Fox Made Bob’s Burgers Change The Gender Of A Fan-Favourite Belcher People Member

Within the interview, Bouchard defined that he had concepts about who the characters can be based totally upon their tonality actors, however that Fox pros made some notes that ended in Dan Mintz being the tonality of the Tina Belcher all of us now know and love:

“I’ve worked with Jon Benjamin who plays Bob for over 20 years. I’ve only ever done shows with Jon in them, I don’t even want to know what it’s like to do a show without him. I knew I wanted him as the dad and we built the family around him. I knew that John Roberts, who plays Linda, could do that voice, and that Kristen Schaal should be Louise. I’ve always wanted to work with her, I knew she would be an incredible little girl. Eugene Mirman, the voice of Gene, is an actor who again I’ve been working with for a long time, I knew he would be great. The only person I didn’t know was Dan Mintz. Jon Benjamin recommended him, saying, ‘you’ve really got to hear this guys voice, it’s so funny,’ and we cast him as Tina. Although originally we cast him as a boy, it was only after the pilot episode and Fox’s feedback that we realized the character wasn’t quite there. So we kept the voice and actor, but changed the gender. He was thrilled!”

Tina is a 13-year-old woman who loves horses and writing fanfiction about her buddies, and there’s one thing remaining hilarious about her having the tonality of an grownup guy that hasn’t truly been changed in any respect. It’s deep, it’s awkward, and it’s very best.
