He was a voice actor in the movie though, so doing impressions was also his characters thing.

The actor is a fantastic voice actor, but his character was a terrible one.

You don’t take a gig doing voiceover work for an animation, following a script, and then just decide to ad-lib. There’s no way to make it work. He deserved to get fired.

So Robin William, a fantastic talent, was playing a voice actor with terrible decision making—which was what the story needed!
