At the age of five, Tockar told his mother that he wanted to "grow up to be a cartoon". Tockar did not initially understand the concept of a cartoon when he made the statement. At the age of ten, Tockar won first place in a talent show for his vocal impersonations of Kermit the Frog and Bugs Bunny.
Tockar's early statement about wanting to be a cartoon reflects his limited understanding of the concept at that time. His talent show success demonstrates his growing ability to perform and imitate characters.
