Sergeant Mike Cosgrove

Sergeant Mike Cosgrove is a character from the Freakazoid series.
== Charactah Account ==
Cosgrove is a heavyset, gruff cop with a heart of gold, who is friends with Freakazoid and several other characters.
Cosgrove is a cop who seems curmudgeonly on the surface, but underneath he has the same irreverent interests as Freakazoid. He also acts as a mentor to Freakazoid, offering sound advice, though often non-committal (he often adds the phrase "That's what I'd do, but that's just me" to all pieces of advice).
Cosgrove and Freakazoid have a deep friendship based on his offering to take Freakazoid somewhere fun and interesting (even in the middle of a mission) and Freakazoid accepting.

== Trivia ==
* John P. McCann wrote Cosgrove into "Dance of Doom," intending for him to be a one-time character. Paul Rugg liked the character so much that he brought him back for "Candle Jack," and the writers continued the running joke in future episodes.
* Ed Asner initially tried to emote too much in early recording sessions. The writers told him to do the lines without inflection, and Cosgrove's trademark voice was born.
* Cosgrove looks almost exactly like his voice actor, Ed Asner. In fact, in "Candle Jack," Freakazoid breaks character and acknowledges several of the actors. Ed Asner is depicted as himself, in Cosgrove's costume, sitting in a make-up chair. In contrast to his in-character performance as Cosgrove, Asner seems somewhat aggravated by Freakazoid.
* In "In Arms Way," Freakazoid plans to buy Cosgrove a three-foot-tall chocolate moose with fudge eyes for Christmas. Cosgrove suggests that Freakazoid get Steff something a girl would like, such as banjo lessons or a new turban. In "Virtual Freak," he recommends that Steff get her father cement or a new theater organ.
* Cosgrove's first name is revealed in "Mission: Freakazoid."
* Ed Asner also provided several recurring voices for Warner Bros. Animation's DC Comics-inspired series: Roland Daggett in Batman, Granny Goodness in Superman, and Hephaestus in Justice League Unlimited. He also voiced Vern the bear in the Animaniacs short "Garage Sale of the Century," and played the role of Hudson on Freakazoid!'s contemporary series (and favorite spoof target) Gargoyles. The Pinky, Elmyra & the Brain episode "Pinky's Dream House" has a running joke about the mice watching a toy TV with a photo of Ed Asner taped to it.
