Speaker 1: be sitting on a pane and Kevin Conroy will start

00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:11,600
Speaker 1: to sing. I feel blue, Am I Blue? Am I blue?

Speaker 1: will see hundreds of people like go insane to see this.

24
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:47,640
Speaker 1: And normally he's sitting next to the people who played

25
00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:51,240
Speaker 1: wonder Woman Greenland doesn't matter all eyes, Kevin Conroy, and

26
00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:54,200
Speaker 1: he just owns the stage. It is absolutely, of course

27
00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:57,720
Speaker 1: sitting here with look about love that will of course

28
00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:00,640
Speaker 1: it's Bill loves you so much. He's men. We worked

29
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:06,880
Speaker 1: together for twenty two When do we start? Five years?

30
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:09,560
Speaker 1: Twenty five years? Seven we started, and it was my

31
00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:12,600
Speaker 1: first ever animated series, and you took me under your

32
00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:15,200
Speaker 1: wing from day one, and you didn't have to. You

33
00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:17,400
Speaker 1: easily could have been one of those actors. But this

34
00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:19,720
Speaker 1: is why we keep talking about the voiceover world compared

35
00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:23,040
Speaker 1: to the on camera world. Because I walked into that room.

36
00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:25,920
Speaker 1: I was as frightened as I've ever been in my life.

37
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:28,400
Speaker 1: I've never done an animated series, and now I've been

38
00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:32,720
Speaker 1: cast as Batman and Batman Beyond with Drey Romano directing, Bruce,

39
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:37,600
Speaker 1: Tim Paul Deaney, Glenn Murakami, all these incredible people involved. Uh,

40
00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:39,560
Speaker 1: and You're sitting there going what am I going to do?

41
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:42,600
Speaker 1: And I'm sitting next to Kevin Conroy, who had help

42
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:46,720
Speaker 1: Batman forever. He easily could have been who are you kid?

43
00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:52,239
Speaker 1: What are you doing here? But but he was, but

44
00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:54,960
Speaker 1: he didn't. He opened his arms. He taught me how

45
00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:59,120
Speaker 1: to sit behind the microphone. Yeah, I was gonna say,

46
00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:00,880
Speaker 1: how did you had? Did you teach him? Do you

47
00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:04,920
Speaker 1: remember meeting him? There's certain tricks in the sound room

48
00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:08,000
Speaker 1: that when you come from the outside, you don't understand that.

49
00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:10,880
Speaker 1: You know, every noise in the room is being recorded

50
00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:14,560
Speaker 1: and when other people are acting, because Warner Brothers likes

51
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:17,720
Speaker 1: to get all the cats together, so you're not working

52
00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:20,160
Speaker 1: in a vacuum. You're working. It's like recording a play.

53
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:22,560
Speaker 1: So all these other people are in the same room together,

54
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:27,040
Speaker 1: all those mics are live. So every time you turn

55
00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:30,960
Speaker 1: a page it can destroy someone else's performance. Someone can

56
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:33,840
Speaker 1: give a great take and then someone rustles a page

57
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:36,160
Speaker 1: over there and their take has to be done again.

58
00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:39,880
Speaker 1: Do you have any memories of anybody ruining a take

59
00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:42,520
Speaker 1: that was like really some of your best work kind

60
00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:48,600
Speaker 1: of thing. Has anyone ruined your perform exactly? Who do

61
00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:54,600
Speaker 1: you hate? Let's really screwed up? No? But then so

62
00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:56,840
Speaker 1: there's an art to turning the page by picking up

63
00:03:56,880 --> 00:03:59,400
Speaker 1: the entire page and moving it over and laying it

64
00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:01,560
Speaker 1: down right and turning it. You do it that way

65
00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:04,360
Speaker 1: without making any noise. But you talked, someone just got

66
00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:07,160
Speaker 1: to show you. It's just basics like that. So Will

67
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:10,560
Speaker 1: had never been in a sound studio like before, so

68
00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:13,760
Speaker 1: he just needed someone to Did you know his work

69
00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:16,400
Speaker 1: from other other things he was doing, or what was

70
00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:19,920
Speaker 1: your first impression of Will? A great guy? Yeah, who

71
00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:22,960
Speaker 1: I knew came from a very successful show that I

