00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:55,000
Speaker 1: minding me. So, for those who don't know, when you

34
00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:57,880
Speaker 1: auditioned for a sitcom, a TV show, audition for the

35
00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:00,440
Speaker 1: casting director, they like you. They bring it for doucers,

36
00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:02,000
Speaker 1: they like it, they bring it for the network, and

37
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:04,760
Speaker 1: the network is like the final you know, the final thing.

38
00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:07,720
Speaker 1: And I read for the show called Almost Home, produced

39
00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:11,920
Speaker 1: by Michael Jacobs, and it was down between me and

40
00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:19,040
Speaker 1: some guy named Wilfredell from Connecticut, and I remember and

41
00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:21,680
Speaker 1: shallow strong, and I remember being in the and um,

42
00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:25,280
Speaker 1: you know, pool nervous, trying to get the lay of

43
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:30,360
Speaker 1: the land, especially like network reads are always like so horrifying.

44
00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:32,680
Speaker 1: You're in a room and the and the executives are

45
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:36,240
Speaker 1: like behind a big window back late, you can't see anybody.

46
00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:39,320
Speaker 1: So it's the worst. Then when I see this kid

47
00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:42,280
Speaker 1: from from Connecticut's walking around's like, wow, who said, Oh

48
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:45,400
Speaker 1: my god, that Perry King from Riptide sparking Riptide like

49
00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:48,280
Speaker 1: you're just so like fish out of water. It's like

50
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:57,240
Speaker 1: he's adorable. I'm gonna put a stop to him for momentarily.

51
00:02:57,280 --> 00:03:00,239
Speaker 1: Momentarily I booked that we did this season. And then

52
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:02,320
Speaker 1: Michael Jacobs went on to do Boy Meets World. And

53
00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:04,560
Speaker 1: then the same thing happened got down between you and

54
00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:08,440
Speaker 1: me and Shiloh again again. Uh and and then and

55
00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:13,760
Speaker 1: justifiably appropriately for their booked the role of Eric. But

56
00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:16,960
Speaker 1: then that night, so by coincidence, so like, because because

57
00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:18,880
Speaker 1: Will was from out of town, like they flew him in.

58
00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:22,000
Speaker 1: They put him up at the Universal Hilton by Universal Studios,

59
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:24,160
Speaker 1: and to cheer me up, my friends, because they knew

60
00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:26,200
Speaker 1: I didn't book this job, they took me to Universal

61
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:29,440
Speaker 1: Studios and it was buddy. It was by chance because

62
00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:32,440
Speaker 1: I went up a very precarious way that that big

63
00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:35,600
Speaker 1: hill up lancershim. You were walking down lankershim, and I

64
00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:38,640
Speaker 1: recognized you instantly, and as we approaching, I turned my

65
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:40,520
Speaker 1: friends like, hey, look, this is the prick that's still

66
00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:45,040
Speaker 1: my job. And we were friends every friends extended my hand,

67
00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:46,960
Speaker 1: we had a laugh, and then uh and then friends

72
00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:00,440
Speaker 1: He absolutely it's like his favorite story. And then he said,

73
00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:05,080
Speaker 1: was your favorite thing. But what's interesting is, and it's

74
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:07,160
Speaker 1: something that I've never done before because I've never had

75
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:12,240

Speaker 1: to you right off the bat. What jumps into your

00:05:56,760 --> 00:05:58,719
Speaker 1: head when you hear that? When when when you say that,

110
00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:00,400
Speaker 1: What are the things that matter to you more? When

111
00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:03,200
Speaker 1: I was a kid, I was a huge Transformers fan,

112
00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:05,080
Speaker 1: like huge, like that was my obsession. I had all

113
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:07,960
Speaker 1: the action figures, I loved the cartoon, and I knew

114
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:09,920
Speaker 1: all the voices were. I mean, I recognized you, Frank

115
00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:12,680
Speaker 1: Welco was, and and then all those cats. And I

116
00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:15,400
Speaker 1: would record it on tapes and take it to school

117
00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:16,880
Speaker 1: and play, and me and my friends would sit outside

118
00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:19,960
Speaker 1: of recess and listen to the audio tapes of Transformers.

119
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:23,560
Speaker 1: So years later, I worked on a Transformer show and

120
00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:26,599
Speaker 1: I get to play like a human. Steve Bloom was

121
00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:28,800
Speaker 1: my bot heat Wave, and I was a fireman and

122
00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:31,000
Speaker 1: he was the fire truck. And I'm working the cartoon

123
00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:33,240
Speaker 1: and then and then uh, Peter Collin, who's a voice

124
00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:37,000
Speaker 1: of Optimist Prime he returns as Optimist Prime, and he

125
00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:38,880
Speaker 1: doesn't work with us. I think he's he's got his

126
00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:40,480
Speaker 1: own things to do, you know, he is. I'm ranching

127
00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:42,720
Speaker 1: Montana for crying out loud. But I would show up

128
00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:46,080
Speaker 1: early so I could meet I've never met him, and uh,

129
00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:49,480
Speaker 1: he's like a little taller than me, very unassuming, very

130
00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:52,280
Speaker 1: soft spoken guy. And uh and I and I went

131
00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:55,920
Speaker 1: into the booth, the recording booth to listen to him

132
00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:58,520
Speaker 1: do his thing, and he starts talking like Optimist Prime,

133
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:02,360
Speaker 1: and I still like jettison back into my twelve year

134
00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:04,680
Speaker 1: old self, crying like a tears account of my eyes

135
00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:07,920
Speaker 1: and being part of that was outstanding. Plus. I don't

136
00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:09,560
Speaker 1: know if you guys have had this, but of the

137
00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:12,280
Speaker 1: many projects I've worked on, I've never worked on a

138
00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:15,559
Speaker 1: show where the cast and the crew get along so hard.

139
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:18,240
Speaker 1: We still to this day share a text thread and

140
00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:20,680
Speaker 1: are always wistful about the experiences we had working together

141
00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:23,920
Speaker 1: because it was a great blend of of seasoned voiceover performers,

142
00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:26,720
Speaker 1: new voiceover performers people have known for a long time,

143
00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:30,200
Speaker 1: new friends. It was such a special special show and

144
00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:32,240
Speaker 1: being a fan is as part of it. Now, this

145
00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:35,920
Speaker 1: is Rescue boats. This is yes, and that what you

146
00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:38,000
Speaker 1: worked on as well. I did well. I came on

147
00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:40,120
Speaker 1: as as Bumblebee for just a guest start, but you

148
00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:42,560
Speaker 1: guys went for I mean, what was like five seasons.

149
00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:44,840
Speaker 1: You guys just kept going. We we did four seasons

150
00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:47,040
Speaker 1: that we were doing so good at Hasbro loved us

151
00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:49,120
Speaker 1: so much they picked us up for a fifth season,

152
00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:53,040
Speaker 1: but then recast us with non union actors. Ah, the industry,

153
00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:56,280
Speaker 1: the industry, Yeah, your fans wanted about this stuff, right

154
00:07:57,160 --> 00:07:59,640
Speaker 1: of course, sure, yeah, we do. And I think people

155
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:02,720
Speaker 1: him that, you know, well, I don't actually know if

156
00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:07,720
Speaker 1: people assume this, but being in the industry on for

157
00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:10,800
Speaker 1: exactly in front of the camera, people think, oh, well,

158
00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:13,000
Speaker 1: your guys, you're really related to one another and you're

159
00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:17,040
Speaker 1: really best friends in real life. And I would think

160
00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:20,480
Speaker 1: that when you think about casts that are just in

161
00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:22,240
Speaker 1: front of a microphone, you're like, well, you don't really

162
00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:25,680
Speaker 1: get to meet one another. Unfortunately with Kim that was

163
00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:27,640
Speaker 1: that was the case because I was in New York.

164
00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:29,560
Speaker 1: But I know you got to, you know, hang with

165
00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:32,960
Speaker 1: Lisa and the crew, um, you know, when we were

166
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:34,679
Speaker 1: at l A Studios and a lot of times when

167
00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:36,040
Speaker 1: I would go to l A studios. If I was

168
00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:38,559
Speaker 1: in town, I would see other actors, which was very

169
00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:41,080
Speaker 1: exciting as well to see people and to meet them

170
00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:43,240
Speaker 1: and just try to chat. And they always try to

171
00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:45,680
Speaker 1: put a face to a name with me. But you

172
00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:49,079
Speaker 1: that's amazing that you can still remain friends with everybody

173
00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:52,280
Speaker 1: like that. To have a text chain going, it is unique.

174
00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:54,400
Speaker 1: And you know, we hung out for dinner afterwards. We

175
00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:56,240
Speaker 1: just because usually you know, you go to a gig

176
00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:58,960
Speaker 1: and then you know, it's California, no matter what. Yeah,

177
00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:01,000
Speaker 1: part of the city or in Bourbon, you know, Venice,

178
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:02,360
Speaker 1: You're like, you want to get home when you're done.

179
00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:04,920
Speaker 1: But we all it was it was a perfect location.

180
00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:08,720
Speaker 1: It was Salami in Studio City and the studio one

181
00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:11,199
Speaker 1: that's a good studio. Yes, And we'd all go to

182
00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:14,679
Speaker 1: a Mommy Burger afterwards or somewhere, and you know, we

183
00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:16,760
Speaker 1: compete like who's picked up the check this time? And

184
00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:21,120
Speaker 1: we got fond with your voiceover cast? How does that happen?

185
00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:25,840
Speaker 1: Just over jokes, over identifying characters? Do you do relate

186
00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:27,719
Speaker 1: to your do you find ways of relating to your

187
00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:30,520
Speaker 1: character that then sort of like like you really are

188
00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:32,480
Speaker 1: best friends in real life? You know, it's funny you

189
00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:34,440
Speaker 1: mentioned that. I think it's because, like I mentioned before,

190
00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:36,880
Speaker 1: it was a it was this perfect blend of like

191
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:41,280
Speaker 1: newbies and seasoned. He's like Maurice La Marsh, Lacy Shubert,

192
00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:45,880
Speaker 1: uh and then we dc yeah news we nobody's ever

193
00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:48,240
Speaker 1: heard of them, nobody's heard of Marie La Marshall. I

194
00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:50,840
Speaker 1: mean award multi Emmy Award winning Maurice La marsh That

195
00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:55,320
Speaker 1: we had guys like uh, Marii Williams, Shanna McCain, Parveschina.

