Luigi as Wes Weasley? (not making this up at all)

While trying to find out who did the characters, I was fooling about listening to animation demos (which use scenes from cartoons) and found something shocking.

Apparently, Wes Weasley (the salesman) has 5 voices!

James Rankin (aka Cheatsy (Larry) Koopa from Mario cartoons)

Tony Rosato (Luigi!)

and of course his final voice that we hear on TV.

In case you want to know F-T-A was the prototype name for the salesman company that was slipped into The Magic Hassle episode in the flashback (it is hard to see) which stands for Fool Proof-Trapping-Appliances instead of HDSVADL (Handy Dandy Super Villian Appilances Distribution Ltd) in Birth of a Salesman.

Can we say prototype voices?
