Early life
Brochu came from a single parent family and has asthma, both of which he has in common with his character Buster Baxter on Arthur.[3] He had worked as a postal carrier prior to becoming an actor. Brochu got into acting after one of his teacher’s wives, who had done dubbing, inspired him to become an actor. He credits Mel Blanc and his mentor Tim Reid for inspiration.[4]
Career
Brochu is best known for voicing Buster Baxter in the PBS TV series Arthur[5] and its spin-off Postcards from Buster, as well as Danny Pickett in later seasons of What's with Andy?.