196
00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:58,120
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, and I'll say I mentioned Steve Blum was

197
00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:00,360
Speaker 1: one of the season guys. ParvE is not just standing.

198
00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:02,800
Speaker 1: I love him. Yes, and our director. I don't know

199
00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:05,160
Speaker 1: if you're gonna talk with directors, but Jenny McSwain, who

200
00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:08,960
Speaker 1: was one of my favorites because she's no BS and

201
00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:12,800
Speaker 1: doesn't give you line readings. She challenges you. Um and

202
00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:15,520
Speaker 1: and because that no BS, it could be terrifying to

203
00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:18,160
Speaker 1: new bets. But those of us are used to like, yeah,

204
00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:19,920
Speaker 1: give it to me, give it to me. So I said,

205
00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:21,679
Speaker 1: a lot of a lot of the newbies kind of

206
00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:27,240
Speaker 1: looked to us for you know, not affection, but direction

207
00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:31,239
Speaker 1: or is this okay? Is she mad at me validation,

208
00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:33,600
Speaker 1: and we sort of helped encourage them and made them

209
00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:35,839
Speaker 1: feel welcome, and I think because of that, there was

210
00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:38,360
Speaker 1: mutual admiration for all of us because the newbies were outstanding,

211
00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:40,760
Speaker 1: like part of Asians outstanding. He made choices that I

212
00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:43,480
Speaker 1: never would have made before d C. Douglas, who did

213
00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:45,319
Speaker 1: a lot of like commercial stuff, like I couldn't wait

214
00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:46,679
Speaker 1: for him to say his lines. You ever worked with

215
00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:48,559
Speaker 1: someone like that, Like I can't wait to see how

216
00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:52,080
Speaker 1: this person is going to read this. Yeah, yeah, Well

217
00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:54,920
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, that's very sweet. No, but we

218
00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:57,680
Speaker 1: do because we we we have we've talked to So

219
00:10:57,720 --> 00:10:59,920
Speaker 1: we had a great conversation with Lisa Schaefer, who do

220
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:04,520
Speaker 1: acted Kim Possible and you know, every other cartoon out there.

221
00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:06,400
Speaker 1: And one of the things that we always talk about,

222
00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:08,120
Speaker 1: or we we we had the nice talk with Lisa

223
00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:10,880
Speaker 1: about was the difference between recording as an ensemble and

224
00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:16,000
Speaker 1: recording solo and how it just is such a different vibe, uh,

225
00:11:16,040 --> 00:11:18,320
Speaker 1: and how you you miss out in some amazing things.

226
00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:21,680
Speaker 1: She sat there going down the list of actors on

227
00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:24,720
Speaker 1: Kim Possible and Kim Possible was we were basically solo

228
00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:26,920
Speaker 1: recording until I said, I've got to record with somebody else.

229
00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:30,520
Speaker 1: It was Johny DiMaggio and myself, uh and Nicole Sullivan.

230
00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:33,800
Speaker 1: But then she starts listing the actors that were on

231
00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:36,000
Speaker 1: the show that we didn't get to work with, the

232
00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:40,120
Speaker 1: Gene Smart, Ricardo Montalbond, Gary Cole, uh and going down

233
00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:44,200
Speaker 1: this list, and it's like, why does anyone ever choose

234
00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:46,240
Speaker 1: to record solo? And then of course she's like, well,

235
00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:48,360
Speaker 1: it's schedule. I mean, that's really at the end of

236
00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:49,679
Speaker 1: the day. One of the things that comes down to

237
00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:52,960
Speaker 1: is trying to get Nancy Cartwright and Ricardo montal Bond

238
00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:55,280
Speaker 1: in the room at the same time is like herding cats.

239
00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:59,120
Speaker 1: So it's you know, it's yeah, it's it's impossible, and

240
00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:00,640
Speaker 1: you kind of grab them when you can. But I

241
00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:03,160
Speaker 1: guess this is a long winded way of asking, and

242
00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:04,960
Speaker 1: I already know the answer to this, I'm sure. But

243
00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:08,720
Speaker 1: if you have the choice between recording by yourself, busting

244
00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:11,240
Speaker 1: out the job and getting out, or sitting there for

245
00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:13,800
Speaker 1: four or five hours, but you're with an entire ensemble cast,

246
00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:16,040
Speaker 1: which one do you pick? Oh? I mean, no question,

247
00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:19,240
Speaker 1: I do the full cast. I'd stick around as long

248
00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:22,480
Speaker 1: as you can because it's it's the camaraderie, the boisterousness,

249
00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:26,400
Speaker 1: the personalities, voice over actors. It's outstanding. It's always it's

250
00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:28,520
Speaker 1: a good time for like four hours if you're lucky,

251
00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:32,000
Speaker 1: you know, the banter between everyone. I did a my

252
00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:37,200
Speaker 1: first group record for another Transformer show actually over zoom

253
00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:40,439
Speaker 1: because now that's how we record these days, which I'm

254
00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:42,960
Speaker 1: thankful for because I moved to Nashville and now, you know,

255
00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:45,680
Speaker 1: I never get to see you guys anymore. It's it

256
00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:47,840
Speaker 1: was fun working off the other actors, but was missing

257
00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:49,760
Speaker 1: because of it was like zoom. You know, like when

258
00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:51,800
Speaker 1: one person's done, you go on mute. So like when

259
00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:56,719
Speaker 1: everyone's done talking doing their lines, you can't like, hey, well,

260
00:12:56,800 --> 00:12:58,439
Speaker 1: you know, don't you watch you the Batman the other night?

261
00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:01,000
Speaker 1: A Christie Christie you finish, recall sell how your kids?

262
00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:03,600
Speaker 1: You know, you can't have that camaraderie. Yeah, it is.

263
00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:07,920
Speaker 1: It's very it's very disjointed now, which is odd. Um

264
00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:09,959
Speaker 1: hopefully it's getting back to normal, but that seems to

265
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:12,560
Speaker 1: be the nature of the world nowadays. I mean datings

266
00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:14,560
Speaker 1: like that for people where you're dating on apps and

267
00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:16,760
Speaker 1: everybody's on the screen and it's yeah, so it's just

268
00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:19,320
Speaker 1: it's a very strange thing. Um okay, I do have

269
00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:21,280
Speaker 1: one question for you, because I've never heard this story

270
00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:24,520
Speaker 1: and I'm wondering if you can remember it well, you know,

271
00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:26,880
Speaker 1: well enough to walk us through it. Do you remember

272
00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:30,240
Speaker 1: the first ever job you booked and the first ever

273
00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:34,040
Speaker 1: recording session you were in. That's a one, Yes, I do, Yes,

274
00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:36,840
Speaker 1: I do. The first job I booked was a It

275
00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:39,760
Speaker 1: was an industrial film for page Schools. It was the

276
00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:43,080
Speaker 1: first audition ever did either the workshop I went to

277
00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:46,600
Speaker 1: in Irvine it's still there, Delmar Media Arts, and they

278
00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:49,559
Speaker 1: sent me to this audition, booked it on the spot

279
00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:52,760
Speaker 1: and I did, Like it's like pages of dialogue. I

280
00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:54,400
Speaker 1: had to pretend to be a page school kid with

281
00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:56,680
Speaker 1: like the uniform. Everything can talk about how how great

282
00:13:56,720 --> 00:13:58,080
Speaker 1: it is to come to this thing and da da.

283
00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:01,839
Speaker 1: And the first recording session was uh Disney's Adventures of

284
00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:04,360
Speaker 1: the Gummy Bears to when I was twelve, Yeah, twelve

285
00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:06,920
Speaker 1: years old? So Gummy Bears was was the first thing

286
00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:08,880
Speaker 1: you ever did? And who did you play? I played

287
00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:11,800
Speaker 1: one of the Cabins. There was a boy named Cavins,

288
00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:14,920
Speaker 1: a squire who knew the Gummy Bears and I say

289
00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:17,400
Speaker 1: the one of them, because you know what happens to

290
00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:19,960
Speaker 1: kids when they get older, they had voices change. So

291
00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:23,560
Speaker 1: this poor kid out, you know, out voiced hisself and

292
00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:26,080
Speaker 1: I read Ford and I think I was like third one.

293
00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:29,560
Speaker 1: I heard David Faustino was a cabin which I didn't realize,

294
00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:31,800
Speaker 1: but yeah, I was one of the boys, and I

295
00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:33,640
Speaker 1: mean walking into it. And we worked as a group,

296
00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:36,960
Speaker 1: and I'm talking people like Lorenzo Music, the original voice

297
00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:41,280
Speaker 1: of Garfield, June Faray and everyone knows that June Farrey

298
00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:44,200
Speaker 1: what I was. June Farrel was uh, you know, Rocket

299
00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:48,040
Speaker 1: Jay Squirrel and Witchy Pooh and Paul Winchell, the original

300
00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:50,560
Speaker 1: voice of Tigger, who would come in and I'll never

301
00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:53,200
Speaker 1: forget because I stayed afterwards to do school and he

302
00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:57,240
Speaker 1: came in separately and he just nailed every take. And

303
00:14:57,320 --> 00:14:58,920
Speaker 1: I remember being in the in the booth and directors

304
00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:01,400
Speaker 1: to be like just chicken heads, like it's always one

305
00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:03,280
Speaker 1: take for this guy. It's always one take. That's a

306
00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:06,320
Speaker 1: good shot. So wait, you had to do school when

307
00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:08,280
Speaker 1: you were filming that. I didn't know that that was

308
00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:11,280
Speaker 1: a thing. Yeah, even with with voiceover, I still had

309
00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:13,200
Speaker 1: to like show up early to a couple of hours

310
00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:15,960
Speaker 1: or stay after school couple of hours. It was well, yeah,

311
00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:17,640
Speaker 1: never because we all kind of grew up on a

312
00:15:17,640 --> 00:15:20,280
Speaker 1: set school. But I never never heard of it with

313
00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:23,440
Speaker 1: with vo before. What was that like? Was that different

314
00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:26,120
Speaker 1: than the schools or was it the same types of

315
00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:29,480
Speaker 1: set teacher, same type of deal. Yeah, same set teacher.

