They didn't do enough research because Brain is absolutely inspired by Orson Welles. His voice is a direct impersonation of him haha. In season 4 they even spoofed a famous outtake of Welles narrating a commercial for frozen peas.

Maurice LaMarche’s performance as Brain was inspired by Orson Welles, but this article is about the initial inspiration for the characters of Pinky and the Brain.
