Biography
Edit
When he was first hired to voice Simba, Broderick believed that he was in fact working on a remake of Kimba the White Lion since he was familiar with the Japanese anime show. He later reprized his role as Simba in The Lion King II: Simba's Pride and The Lion King 1½.
After working on The Lion King, Broderick became quick friends with his co-star Nathan Lane, whom he also co-starred with in The Producers stage musical from 2001 to 2002. Later, in 2005, they starred again in the movie adaptation of the musical.