316
00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:32,120
Speaker 1: May find an office for us and we'd we do

317
00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:33,920
Speaker 1: our school. It was annoying because I didn't want to

318
00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:35,800
Speaker 1: do school. I wanted to be in the booth and

319
00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:39,840
Speaker 1: an act. Yeah, it's honestly, I don't no more. I

320
00:15:39,880 --> 00:15:43,720
Speaker 1: could read talk you're like right through that tour or

321
00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:46,880
Speaker 1: my idols, and I don't need to be thinking about

322
00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:51,800
Speaker 1: what your Yes, I get it, yes, all right. So

323
00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:56,000
Speaker 1: so Gummy Bears was your first one ever? Yeah, your

324
00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:58,640
Speaker 1: first vo ever was Gummy Bears. And then so at

325
00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:01,520
Speaker 1: that point, I mean, did you know you wanted to

326
00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:04,400
Speaker 1: be in that side of the industry, because again it's

327
00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:08,400
Speaker 1: like you didn't. At least for me, I didn't know

328
00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:11,640
Speaker 1: except through you. The idea of doing a voice on

329
00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:15,080
Speaker 1: an animated series was so foreign to me. But at twelve,

330
00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:17,080
Speaker 1: you're already doing these So was this something you knew?

331
00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:18,720
Speaker 1: You wanted to do. I mean, you were kind of

332
00:16:18,760 --> 00:16:22,320
Speaker 1: mimicking the Transformers growing up, but were you like, hey,

333
00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:23,600
Speaker 1: that I know I want to be an actor, but

334
00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:26,120
Speaker 1: I also know I want to be a cartoon voice actor.

335
00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:28,360
Speaker 1: Is that something you knew you wanted? No, it's nothing

336
00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:30,800
Speaker 1: I ever just made a choice about. Is this something

337
00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:33,280
Speaker 1: that that happened? And you know I was twelve. I

338
00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:36,119
Speaker 1: mean like, of course I always want to be on television.

339
00:16:36,520 --> 00:16:38,320
Speaker 1: I always wanted to do that. I watched a lot

340
00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:41,480
Speaker 1: of TV. I watch a lot of Nickelodeon, and like, uh,

341
00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:43,480
Speaker 1: you can't do that on television is one of my favorites.

342
00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:45,960
Speaker 1: I'm like, I could do that, but wait, they talk weird?

343
00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:48,360
Speaker 1: Do you have to say sorry to be on television?

344
00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:51,600
Speaker 1: And I have no idea? They were Canadian? You did

345
00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:53,600
Speaker 1: one of those? You did one of those? I did.

346
00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:56,960
Speaker 1: I was on Don't Just Sit There, and then I

347
00:16:57,080 --> 00:16:59,720
Speaker 1: actually went up and did an episode of you Can't

348
00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:02,880
Speaker 1: Do That Television, Got to pop out of the locker,

349
00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:05,520
Speaker 1: got to get slimed, did the whole bit on the

350
00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:09,640
Speaker 1: It was so much fun, but it was also like,

351
00:17:10,560 --> 00:17:12,960
Speaker 1: you know, the great and Powerful Odds was just a guy.

352
00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:21,000
Speaker 1: Do you prefer to animation that's more adult or do

353
00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:22,920
Speaker 1: you have a soft spot in your heart for doing

354
00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:26,280
Speaker 1: animation that's directed towards kids? And like good questions, and

355
00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:29,679
Speaker 1: how do you bring sort of like um, how do

356
00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:34,000
Speaker 1: you approach your characters whether they're wild or do you

357
00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:36,720
Speaker 1: try to make them nuanced? Like what do you do? Exactly?

358
00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:40,280
Speaker 1: A few questions in one question? It was let me

359
00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:44,360
Speaker 1: answer the first part of that. And where are you from?

360
00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:48,480
Speaker 1: And what is your sign? What's your sign? You could

361
00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:54,760
Speaker 1: be one tree? Which Star Wars episode was? I can

362
00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:59,119
Speaker 1: or be? The questions we'll take question one B. First,

363
00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:02,080
Speaker 1: shop it down? Okay, what was it again? The first

364
00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:07,600
Speaker 1: question is which kind of content do you prefer make it?

365
00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:09,480
Speaker 1: Do you do? You prefer to make more adult stuff

366
00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:11,879
Speaker 1: and more kids stuff? I really don't care. I'll do

367
00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:13,560
Speaker 1: it all. I love I just love acting. I just

368
00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:17,119
Speaker 1: love it. I will say, like technically, like when you

369
00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:19,359
Speaker 1: do a kid's show, like like Rescue Bus, was it

370
00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:23,719
Speaker 1: like this? But like younger, like preschool audiences, you have

371
00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:27,480
Speaker 1: to talk a little bit slower, a little bit more

372
00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:29,560
Speaker 1: so they can understand you. And I'm a fast talker,

373
00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:34,920
Speaker 1: so that's challenging for me. Video games are challenging depending

374
00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:36,600
Speaker 1: on the ones you work on, because they're so different,

375
00:18:36,600 --> 00:18:39,280
Speaker 1: and they could be really intense, not just volume wise.

376
00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:40,800
Speaker 1: But I did a I did a video game for

377
00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:43,760
Speaker 1: eight months. I still couldn't tell you what the stories about. Uh.

378
00:18:44,760 --> 00:18:49,080
Speaker 1: For some reason, I had to match not the lip flap,

379
00:18:49,080 --> 00:18:51,480
Speaker 1: but I had to match the length of the original.

380
00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:54,760
Speaker 1: It was recorded in Japanese. They would play back the

381
00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:57,480
Speaker 1: Japanese in my ear, and I had to match the

382
00:18:57,520 --> 00:18:59,639
Speaker 1: exact length of it, no matter what, even if my

383
00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:02,560
Speaker 1: dollar a little bit longer. And so it's challenging. And

384
00:19:02,560 --> 00:19:04,760
Speaker 1: it's when it gets technical and you're in your head

385
00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:07,159
Speaker 1: more than you in your heart that it's like, you know,

386
00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:08,360
Speaker 1: but I could, But I could do it. I could

387
00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:11,480
Speaker 1: do anything, but preferably probably something more adult, something that's

388
00:19:11,480 --> 00:19:14,880
Speaker 1: more loose, if you have a good director that will

389
00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:18,119
Speaker 1: let you, you know, play around a little bit. Uh.

390
00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:20,160
Speaker 1: Those are the kind of gigs I covet for sure.

391
00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:24,200
Speaker 1: Those are yeah, those Um, not even lip flappy matching.

392
00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:26,280
Speaker 1: I did one like that as well, and it was

393
00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:29,840
Speaker 1: supposed to be four sessions, and none of the dialogue fits,

394
00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:31,960
Speaker 1: so it ended up being sixteen sessions. Because half the

395
00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:34,199
Speaker 1: time you'd sit there while they were writing, and it

396
00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:36,360
Speaker 1: was just kind of Yeah, it was definitely a different,

397
00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:41,600
Speaker 1: different vibe. How about how about genre in general, meaning

398
00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:44,760
Speaker 1: you get to do animation, you get to do anime,

399
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:47,760
Speaker 1: you get to do video games, but you gotta pick

400
00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:50,879
Speaker 1: one mo cap whatever? What would you or? And I

401
00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:52,359
Speaker 1: hate I hate to do this on this show, but

402
00:19:52,359 --> 00:19:55,840
Speaker 1: I'm gonna or on camera. You know which one do

403
00:19:55,880 --> 00:19:58,480
Speaker 1: you pick? I get this question a lot. First off,

404
00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:00,119
Speaker 1: I've never done mo cap. I would love to do

405
00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:06,120
Speaker 1: mo cap. It looks it looks good. Auditioned a couple

406
00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:09,520
Speaker 1: of times. Uh, but uh A good seem answer, man, Like,

407
00:20:09,560 --> 00:20:11,159
Speaker 1: I just love it. I love acting. I love it.

408
00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:14,399
Speaker 1: I'll do on camera like like honestly, like I have

409
00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:18,760
Speaker 1: a huge ego. I love being seen recognized. Yeah, oh

410
00:20:18,840 --> 00:20:24,080
Speaker 1: you didn't know that about me. You do you get

411
00:20:24,119 --> 00:20:28,439
Speaker 1: to interact and get your get instant recognition voiceover you know,

412
00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:31,200
Speaker 1: you can show up in your pajamas if you want. Uh.

413
00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:33,879
Speaker 1: But I just I just like doing I like whatever.

414
00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:35,280
Speaker 1: I like doing it all. You know. For the record,

415
00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:37,680
Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell a very quick story I had heard

416
00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:40,600
Speaker 1: from the very beginning of when I started my voice

417
00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:42,720
Speaker 1: over career. You can do this in your pajamas. You

418
00:20:42,760 --> 00:20:44,680
Speaker 1: can do this in your pajamas. I've seen that happen

419
00:20:44,760 --> 00:20:48,680
Speaker 1: exactly one time, and it was you. Yeah, and you

420
00:20:48,840 --> 00:20:52,760
Speaker 1: showed up in your pajamas and a bathrobe. I forget

421
00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:54,560
Speaker 1: what we were recording. It was something I want to say.

422
00:20:54,560 --> 00:20:57,520
Speaker 1: It was something with Andrea, wasn't it. I can't remember?

423
00:20:57,600 --> 00:21:00,600
Speaker 1: Maybe maybe, uh, did you ever do just this league?

424
00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:04,520
Speaker 1: I did it, Yes, maybe it was just it might

425
00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:05,879
Speaker 1: have been in Justice League. I don't know what it was.

426
00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:07,480
Speaker 1: But you did you full on. It was the only

427
00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:10,000
Speaker 1: time I've ever seen it. You actually remember that day.

