9 Things You Didn T Know About Sausage Party S Nick Kroll

Okay, so we all saw Sausage Party. Right? It was... a lot. Funny. Shocking. Definitely not for the faint of heart. And front and center, bringing so many of those delightfully unhinged characters to life, was the brilliant Nick Kroll. You know, the guy who can sound like a potato with a drug problem one minute and a desperate, shower-dwelling condiment the next. But beyond his uncanny ability to voice our deepest, weirdest food-related anxieties, there’s more to Nick Kroll than meets the animated eye. Here are 9 things you might not have known about the man behind the mayhem.

He's a Master of Voices

Seriously. His vocal range is insane. It’s not just for Sausage Party. Think about Big Mouth. He plays a ton of characters there too. The puberty monsters? That’s him. The awkwardness? All Nick. He can shift from one voice to another seamlessly. It’s like a vocal chameleon, but way funnier. You’d think he’d get a sore throat constantly, but no, he just keeps on going. Impressive, right?

He's Been in Other Stuff You've Probably Seen

While Sausage Party might be his most… memorable animated role for some, Nick Kroll has a pretty extensive resume. He was in that show The League. He played a character named Bobby. Remember him? The guy who was always kind of a mess? Yeah, that was Kroll. He’s also popped up in movies like This Is 40 and even had a role in a recent Marvel flick, though you might not have recognized him. He’s a working actor, and a good one!

He's a Big Comedy Nerd

This might not be a shocker, but Kroll is deeply passionate about comedy. He grew up watching and studying it. You can see that love in everything he does. It’s not just about the jokes; it’s about the craft. He’s influenced by so many great comedians, and you can tell he respects the art form. He doesn't just wing it; he puts in the work. And it shows!

His Dad Was a Big Deal

This is a little more random, but true! Nick Kroll’s father, Jerome Kroll, was a pretty influential businessman. He actually founded a company called Kroll Inc., which was a big player in risk consulting and investigations. So, while Nick was out there making us laugh with talking hot dogs, his dad was out there, you know, doing… important business stuff. Kind of a cool contrast, don’t you think?

He Loves Improv

You can’t be that good at improvising characters without a love for it. Kroll is a big fan of improv comedy. He’s performed with various troupes and it’s clear that that spontaneity is a huge part of his creative process. It’s that "yes, and..." attitude that makes his characters feel so alive, even when they’re, you know, baked goods. It’s the magic of thinking on your feet.

He Co-Created Big Mouth

This is a huge one. Big Mouth is practically his baby. He didn’t just voice characters; he helped create the entire world of that show. He and his co-creators wanted to talk about puberty in a way that was honest, hilarious, and maybe a little bit terrifying. And they absolutely nailed it. The show is a critical darling, and it's all thanks to the vision of people like Nick Kroll. It’s a show that tackles awkwardness head-on.

He's Not Afraid to Get Weird

Sausage Party is proof of that. But even beyond that, Kroll’s comedy often pushes boundaries. He’s not interested in playing it safe. He’s willing to explore the absurd, the uncomfortable, and the downright strange. And honestly, that’s what makes his work so refreshing. We need more people willing to dive headfirst into the weirdness. He embraces it wholeheartedly.

He Used to Be on a Sketch Show

Before he was a full-blown voice-acting king and co-creator extraordinaire, Nick Kroll had his own sketch comedy show called Kroll Show. It was short-lived but brilliant. It had these recurring characters and sketches that were so funny and so specific. Think about "Oh, Hello," the "Puber-Me" sketches, and all the other hilarious bits. It was a fantastic showcase for his talent.

He's Got a Surprising Musical Talent

Okay, maybe not like, Grammy-winning musical talent, but Kroll can sing! And not just a little bit. In Sausage Party, he sings a few numbers. And in Kroll Show, he would sometimes incorporate musical bits. It's not his main thing, obviously, but it's another layer to his impressive comedic toolkit. It’s a little unexpected, but hey, the man’s got range. Literally.
