I grew up with baseball I played in Little League and went to games with my dad. But I, as I grew up, became more of a basketball fanatic than a baseball one.
Jonah Hill

Luckily with animation, they give you a lot more leeway than a live-action show.

I'm a different actor than you thought I was. Don't put me in a box. I'm not just some kid running around screaming curse words.
