Hits, misses mark Hank Azaria’s career

Hank Azaria stars in the new romantic comedy series “Free Agents,” previewing Wednesday at 10:30 p.m. on NBC. He’s had a long TV career, which has included the offbeat Showtime drama “Huff,” memorable guest turns on “Friends” and “Mad About You,” and these five:

The Simpsons (1989- ): He’s provided the voices of convenience-store owner Apu, bartender Moe and police chief Wiggum, among others.

Herman’s Head (1991-94): On this Fox comedy, he played Jay, the womanizing pal of the title character (William Ragsdale). Jay became involved with a woman played by Yeardley Smith — yep, the voice of Lisa Simpson.

If Not for You (1995): This romantic comedy, in which Azaria played a record producer who fell for someone else’s fianc e, lasted three episodes.

Stressed Eric (1998): Cartoon in which Azaria voiced the worn-down-by-life title character, a divorced dad living in London. Lasted two weeks.

Imagine That (2002): This NBC comedy was also a two-week wonder: Azaria played a TV comedy writer who incorporated his marital woes into the show’s skits.