428
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:11,600
Speaker 1: I'm thinking, like, you know, I've never seen it either,

429
00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:14,119
Speaker 1: but like I'm gonna be why not, how are you

430
00:21:14,119 --> 00:21:17,439
Speaker 1: gonna do? Right? Yeah? Exactly, you did it? Though it

431
00:21:17,520 --> 00:21:20,640
Speaker 1: was it was pretty great. Do you want my second question? Yes,

432
00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:22,720
Speaker 1: go ahead, question too? What do you got and how

433
00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:26,800
Speaker 1: do you approach your characters, especially if they're like larger

434
00:21:26,800 --> 00:21:29,320
Speaker 1: than life characters, because you yourself have a very amazing

435
00:21:29,359 --> 00:21:32,000
Speaker 1: personality that can be larger than life. Do you find

436
00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:37,480
Speaker 1: that you really try to do more nuanced choices with

437
00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:39,679
Speaker 1: most of your characters. Do you ever feel like you

438
00:21:39,680 --> 00:21:43,919
Speaker 1: have to like damp damper down, like your personality for

439
00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:46,840
Speaker 1: these characters, Like, how do you how do you inject

440
00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:52,240
Speaker 1: predimensionality to your characters? What's your approach? Well, it sounds lazy,

441
00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:56,159
Speaker 1: but I've gotten to a point where I knowing me, I,

442
00:21:56,160 --> 00:21:59,720
Speaker 1: if I over rehearse, it'll get stale, I'll lock into

443
00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:02,000
Speaker 1: a woman and I'll try to recapture that and then

444
00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:05,399
Speaker 1: get thrown off. So I usually, just like I auditioning,

445
00:22:06,359 --> 00:22:08,679
Speaker 1: I will look it through a kind of read it

446
00:22:08,760 --> 00:22:12,200
Speaker 1: monotone a press record, and just see what happens, and

447
00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:14,280
Speaker 1: then I'll kind of like dictate after that as far

448
00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:16,320
Speaker 1: as personnel, like every character should have a little bit

449
00:22:16,359 --> 00:22:19,480
Speaker 1: of my personality to make it feel authentic. You know,

450
00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:21,320
Speaker 1: if you're lucky, they give you a description, they give

451
00:22:21,359 --> 00:22:23,600
Speaker 1: you a picture, and you just kind of go off

452
00:22:23,640 --> 00:22:27,399
Speaker 1: off of that. Well, I think that actually that lends

453
00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:31,159
Speaker 1: itself to why you like Jennie McSwain so much. Is

454
00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:32,960
Speaker 1: that same kind of let's sit in front of a

455
00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:35,320
Speaker 1: microphone and just see what happens. We'll tweak afterwards, we'll

456
00:22:35,320 --> 00:22:36,880
Speaker 1: figure out let's set the voice with what we want

457
00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:39,240
Speaker 1: to do, maybe take two or three, but first take

458
00:22:39,320 --> 00:22:42,960
Speaker 1: there's a reason we hired you. Let's just see what happens, um,

459
00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:45,200
Speaker 1: And it seems like maybe that's how you know, that's

460
00:22:45,520 --> 00:22:48,160
Speaker 1: even how you approach your auditions is it's just kind

461
00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:50,600
Speaker 1: of like, alright, let's see what happens, and I may

462
00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:52,320
Speaker 1: throw this away. I may throw away the first ten,

463
00:22:52,560 --> 00:22:54,960
Speaker 1: but it's or I might just go, wow, that was

464
00:22:55,080 --> 00:22:58,360
Speaker 1: that was perfect. That's that's that's how I do it personally.

465
00:22:58,400 --> 00:23:01,240
Speaker 1: What about you, guys? How do you never explain your pressbody?

466
00:23:01,400 --> 00:23:03,520
Speaker 1: Nobody wants us to audition for any of My process

467
00:23:03,600 --> 00:23:09,320
Speaker 1: is begging for you, guys fight. I literally have to

468
00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:11,400
Speaker 1: create a whole YouTube channel just to be seen. So

469
00:23:11,560 --> 00:23:15,240
Speaker 1: I mean exactly which I am one of these days

470
00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:19,720
Speaker 1: going to subscribe to so much. I am one of

471
00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:22,040
Speaker 1: these days I'm going to learn the YouTube's and figure

472
00:23:22,040 --> 00:23:25,280
Speaker 1: it out. We are going to get there. But we

473
00:23:25,359 --> 00:23:28,200
Speaker 1: are just very quickly brought to you by Justin Marsden,

474
00:23:28,400 --> 00:23:32,800
Speaker 1: the best actor for thirty years, um, she mean all

475
00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:36,719
Speaker 1: the Lord of the Rings movies. Something that I do

476
00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:39,280
Speaker 1: feel like we've been mentioning a lot is energy and

477
00:23:39,440 --> 00:23:42,080
Speaker 1: the energy of a room, and energy in terms of

478
00:23:42,119 --> 00:23:44,720
Speaker 1: the take and how that's informing the take. I never

479
00:23:44,760 --> 00:23:48,280
Speaker 1: really thought about that on the whole, but it seems

480
00:23:48,280 --> 00:23:50,399
Speaker 1: to be something that's very important. So with people that

481
00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:54,240
Speaker 1: are listening to our podcast here that maybe new to

482
00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:58,240
Speaker 1: their approaches and there and their ways of putting themselves

483
00:23:58,280 --> 00:24:01,240
Speaker 1: on tape, what is your best advice, like, just have fun,

484
00:24:01,720 --> 00:24:05,080
Speaker 1: just let it go. Like if the energy isn't right

485
00:24:05,119 --> 00:24:07,520
Speaker 1: in the room, that's obviously maybe a red flag. Like

486
00:24:07,560 --> 00:24:10,960
Speaker 1: what is your advice are you talking? You're talking about

487
00:24:11,119 --> 00:24:15,960
Speaker 1: in a recording session room. Okay, let me translate. If

488
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:18,640
Speaker 1: you are new to the business and you are now

489
00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:21,639
Speaker 1: in a room with a number of other actors and

490
00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:25,119
Speaker 1: you see that the energy is that the energy of

491
00:24:25,119 --> 00:24:27,840
Speaker 1: the room is really popping. Do you think that is

492
00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:31,199
Speaker 1: more conducive to the newbie to then realize they also

493
00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:34,000
Speaker 1: need to match the energy of the room, which will

494
00:24:34,040 --> 00:24:36,960
Speaker 1: then in turn give them a better performance. Is that

495
00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:40,000
Speaker 1: he doesn't speak me because what he's doing is he's

496
00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:42,400
Speaker 1: like listening to me and then making it more coherent.

497
00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:52,640
Speaker 1: Thank you. Yes, I can imagine being in a room

498
00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:55,920
Speaker 1: and doing like uh, like an episode of Justice League

499
00:24:55,920 --> 00:24:57,639
Speaker 1: where you have a room full of voice actors and

500
00:24:57,680 --> 00:25:00,520
Speaker 1: sometimes the celebrity and sometimes the celebrities of the voice

501
00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:03,560
Speaker 1: and they have so they're so overwhelmed even though they're

502
00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:06,080
Speaker 1: like a war I've worked with award winning actors that

503
00:25:06,240 --> 00:25:08,920
Speaker 1: folded under the pressure like they were just so intimidated.

504
00:25:09,359 --> 00:25:11,520
Speaker 1: They get so much in their in their heads. And

505
00:25:11,560 --> 00:25:14,119
Speaker 1: I think that's another thing with new new actors. We

506
00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:17,119
Speaker 1: I'm sure you've talked about this before, but it's voice acting.

507
00:25:17,119 --> 00:25:18,840
Speaker 1: It's not about the voice. It's about the acting. It's

508
00:25:18,840 --> 00:25:20,840
Speaker 1: about the performance. So it doesn't matter if you can

509
00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:23,160
Speaker 1: give funny voices and whatnot if you can't perform. That's

510
00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:25,080
Speaker 1: why Aaron bows is so amazing at what he does,

511
00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:27,280
Speaker 1: because you know, it's more than just doing it bugs

512
00:25:27,280 --> 00:25:31,920
Speaker 1: bunny impression. But he can perform with that voice. And yes, uh,

513
00:25:31,960 --> 00:25:35,240
Speaker 1: it could be nerve racking because a lot of people

514
00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:37,920
Speaker 1: are so themselves. You get in a room with Kevin

515
00:25:37,960 --> 00:25:40,360
Speaker 1: Michael Richardson and you'll you'll lose it. I mean, he's

516
00:25:40,359 --> 00:25:45,240
Speaker 1: just he's so you know out there, uh, and the

517
00:25:45,320 --> 00:25:48,480
Speaker 1: camaraderie between everyone. The best thing you can do is

518
00:25:48,520 --> 00:25:50,920
Speaker 1: just absorb it and listen, just listen to another and

519
00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:53,399
Speaker 1: then have it get out of here and just have

520
00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:55,720
Speaker 1: it come from here, because you're ultimately you're in a

521
00:25:55,760 --> 00:25:58,679
Speaker 1: safe space. You can't be a safer space than a

522
00:25:58,760 --> 00:26:02,320
Speaker 1: voiceover recording. I was gonna say, it's a padded room.

523
00:26:03,560 --> 00:26:05,280
Speaker 1: There's a reason. There's a reason they keep us in

524
00:26:05,280 --> 00:26:07,080
Speaker 1: a padded room. There's a reason they keep us in

525
00:26:07,119 --> 00:26:09,840
Speaker 1: a padded us. Now, this is a perfect little segue

526
00:26:09,840 --> 00:26:12,080
Speaker 1: because you mentioned and obviously we will not put you

527
00:26:12,080 --> 00:26:13,720
Speaker 1: on the spot and make you say the names. But

528
00:26:13,760 --> 00:26:16,840
Speaker 1: you mentioned you've seen on camera actors that are huge

529
00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:20,159
Speaker 1: stars fold in the room. I'm sure you've seen performances

530
00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:22,560
Speaker 1: where you go, I can't believe that performances came out

531
00:26:22,560 --> 00:26:24,760
Speaker 1: of that person who I didn't think had it in them.

