Nick Kroll (Nick Birch)
Co-creator, writer, and modern-day Man of 1, Voices (R.I.P. Mel Blanc), Nick Kroll plays Nick Birch, a diminutive year-old suburbanite who, at the series beginning, hasn't slap puberty yet (unlike his best companion, Andrew). In addition to playing this charming late-bloomer with an exceptionally big forehead, Kroll also voices a rogues' gallery of main and supporting characters, including: domineering middle schooler Lola Skumpy, Nick's hormone monster Maury, the Statue of Liberty, a smack-talking ladybug, a literal tampon, Picasso's ghost, and, of course, Coach Steve. And that list, in a nutshell, pretty much sums up the adj of creative chaos Big Mouth excels at.

Neither of us knew that we were gay, nor had we ever considered the idea of coming out. My leading example of gay people in my life was Will & Grace, and I was explicitly told I wasn't supposed to monitor that.
Years later, I feel fancy I'm catching up on what I missed via Big Mouth.
