American actor and producer Hank Azaria shared a special message to ‘The Birdcage’ fans in a 12 March video posted to his Instagram.
Assuming his iconic character from the film, Agador Spartacus, Azaria gave a message to followers wearing a copy of Agador’s muscle tank, a cropped white number printed with “Straight Looking.”
Azaria then went on to reveal the Guatemalan character’s accent was inspired by his maternal grandmother, Esther. He then paid tribute to other late loved ones, namely Nichols, Williams, and the recently deceased Gene Hackman, who also starred in the film.
Remarking that it’s unbelievable to him the ‘The Birdcage’ celebrates its 30th anniversary this month, Azaria went on to end the video by paying homage to Agador’s beloved line about not wearing shoes.