532
00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:28,520
Speaker 1: Are there one or two moments that pop into your mind, uh,

533
00:26:28,560 --> 00:26:31,400
Speaker 1: that are just we're incredible moments in the booth, either

534
00:26:31,440 --> 00:26:34,600
Speaker 1: good or bad, but moments that you remember that you

535
00:26:34,600 --> 00:26:36,760
Speaker 1: can share with us that were just Wow, this was

536
00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:40,680
Speaker 1: incredible or this was terrible or whatever, but just walk

537
00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:43,760
Speaker 1: us through an incredible booth moment. Incredible booth moment. I

538
00:26:43,760 --> 00:26:47,720
Speaker 1: mean I keep glumbing onto like celebrities that that that

539
00:26:47,760 --> 00:26:51,280
Speaker 1: couldn't have that's cool guy who I guess I won't

540
00:26:51,280 --> 00:26:54,040
Speaker 1: mention names that could get that could come back to you. Yeah, no,

541
00:26:54,040 --> 00:26:55,760
Speaker 1: I don't don't do it. We don't need Jill accurate.

542
00:26:55,760 --> 00:26:58,040
Speaker 1: It could have been you know, a hungover, fueled or whatnot.

543
00:26:58,040 --> 00:27:00,720
Speaker 1: And again like just couldn't couldn't deliver. Uh. Then I

544
00:27:00,760 --> 00:27:03,840
Speaker 1: worked with another guy who we all know, uh star

545
00:27:03,840 --> 00:27:06,800
Speaker 1: Wars actor who I was surprised to see in the room,

546
00:27:06,840 --> 00:27:09,080
Speaker 1: and we were so happy to have him, and there

547
00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:10,960
Speaker 1: was something that was going on. He wasn't able to deliver.

548
00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:13,800
Speaker 1: I've never seen anyone so overdirected in my life, and

549
00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:17,160
Speaker 1: ultimately they had to replace him with with somebody else

550
00:27:17,400 --> 00:27:19,320
Speaker 1: and it was no fault of his own. I don't

551
00:27:19,600 --> 00:27:21,720
Speaker 1: even then, I'm like, I couldn't figure out what he

552
00:27:21,760 --> 00:27:24,040
Speaker 1: was doing that was so off the mark, except I

553
00:27:24,080 --> 00:27:26,800
Speaker 1: just think, like I've never seen producers come in one

554
00:27:26,800 --> 00:27:29,240
Speaker 1: by one to try their hand at giving this act

555
00:27:29,359 --> 00:27:32,760
Speaker 1: direction instead of leaving him alone. Was he struggling? Do

556
00:27:32,760 --> 00:27:34,760
Speaker 1: you feel like it was just a really awkward situation

557
00:27:34,800 --> 00:27:36,919
Speaker 1: to have to watch. No, he was going with it,

558
00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:38,439
Speaker 1: he was he seemed like he was really having a

559
00:27:38,440 --> 00:27:42,240
Speaker 1: good time. There was no frustration or anything. Yeah. Yeah,

560
00:27:42,280 --> 00:27:44,800
Speaker 1: as far as like incredible moments, like any time I

561
00:27:44,840 --> 00:27:48,040
Speaker 1: work with Frank Welker is incredible. You know, he's gifted

562
00:27:48,040 --> 00:27:50,199
Speaker 1: with the creature voices, he's grifted with dialogue, and he

563
00:27:50,200 --> 00:27:52,879
Speaker 1: can go back and forth instantly and also like very

564
00:27:52,960 --> 00:27:56,480
Speaker 1: quick witted, and as you know being a fan, it's

565
00:27:56,520 --> 00:28:00,520
Speaker 1: always surreal to work with him. Okay, now we've spoken

566
00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:03,120
Speaker 1: about a little bit about some of the jobs you've done,

567
00:28:03,119 --> 00:28:04,520
Speaker 1: but I want to go through the resume a little

568
00:28:04,520 --> 00:28:09,040
Speaker 1: bit because it's pretty incredible and it's ridiculously diverse. So,

569
00:28:09,080 --> 00:28:11,880
Speaker 1: I mean, we've got everything from like my jam, which

570
00:28:11,880 --> 00:28:14,439
Speaker 1: was g I Joe, where you got to play do

571
00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:17,200
Speaker 1: I got to play Duke that Crazy, which to me

572
00:28:17,359 --> 00:28:18,879
Speaker 1: was like when you told me that it was the

573
00:28:18,920 --> 00:28:21,160
Speaker 1: only time in our in our friendship where I wanted

574
00:28:21,200 --> 00:28:24,919
Speaker 1: to slap um because it was like, you've got to

575
00:28:24,960 --> 00:28:27,800
Speaker 1: be kidding me. You are, that's like my dream job.

576
00:28:28,160 --> 00:28:31,360
Speaker 1: But then you also have an incredible story about Batman

577
00:28:31,440 --> 00:28:35,080
Speaker 1: beyond that was that's different. Yeah, that's true, Batman bought

578
00:28:35,280 --> 00:28:37,320
Speaker 1: that one hurt. You're realizing you guys are best friends,

579
00:28:37,320 --> 00:28:41,960
Speaker 1: but you're also you're competitive. I like it. Well, of course,

580
00:28:42,280 --> 00:28:44,440
Speaker 1: well we've played I mean, if we just so we'll

581
00:28:44,480 --> 00:28:46,280
Speaker 1: get to the next question. Desk but if I'm thinking,

582
00:28:46,400 --> 00:28:48,880
Speaker 1: was we talked earlier before about the stuff we've done together.

583
00:28:48,960 --> 00:28:52,520
Speaker 1: So on camera and v O we're talking Boy Meats, World,

584
00:28:53,760 --> 00:29:01,280
Speaker 1: Trojan War, Batman Beyond, ThunderCats, Kim Possible, Yes, Possible, the Cats,

585
00:29:01,280 --> 00:29:03,560
Speaker 1: which is thanks to you. Yes, we did even Steven

586
00:29:03,640 --> 00:29:08,800
Speaker 1: Fris Rescue, Butts Rescue. I met during even Stevens even Steve. Yeah, so,

587
00:29:08,840 --> 00:29:11,400
Speaker 1: I mean you you're one of the I mean saying

588
00:29:11,400 --> 00:29:13,560
Speaker 1: a veteran in the business nowadays it is kind of ridiculous,

589
00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:16,640
Speaker 1: but you've been Yeah, you've been around since it was

590
00:29:16,680 --> 00:29:19,320
Speaker 1: old Hampshire. Do you remember this, I'm sorry, do you

591
00:29:19,360 --> 00:29:22,120
Speaker 1: remember this, this moment where I actually got to voice

592
00:29:22,120 --> 00:29:25,080
Speaker 1: Batman Beyond for a bit you did. It was for

593
00:29:25,440 --> 00:29:28,240
Speaker 1: the promos, right for w promos. Yeah, you're out of

594
00:29:28,280 --> 00:29:32,400
Speaker 1: town and for some reason they didn't audition me. They

595
00:29:32,440 --> 00:29:33,720
Speaker 1: just brought me. I didn't know what I was doing

596
00:29:33,840 --> 00:29:36,800
Speaker 1: till I got there. I'm like, I know, who's gidness is.

597
00:29:37,120 --> 00:29:39,000
Speaker 1: I remember calling you being like is this cool man?

598
00:29:39,120 --> 00:29:42,080
Speaker 1: You're like, go for it? Uh, yeah, but I did.

599
00:29:42,600 --> 00:29:44,840
Speaker 1: That happened for all the he was out of town,

600
00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:47,080
Speaker 1: you were shooting, he was h G double or one

601
00:29:47,080 --> 00:29:50,320
Speaker 1: of my date with some somewhere in Canada. You're shooting something.

602
00:29:50,600 --> 00:29:53,120
Speaker 1: I was shooting movie somewhere. You're unavailable to go into

603
00:29:53,120 --> 00:29:55,239
Speaker 1: that because the promos they turned around real fast. They

604
00:29:55,840 --> 00:30:01,920
Speaker 1: come in anyway essentially voicemah yeah and did well and people,

605
00:30:01,960 --> 00:30:04,320

00:30:04,480 --> 00:30:09,160
Speaker 1: Jason doing Will doing Batman, which is which is pretty awesome.

607
00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:11,760
Speaker 1: But you I never forget, uh if we're staying on

617
00:30:37,840 --> 00:30:44,920
Speaker 1: you went your It was out of love and pride

618
00:30:44,960 --> 00:30:49,120
Speaker 1: and absolutely jealousy, but mostly it was but that was

619
00:30:49,360 --> 00:30:52,520
Speaker 1: a really cool gig. It was lucky. But that's how

620
00:30:52,560 --> 00:30:54,320
Speaker 1: I felt when you booked Duke, which is now I

621
00:30:54,320 --> 00:30:56,160
Speaker 1: want to get into this next story because you did

622
00:30:56,760 --> 00:30:59,640
Speaker 1: one of the most beautiful animated films of all time

623
00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:03,040
Speaker 1: and you booked it in your closet. Is this true?

624
00:31:03,480 --> 00:31:07,960
Speaker 1: Can you walk us through Spirited Away? I can't. Spirited Away? Yeah,

625
00:31:07,960 --> 00:31:11,640
Speaker 1: auditioned in my closet and three months later I found it.

