Yes I’m aware that he wasn’t actually voiced by Stephen Hawking, but even as a child I understood the portrayal.

Even Stephen Hawking wasn’t voiced by Stephen Hawking. He used a computer.

I didn't. This is where I found out who he was. As a kid I obviously understood the Willy wonka parody but I had no idea who this weird floating robot man was. Why not use Bill Gates? Everyone knows who Bill Gates is. Did they make up this weird character? A few years later I saw actual Stephen Hawking on the news and was like, "Ooooooooooh."

I’m dumb as a hammer, but even Hawking was famous enough to make it to pop cloture. I’m not going to say I was a fan of his work but he made enough appearances here and there to make me feel I’ll miss him.
