Bill Nighy's director criticised him for using funny voices.
The actor voices Dr. Elefun in animated movie 'Astro Boy' and admits he was reprimanded for experimenting with different vocal sounds when looking for an identity for the character.
He said: "You just go with your own instincts. In this case, I came in with a lot of funny voices, and I did them for a while. And then Dave Bowers, the director, after a suitable time had passed, said, 'Please, could you stop doing that now?' I said, 'Oh, all right.' He said, 'Your voice is what we wanted.'
"I'm not being naïve or coy or modest, or anything. But I always forget, and - you know, you never think of your voice like that. You just think, 'Oh, well, it's my voice.' I don't think about my voice until somebody mentions it. But I'm please if people do like it."
Meanwhile, Bill is hoping to reprise his role of Davy Jones in the fourth 'Pirates of the Caribbean' movie.
He told Dark Horizons: "I hope so. I really do. I mean, I met Geoffrey Rush the other day, and he and I were both saying - we had a wonderful time, not least, with him, because he's such a nice man, and such a good actor. We'd love to be in it.
"I'd love to be in it. I'd love to be in 'Pirates', because it was a great experience to be in the first lot. And - you know, those movies are beloved. It's nice to make people happy."