626
00:31:11,720 --> 00:31:13,920
Speaker 1: I booked it, and I had I had no idea

627
00:31:13,960 --> 00:31:17,600
Speaker 1: who Yazaki was. He had wasn't not really. I didn't

628
00:31:17,600 --> 00:31:19,000
Speaker 1: grow up with a lot of anime. I didn't have

629
00:31:19,040 --> 00:31:22,280
Speaker 1: that cool older brother friend who was into that to

630
00:31:22,320 --> 00:31:25,240
Speaker 1: introduce me to that. My anime was like Vultron. But

631
00:31:25,640 --> 00:31:27,280
Speaker 1: it was explained to me, like, yeah, this is a

632
00:31:27,280 --> 00:31:30,600
Speaker 1: big deal. John Lasseter is pals with Miyazaki. Miyazaki is

633
00:31:30,600 --> 00:31:33,200
Speaker 1: like the Disney of Japan. This movie has made more

634
00:31:33,240 --> 00:31:36,120
Speaker 1: money than Titanic in Japan. Disney is acquired, They're gonna

635
00:31:36,120 --> 00:31:37,240
Speaker 1: bring it over and you're gonna be part of the

636
00:31:37,280 --> 00:31:39,880
Speaker 1: English dub, part of the English dub. You were the

637
00:31:39,880 --> 00:31:42,600
Speaker 1: star of the film. I was. I mean, there was

638
00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:45,280
Speaker 1: so many stars of the film. There was so many Yeah,

639
00:31:45,320 --> 00:31:47,480
Speaker 1: but it was amazing and it was I'll never forget

640
00:31:47,520 --> 00:31:49,760
Speaker 1: that though. You tell me, like I booked this while

641
00:31:49,800 --> 00:31:52,239
Speaker 1: sitting in my closet, because this is pre kind of

642
00:31:52,320 --> 00:31:55,720
Speaker 1: pre everybody recording at home, pre booth stuff like people

643
00:31:55,760 --> 00:31:57,640
Speaker 1: building booths in their house and stuff like that. So

644
00:31:57,920 --> 00:32:00,240
Speaker 1: auditioning like like they had just started doing that, you'd

645
00:32:00,240 --> 00:32:02,000
Speaker 1: still it was a hybrid of like you could do

646
00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:03,840
Speaker 1: it at home, or you could go into your your agency,

647
00:32:03,960 --> 00:32:05,600
Speaker 1: or you go into the actual place. So did you

648
00:32:05,760 --> 00:32:07,640
Speaker 1: did you like have your own set up then or

649
00:32:07,680 --> 00:32:10,440
Speaker 1: how did you record that spirited way audition? Oh? It's

650
00:32:10,480 --> 00:32:12,440
Speaker 1: it's it was much more primitive than it is now.

651
00:32:12,480 --> 00:32:14,920
Speaker 1: I've done like shows in here, but it was just

652
00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:21,200
Speaker 1: like an office closet with a crappy microphone and garage band.

653
00:32:21,560 --> 00:32:22,760
Speaker 1: It was just you know, it's good. It was good

654
00:32:22,880 --> 00:32:27,640
Speaker 1: enough for an audition. Read that's anything incredible. So also, uh,

655
00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:32,080
Speaker 1: Clark kent young Superman in in New Adventures of Superman.

656
00:32:32,560 --> 00:32:36,040
Speaker 1: So staying in the Bruce tim world, which is now

657
00:32:36,200 --> 00:32:40,120
Speaker 1: one of your favorite worlds right when you're talking Superhero Batman,

658
00:32:40,440 --> 00:32:42,400
Speaker 1: but just the whole DC kind of world you were.

659
00:32:42,560 --> 00:32:44,560
Speaker 1: I remember growing up you were more d C fan

660
00:32:44,600 --> 00:32:47,560
Speaker 1: than you were a Marvel fan, growing up, specifically more Batman.

661
00:32:47,600 --> 00:32:50,400
Speaker 1: I didn't really gravitate to DC or Marvel. I was

662
00:32:50,440 --> 00:32:54,640
Speaker 1: just like I like Batman, like Spiderman. Batman was my jam.

663
00:32:54,960 --> 00:32:58,240
Speaker 1: What do you think of the newest newest movie. I

664
00:32:58,280 --> 00:33:01,560
Speaker 1: loved it. I loved I was you know, every time

665
00:33:01,560 --> 00:33:03,840
Speaker 1: I go in I'm pessimistic, and I went. I was

666
00:33:03,880 --> 00:33:05,480
Speaker 1: in Rhode Island. It was after I saw you guys

667
00:33:05,480 --> 00:33:08,040
Speaker 1: in Connecticut and went Torhode Island with my girlfriend. Was

668
00:33:08,080 --> 00:33:09,400
Speaker 1: in my aunt and uncle and the four of us

669
00:33:09,920 --> 00:33:12,000
Speaker 1: went to see it in the theater and it was

670
00:33:12,480 --> 00:33:15,160
Speaker 1: unreasonably loud, like they turned it all. I don't know,

671
00:33:15,200 --> 00:33:17,160
Speaker 1: because there was very few people in the theater, but

672
00:33:17,200 --> 00:33:21,200
Speaker 1: it was so loud. And and now I'm excited to

673
00:33:21,240 --> 00:33:23,760
Speaker 1: watch it again now it's on HBO Max. But I'm like,

674
00:33:24,160 --> 00:33:26,400
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's gonna feel the same, you know,

675
00:33:26,600 --> 00:33:28,480
Speaker 1: But I loved it. It It was like, maybe twenty minutes

676
00:33:28,520 --> 00:33:32,800
Speaker 1: too long, but I dug it. He was Emo Batman,

677
00:33:33,040 --> 00:33:37,680
Speaker 1: Emo Batman. What did you think? I hated. I hated

678
00:33:37,720 --> 00:33:41,360
Speaker 1: everything about it. I hated I hated the story, I

679
00:33:41,440 --> 00:33:45,960
Speaker 1: hated the performance. There was no difference between Batman and

680
00:33:45,960 --> 00:33:49,880
Speaker 1: Bruce Wayne. How did he fit a three pound costume

681
00:33:49,920 --> 00:33:52,400
Speaker 1: in that tiny little backpack when he was driving the motorcyc.

682
00:33:52,520 --> 00:33:55,080
Speaker 1: It was things like that that bothered me, where it's

683
00:33:55,120 --> 00:33:59,040
Speaker 1: like it's he can he looked like RoboCop um he

684
00:33:59,320 --> 00:34:02,160
Speaker 1: the only thing he did was punch the car. Did nothing.

685
00:34:02,400 --> 00:34:05,680
Speaker 1: It was like, wow, this is there's nothing Batman about

686
00:34:05,720 --> 00:34:08,600
Speaker 1: this movie. And I like Robert Pattinson. I do. I

687
00:34:08,600 --> 00:34:13,280
Speaker 1: think he's fine act. My wife turned to me halfway

688
00:34:13,360 --> 00:34:19,279
Speaker 1: through and she said, I am now team Jacob. Yeah.

689
00:34:19,800 --> 00:34:24,080
Speaker 1: So it was we both just just we just did

690
00:34:24,239 --> 00:34:26,719
Speaker 1: and maybe it was I have to watch again. You

691
00:34:26,719 --> 00:34:28,640
Speaker 1: don't read comic books, did you not? You don't read

692
00:34:28,680 --> 00:34:31,719
Speaker 1: the comics. I know I do. I mean I know

693
00:34:31,840 --> 00:34:35,360
Speaker 1: the comics enough to know the different stories they pull from. Okay,

694
00:34:35,480 --> 00:34:38,720
Speaker 1: but it was very What got me excited is because

695
00:34:38,719 --> 00:34:41,480
Speaker 1: I just read the Hush series and and like how

696
00:34:41,520 --> 00:34:43,640
Speaker 1: Batman were like narrated in the beginning, Like those things

697
00:34:43,719 --> 00:34:46,800
Speaker 1: got me excited. I like that it was like David

698
00:34:46,840 --> 00:34:50,839
Speaker 1: Fincher like like almost like seven like story. Yea, yeah.

699
00:34:50,880 --> 00:34:53,920
Speaker 1: I liked how slow he moved, like I got off

700
00:34:53,960 --> 00:34:57,000
Speaker 1: of the whole thing. Yeah. And some people did stuff

701
00:34:57,040 --> 00:35:00,480
Speaker 1: about a fantasy movie for you know, hey, it don't

702
00:35:02,840 --> 00:35:04,799
Speaker 1: I can't watch the rest of this No, but no,

703
00:35:04,920 --> 00:35:07,279
Speaker 1: I wanted again. It's like people that are like, you know,

704
00:35:07,480 --> 00:35:09,480
Speaker 1: I didn't I didn't mind that they put nipples on

705
00:35:09,520 --> 00:35:11,920
Speaker 1: the bat suit, and the older it's like, Okay, well

706
00:35:11,960 --> 00:35:15,200
Speaker 1: then we're going to disagree because I mind that there's

707
00:35:15,239 --> 00:35:19,400
Speaker 1: nipples on the bat suit. Thank But to be honest,

708
00:35:19,440 --> 00:35:22,800
Speaker 1: what we talked about was there's a Batman for everyone

709
00:35:22,880 --> 00:35:24,880
Speaker 1: at every stage of life, right like this, Well that's

710
00:35:24,880 --> 00:35:27,760
Speaker 1: what Bruce tim says, And so it's kind of interesting

711
00:35:27,800 --> 00:35:30,160
Speaker 1: that the world is the way it is right now. Yeah,

712
00:35:30,239 --> 00:35:32,440
Speaker 1: I mean, it was a crazy world and it was

713
00:35:32,520 --> 00:35:34,400
Speaker 1: underwater by the end of the movie, you know what

714
00:35:34,480 --> 00:35:36,120
Speaker 1: I mean. And it was like it felt like people

715
00:35:36,120 --> 00:35:40,440
Speaker 1: were isolated and Core and Quarantine had that very modern

716
00:35:40,920 --> 00:35:44,120
Speaker 1: take on it in a way, you know, and people

717
00:35:44,160 --> 00:35:46,919
Speaker 1: were wearing masks and you know what's funny. My son

718
00:35:47,400 --> 00:35:51,279
Speaker 1: is not interested in Batman at all, respectively, and and

719
00:35:51,400 --> 00:35:53,719
Speaker 1: I realized, like he's been like I've shown him a

720
00:35:53,760 --> 00:35:56,200
Speaker 1: couple of things, he's been around it, but I finally

721
00:35:56,200 --> 00:35:58,520
Speaker 1: showed him the Tim Burton Batman, the first Michael Keaton

722
00:35:58,520 --> 00:36:01,480
Speaker 1: bat and as we're watching, I was like, in I

723
00:36:01,600 --> 00:36:04,560
Speaker 1: was totally forgot, like he's already been introduced to like

724
00:36:04,600 --> 00:36:07,640
Speaker 1: the Christian Baale Batman and the and and the other Batman's.

