Tom Kenny brings SpongeBob voice back to Syracuse

Even as a 6-year-old growing up in East Syracuse, Tom Kenny dreamed of being a “voice-over god.” He worked stand-up and wrote sketch comedy for years, but didn’t perform his first voice-over until he was 30. “You start to wonder if you’re delusional or crazy, maybe I just suck at this,” Kenny said. “Whatever you want to do in life will kick you in the nards occasionally, and you gotta pick yourself up.”
