voice of SpongeBob, right? I'd like to give it a listen.

Big Coach Fan · 11-10-2002, 06:37 PM

I think its actually Sponge Bobs buddys voice.. Ive only seen it once but it sounds similar

Brian Damage · 11-18-2002, 04:35 PM

He's the voice of SpongeBob's best friend, Patrick Star. Spongebob is on every morning, I think around 8:30am. Patrick is the pink starfish with the green Bermuda shorts. Jan, I think you'd actually like the cartoon because I find it hysterical. It's got alot of adult references in it that makes it good. You should definitely check it out.

Here's a photo of his character:

Thanks. I'll check my listings and give it a try. So, do you think that Dauber's voice is Bill Fa gerbakke's real voice?

Brian Damage · 11-18-2002, 05:25 PM

I think he tweaks it a little bit to make the character of Dauber sound a little slow. However, I have seen interviews with him and that is his voice for the most part.

If you watch the pilot episode, you'll hear Bill talking in his normal voice. It was later that they decided to have him tweak it and make it sound raspier and deeper for the dumb effect.

I guess I'll have my chance to see episode 1 soon as they're starting the episodes over again. Die Nick-at-Nite.

Kidding, it will be good to hear Bill talking in his normal voice.

Big Coach Fan · 12-17-2002, 10:41 AM

Yeah I remember that too.. I remember saying hey his voice isn't quite as deep.

He was also the sadistic guard on "OZ" who was eventually killed by Beecher.

That, I would just love to see. I can't even imagine Bill Fagerbakke playing a bad guy. He's just Dauber to me. I watch all the HBO shows, but never got into OZ because I'm not a fan of prison dramas. They make me nervous.
Maybe someday I can catch this episode in a rerun.