725
00:36:07,680 --> 00:36:11,320
Speaker 1: Like before Michael Keaton, the only Batman I had was

726
00:36:11,360 --> 00:36:14,920
Speaker 1: out of West, so he didn't have that magic of

727
00:36:14,960 --> 00:36:18,719
Speaker 1: like wow, a black suit, Wow, really dark with this

728
00:36:18,840 --> 00:36:21,319
Speaker 1: edgy sort of thing, like it's old hat to him

729
00:36:21,320 --> 00:36:23,760
Speaker 1: in a way. So I always take that for granted.

730
00:36:24,360 --> 00:36:28,160
Speaker 1: Uh what people who are watching like these new Batman's like, man,

731
00:36:28,280 --> 00:36:31,160
Speaker 1: this is all thanks to you know, Tim Burton, and

732
00:36:31,239 --> 00:36:34,279
Speaker 1: it started to stretch, you know, into this this really

733
00:36:34,400 --> 00:36:38,040
Speaker 1: good darkness. Anyway, back to v O, which is why

734
00:36:38,040 --> 00:36:40,360
Speaker 1: we're here, um, and we will not talk about how

735
00:36:40,440 --> 00:36:43,239
Speaker 1: wrong you are about the Batman movie. So one of

736
00:36:43,280 --> 00:36:45,439

Speaker 1: on vacation with a buddy of mine and I had

753
00:37:37,640 --> 00:37:40,600

754
00:37:40,600 --> 00:37:42,799
Speaker 1: exactly what it was. It was. It was explained as

755
00:37:42,800 --> 00:37:45,799
Speaker 1: like a goof Troop movie, goof Troop. Max's voice by

760
00:37:57,480 --> 00:37:59,319
Speaker 1: authentic boy sound. So I was one of the dudes

761
00:37:59,320 --> 00:38:03,360
Speaker 1: that they they brought in read over Disney when the

762
00:38:03,719 --> 00:38:05,920
Speaker 1: building used to be in North Hollywood. They brought me

763
00:38:05,920 --> 00:38:07,680
Speaker 1: back and read for the director. It was a very

764
00:38:07,760 --> 00:38:11,000
Speaker 1: quick process actually, and then um they gave me the

765
00:38:11,080 --> 00:38:14,840
Speaker 1: role and not only my Batman fan, but I've always

766
00:38:14,840 --> 00:38:16,759
Speaker 1: been a Disney fan. Will knows this. We've been I've

767
00:38:16,840 --> 00:38:20,920
Speaker 1: dragged I've dragged you to Disneyland many times. Oh yes, Uh,

768
00:38:20,960 --> 00:38:24,880
Speaker 1: we have a super fan, I would say super Yes.

769
00:38:25,160 --> 00:38:29,080
Speaker 1: So there's Jason and I. Jason and I when we

770
00:38:29,080 --> 00:38:32,960
Speaker 1: were younger at Disney h. Yes. So it's the statue.

771
00:38:32,960 --> 00:38:35,040
Speaker 1: Anyone who's actually been to Disneyland, there's a statue when

772
00:38:35,040 --> 00:38:38,800
Speaker 1: you walk in and it is Mr Disney himself holding

773
00:38:38,840 --> 00:38:41,600
Speaker 1: Mickey Mouse's hand and he's pointing off and kind of

774
00:38:41,600 --> 00:38:45,359
Speaker 1: gazing into the future. And Jason and I, uh kind

775
00:38:45,360 --> 00:38:48,280
Speaker 1: of redid it? Uh? And we both have that framed

776
00:38:48,280 --> 00:38:52,600
Speaker 1: in our respective home. Y. So, no, but you were.

777
00:38:52,600 --> 00:38:55,200
Speaker 1: But you were also a big into just when I

778
00:38:55,239 --> 00:38:58,760
Speaker 1: first met you, kind of the musical animated world too,

779
00:38:58,800 --> 00:39:03,120
Speaker 1: so Animania X and uh jams, all the all the

780
00:39:03,200 --> 00:39:05,800
Speaker 1: musical I loved all that stuff. Yeah, yeah, yeah, absolutely

781
00:39:06,000 --> 00:39:08,240
Speaker 1: you you were huge and and and so you've got

782
00:39:08,360 --> 00:39:11,239
Speaker 1: You've got goofy movie. Did you know We always asked

783
00:39:11,239 --> 00:39:15,439
Speaker 1: this and we can never tell. Did you know as

784
00:39:15,480 --> 00:39:17,840
Speaker 1: you're recording it it was going to have the staying

785
00:39:17,880 --> 00:39:19,480
Speaker 1: power that it does and it was going to become

786
00:39:19,520 --> 00:39:22,640
Speaker 1: what it has. No, are you kidding me? I mean

787
00:39:22,680 --> 00:39:24,600
Speaker 1: I knew, I knew it was special. I knew it

788
00:39:24,600 --> 00:39:27,200
Speaker 1: was different. I had never worked on a on a

789
00:39:27,200 --> 00:39:30,560
Speaker 1: animated feature before. Usually, you know, we do an animated

790
00:39:30,600 --> 00:39:32,640
Speaker 1: half hour, it's four hours, you're done. Like we worked

791
00:39:32,960 --> 00:39:35,000
Speaker 1: you know, every other month for like the course of

792
00:39:35,040 --> 00:39:38,319
Speaker 1: two years and really took our time. We do some

793
00:39:38,360 --> 00:39:40,239
Speaker 1: lines like over and over and over and over and

794
00:39:40,239 --> 00:39:42,919
Speaker 1: over and over and over again. Remember Bill Farmer, who's

795
00:39:42,960 --> 00:39:46,120
Speaker 1: outstanding the voice of Goofy, just like taking a half

796
00:39:46,120 --> 00:39:48,680
Speaker 1: hour to go, Well it's not over yet. Well it's

797
00:39:48,719 --> 00:39:51,640
Speaker 1: not over yet. Oh well it's not over yet. I

798
00:39:51,640 --> 00:39:53,600
Speaker 1: mean not that he was. He wasn't doing anything wrong.

799
00:39:53,840 --> 00:39:56,000
Speaker 1: But it's a feature film. They want as many choices

800
00:39:56,000 --> 00:39:59,120
Speaker 1: as possible until it fits. The stakes are probably a

801
00:39:59,120 --> 00:40:02,560
Speaker 1: lot higher when you're filming for it's your film rather

802
00:40:02,640 --> 00:40:05,960
Speaker 1: than I mean, then again, I mean everything is expensive, right,

803
00:40:06,000 --> 00:40:09,040
Speaker 1: like when they when they send that overseas. There's a

804
00:40:09,080 --> 00:40:11,520
Speaker 1: lot at play. But would you say that it's a

805
00:40:11,520 --> 00:40:14,759
Speaker 1: little bit different when you're you know, recording for a

806
00:40:14,760 --> 00:40:17,000
Speaker 1: feature film, because it's like this is it. You got

807
00:40:17,000 --> 00:40:19,759
Speaker 1: to do this right? Thousand, thousand percent. Yeah, it's a

808
00:40:19,760 --> 00:40:22,440
Speaker 1: little Yeah, they take their time a lot more. It's

809
00:40:22,440 --> 00:40:24,520
Speaker 1: a little more freedom to play unless they know exactly

810
00:40:24,560 --> 00:40:28,640
Speaker 1: what they want. But that whole experience was surreal, Like

811
00:40:28,760 --> 00:40:31,200
Speaker 1: you know, working with Goofy for kind of allowed and

812
00:40:31,239 --> 00:40:34,120
Speaker 1: like I said, Bill Farmers, ridiculous. I got to work

813
00:40:34,120 --> 00:40:36,560
Speaker 1: with a lot of the actors that were in the film.

814
00:40:36,640 --> 00:40:39,800
Speaker 1: You know, years later we get to see it animated.

815
00:40:39,800 --> 00:40:42,879
Speaker 1: It's beautifully animated, and the story is just fantastic. It's

816
00:40:42,920 --> 00:40:45,640
Speaker 1: just it's not a typical like Disney film. There's no

817
00:40:46,160 --> 00:40:49,440
Speaker 1: there's no evil. Pritt's evil person in a battle. I mean,

818
00:40:49,480 --> 00:40:52,040
Speaker 1: like the people joke about this, but I think it's true.

819
00:40:52,160 --> 00:40:54,160
Speaker 1: They said, like the antagonist, the real villain of the

820
00:40:54,200 --> 00:40:57,200
Speaker 1: movie is Max if you if you look through it, yeah,

821
00:40:57,920 --> 00:41:00,839
Speaker 1: he's the way karate kid, the Karate kids. It Yes,

822
00:41:02,440 --> 00:41:06,920
Speaker 1: that's okay. So another question we always ask if you

823
00:41:06,920 --> 00:41:10,720
Speaker 1: could voice any character you want in your life, ideal character,

824
00:41:10,760 --> 00:41:13,799
Speaker 1: what would it be? Superhero, super villain, someone who like

825
00:41:14,320 --> 00:41:18,040
Speaker 1: really choose up the scenery. Can't no, no, no, can't

826
00:41:18,120 --> 00:41:19,840
Speaker 1: can't you get you don't get to be that general.

827
00:41:19,840 --> 00:41:22,520
Speaker 1: You gotta pick you gotta like, you get Batman. That

828
00:41:22,560 --> 00:41:27,480
Speaker 1: would be nice, that'd be awesome, that'd be pretty dope.

829
00:41:27,719 --> 00:41:30,120
Speaker 1: I've read read for Batman, not just Batman beyond, I've

830
00:41:30,120 --> 00:41:32,200
Speaker 1: read for Batman a few times. Although you know, it's

831
00:41:32,200 --> 00:41:34,479
Speaker 1: funny somebody to point this out to me. I think

832
00:41:34,560 --> 00:41:37,799
Speaker 1: we're the only actors to have performed as young Clark

833
00:41:37,880 --> 00:41:42,879
Speaker 1: Kent and young Bruce Wayne and Robin Oh sick. Yeah,

834
00:41:42,920 --> 00:41:44,799
Speaker 1: that's awesome. That's well, that's what the show we did,

835
00:41:44,800 --> 00:41:47,200
Speaker 1: brave and bold together. I forgot about that, that's right.

836
00:41:47,360 --> 00:41:49,759
Speaker 1: I played your buddy on that. We would keep we

837
00:41:49,800 --> 00:41:52,040
Speaker 1: would always Ever, every time we mentioned somebody go oh wait,

838
00:41:52,080 --> 00:41:53,560
Speaker 1: we were on that too, Like we've done a ton

839
00:41:53,600 --> 00:41:56,440
Speaker 1: of those things together. So yeah, okay, so Batman. Ye see,

840
00:41:56,440 --> 00:41:58,280
Speaker 1: I knew the answer. Obviously it was going to be Batman.

841
00:41:58,320 --> 00:41:59,920
Speaker 1: Of course it was going to be bad. By the way,

842
00:42:00,040 --> 00:42:02,480
Speaker 1: for the record, you'd be a great back. Just throw

843
00:42:02,520 --> 00:42:05,319
Speaker 1: that out. You should do Robert Pattinson's Batman. That's what

844
00:42:05,480 --> 00:42:08,720
Speaker 1: that's how. You just just whisper everything, and it doesn't

845
00:42:08,760 --> 00:42:10,920
Speaker 1: matter if you're in the batsuit or not in the batsuit.

846
00:42:11,000 --> 00:42:13,120
Speaker 1: You're Bruce Wayne, Now you're Batman. Now you're Bruce Wayne,

847
00:42:13,120 --> 00:42:18,239
Speaker 1: Now you're a batman. Awesome. What are we going to do? Alfred? Um? No?

848
00:42:18,360 --> 00:42:20,359
Speaker 1: But then he had a little bit of the angst too.

849
00:42:20,440 --> 00:42:23,319
Speaker 1: That was like, God, way get a little bit of

850
00:42:23,360 --> 00:42:30,799
Speaker 1: that right trying to fight? Could you spend the next

851
00:42:30,800 --> 00:42:35,240
Speaker 1: half hour fitting this enormous suit in this tiny backpack? Um? Okay.

852
00:42:35,280 --> 00:42:38,040
Speaker 1: So we are going to bring in a fan who

863
00:43:22,880 --> 00:43:25,439

00:43:29,200 --> 00:43:33,520
Speaker 1: and I are voicing two little mice that are trying

866
00:43:33,520 --> 00:43:35,480
Speaker 1: to get from one side of the garden to the

867
00:43:35,480 --> 00:43:37,200
Speaker 1: other side of the garden, and we are going to

868
00:43:37,280 --> 00:43:41,000
Speaker 1: be meeting a number of other woodland friends along the way,

869
00:43:41,080 --> 00:43:44,719
Speaker 1: whether it be other mice, whether it be some of

870
00:43:44,760 --> 00:43:46,840
Speaker 1: the foliage. If a flower wants to have a voice,

871
00:43:46,920 --> 00:43:50,440
Speaker 1: or a mushroom wants to have a voice, uh, or

872

00:44:17,880 --> 00:44:21,000
Speaker 1: After we meet our hyacinth. Next to the hyacinth, there

881
00:44:21,080 --> 00:44:22,960
Speaker 1: is going to be what and who are you going

882
00:44:23,000 --> 00:44:25,759
Speaker 1: to be? And show us you're some of your voiceover talent. Oh,

883
00:44:25,800 --> 00:44:28,719
Speaker 1: I guess I'll be playing my character Zeke, which is

884
00:44:28,760 --> 00:44:34,520
Speaker 1: a from my animated web series that I do. Okay, cool,

885
00:44:34,560 --> 00:44:37,960
Speaker 1: So then yeah, he's basically like a cocky Uh, well,

886
00:44:38,000 --> 00:44:40,120
Speaker 1: he's not cocky, but he's a pilot who's kind of

887
00:44:40,200 --> 00:44:43,600
Speaker 1: uses like a cocky persona to kind of hide his

888
00:44:43,840 --> 00:44:48,160
Speaker 1: uh his issues. Is he a human character? Yes? Okay,

889
00:44:48,200 --> 00:44:51,480
Speaker 1: so what it is is through a the power of magic,

890
00:44:51,600 --> 00:44:55,880
Speaker 1: which is absolutely wonderful. Uh, this is now becoming like Honey,

891
00:44:55,920 --> 00:45:00,759
Speaker 1: I shrunk the kids and the garden is huge, and

892
00:45:00,840 --> 00:45:04,040
Speaker 1: so there can be a full size human also in

893
00:45:04,120 --> 00:45:06,040
Speaker 1: the garden as the mice are trying to get through.

894
00:45:06,120 --> 00:45:10,520
Speaker 1: So Jason is the hyacinth. Christie, have you named your

999
00:51:19,480 --> 00:51:23,480
Speaker 1: fans and share like intimate stories with them about how

1000
00:51:23,600 --> 00:51:27,120
Speaker 1: our characters, some of their legacies made such an impact

1001
00:51:27,160 --> 00:51:29,040
Speaker 1: on them. Like I have people come up to me

1002
00:51:29,080 --> 00:51:30,799
Speaker 1: all the time and be like, you know, my mom

1003

Speaker 1: was sick and this was what I watched, you know

1004
00:51:34,480 --> 00:51:36,759
Speaker 1: to make me feel better. Stuff like that, or I

Speaker 1: will try to encourage them further and I'm like, make

1017
00:52:14,719 --> 00:52:16,759
Speaker 1: sure you put your your social handle on here and

1018
00:52:16,760 --> 00:52:18,880
Speaker 1: show people this, like some of them don't even know

1019
00:52:18,960 --> 00:52:22,280
Speaker 1: basic things like that. Yeah, those interactions are so valuable

1020
00:52:22,320 --> 00:52:24,360
Speaker 1: because I'm such a fan of artists as well. Do

1021
00:52:24,400 --> 00:52:27,319
Speaker 1: you ever wonder, with the talent that you had artistically,

1022
00:52:27,520 --> 00:52:30,200
Speaker 1: what your childhood would have been like had you had

1023
00:52:30,200 --> 00:52:33,640
Speaker 1: social media? I mean, think about just what you could

1024
00:52:33,680 --> 00:52:35,879
Speaker 1: have done back in the day with social I would

1025
00:52:35,920 --> 00:52:37,360
Speaker 1: I would have I would have had a YouTube channel.

1026
00:52:37,360 --> 00:52:38,560
Speaker 1: I mean, come on, I think we all would have

1027
00:52:38,600 --> 00:52:41,280
Speaker 1: would have the time to dedicate to doing silly stuff

1028
00:52:41,320 --> 00:52:44,360
Speaker 1: like that. My son watches YouTubers all the time and he's, uh,

1029
00:52:44,840 --> 00:52:46,640
Speaker 1: these kids he follows and I forget that what their

1030
00:52:46,680 --> 00:52:50,840
Speaker 1: name is, but they're like twelve and they write songs

1031
00:52:51,040 --> 00:52:54,200
Speaker 1: and they do videos, and they do in kreen screen.

1032
00:52:54,440 --> 00:52:56,640
Speaker 1: But they don't care about like you know, like it's

1033
00:52:56,680 --> 00:52:59,680
Speaker 1: obviously green screens, obviously cut together. They don't care. It's

1034
00:52:59,760 --> 00:53:02,960
Speaker 1: it's the editing and the content that is just so

1035
00:53:03,040 --> 00:53:05,440
Speaker 1: funny and random. I like I would I would be

1036
00:53:05,440 --> 00:53:06,919
Speaker 1: doing stuff like that all the time. I would wrote

1037
00:53:06,960 --> 00:53:09,320
Speaker 1: you into doing that because I was doing that with you.

1038
00:53:11,280 --> 00:53:14,600
Speaker 1: I would a had They always had a high video

1039
00:53:14,640 --> 00:53:17,600
Speaker 1: camera and we would do stuff and Nope, you know,

1040
00:53:17,880 --> 00:53:19,000
Speaker 1: if you if you want to see it, you have

1041
00:53:19,040 --> 00:53:21,680
Speaker 1: to come over and plug it into your television. Yeah,

1042
00:53:21,680 --> 00:53:23,719
Speaker 1: it wasn't called content at the time. It was just

1043
00:53:23,840 --> 00:53:26,279
Speaker 1: the stuff you were shooting. Yeah, it's stuff like can

1044
00:53:26,320 --> 00:53:30,760
Speaker 1: I tap over this? We gotta record bold the Beautiful? Yeah, exactly.

1045
00:53:31,400 --> 00:53:33,560
Speaker 1: All right, So we're wrapping this up here, Mr Marston,

1046
00:53:33,600 --> 00:53:36,319
Speaker 1: But I do have one final question that I'd like

1047
00:53:36,360 --> 00:53:40,000
Speaker 1: to ask you, and that is, if you had the

1048
00:53:40,040 --> 00:53:45,359
Speaker 1: opportunity to meet you starting out in the business, what

1049
00:53:45,400 --> 00:53:50,279
Speaker 1: advice would you give yourself. Oh, man, I'd say, you

1050
00:53:50,360 --> 00:53:54,800
Speaker 1: gotta relax, You got to uh, don't get too comfortable,

1051
00:53:55,040 --> 00:53:58,640
Speaker 1: keep learning, keep going to acting classes. Don't get cocky

1052
00:53:58,680 --> 00:54:00,880
Speaker 1: because this magic car and where I can be yanked

1053
00:54:01,200 --> 00:54:05,560
Speaker 1: out from under you at any time. And you know,

1054
00:54:06,040 --> 00:54:08,120
Speaker 1: listen to the directors, listened to writer. I was a

1055
00:54:08,160 --> 00:54:11,640
Speaker 1: very cocky, arrogant young actor, and uh, I would love

1056
00:54:11,680 --> 00:54:14,440
Speaker 1: to have been a little bit more present and absorbed

1057
00:54:14,480 --> 00:54:19,280
Speaker 1: more instead of thinking I knew everything, uh, because I didn't. Uh.

1058
00:54:19,280 --> 00:54:21,600
Speaker 1: And uh, and maybe stay up to your parents, stand

1059
00:54:21,640 --> 00:54:23,879