72
00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:26,560
Speaker 1: had never seen. Just not that much of a I'm

73
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:28,720
Speaker 1: not a TV junker. You also were in our demographic

74
00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:32,520
Speaker 1: if I wasn't, if you're honest, and but I knew

75
00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:34,760
Speaker 1: he'd done a successful show, and I wasn't sure. You know,

76
00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:38,400
Speaker 1: actors or people, there are sometimes if you feed them

77
00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:42,000
Speaker 1: and they're not such a nice ones. There are generous

78
00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:44,760
Speaker 1: ones and selfish one. Yeah, there are people you want

79
00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:46,640
Speaker 1: to work with and they're pricks you just want to avoid.

80
00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:50,240
Speaker 1: Did I just use a bad word? That's okay, Well

81
00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:55,200
Speaker 1: we can bleep it. It's not. No, it's not Those

82
00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:57,200
Speaker 1: kids have heard that by this point. But so when

83
00:04:57,240 --> 00:04:59,560
Speaker 1: you're dealing with someone who came from a successful show.

84
00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:01,200
Speaker 1: You don't know you're going to be dealing with you.

85
00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:02,880
Speaker 1: So I didn't know. I don't know who was he

86
00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:04,560
Speaker 1: going to come in with a lot of attitude, you know?

87
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:10,680
Speaker 1: And he didn't. He came in ready to work, open, giving, generous.

88
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:13,040
Speaker 1: You know. I should have known because Andrea Romano, who

89
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:16,279
Speaker 1: cast the show. She's my sister. By the way, christ Romano,

90
00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:21,240
Speaker 1: I wish I still haven't better. My last name is Romano. Yes,

91
00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:23,560
Speaker 1: I wonder if you're related. Sometime I kind of do.

92
00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:27,960
Speaker 1: I think I've actually messed Romano. Good question. I want

93
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:30,600
Speaker 1: to I want to work with all these wonderful women.

94
00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:34,800
Speaker 1: A voice has another batman, it's a Reno is a man,

95
00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:38,120
Speaker 1: and I said it was a woman. I'm sorry. Is

96
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:42,200
Speaker 1: a great guy. But anyway, Um, she always brings people

97
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:47,120
Speaker 1: together who are just generous, fun, creative, not a lot

98
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:51,520
Speaker 1: of judgment, not a lot of attitude, just ready to play.

99
00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:53,880
Speaker 1: That's what all the bookings have always been like for

100
00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:58,719
Speaker 1: thirty years. Just no attitude. Yeah, well it is lucky,

101
00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:01,640
Speaker 1: but it's not lucky. It's it's Andrea. Yes, you know

102
00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:03,400
Speaker 1: what I mean. There's more of a science to it,

103
00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:06,039
Speaker 1: I think than just look she knows what to look

104
00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:10,000
Speaker 1: for in people, and she brings wonderful people together. She

105
00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:12,400
Speaker 1: also so here's here's a question for you, because one

106
00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:15,160
Speaker 1: of the things that Andrea I always noticed did was

107
00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:17,800
Speaker 1: she just she cares about the acting. That's all. It's all.

108
00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:19,479
Speaker 1: It's about, just get the best actor you can for

109
00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:22,880
Speaker 1: the role. However, at the same time, she's turned more

110
00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:27,520
Speaker 1: quote unquote on camera actors into voiceover actors than anybody

111
00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:30,799
Speaker 1: else I've ever seen. I've never done a voiceover role before.

112
00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:32,880
Speaker 1: I now consider myself more of a voiceover actor than

113
00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:35,400
Speaker 1: I do an on camera actor. Will Wheaton. You know,

114
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:37,640
Speaker 1: there's a giant group of us who look at Andrea

115
00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:40,960
Speaker 1: and essentially say, we were one thing in this industry,

116
00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:43,559
Speaker 1: and then you brought us into a whole another side,

117
00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:46,880
Speaker 1: and now we consider ourselves a whole different thing. So

118
00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:49,160
Speaker 1: there's a strange justs where yes, she wants to get

119
00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:51,239
Speaker 1: the best actor possible, but then she takes that actor

120
00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:54,479
Speaker 1: and brings them into this world and it's like, now

121
00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:57,280
Speaker 1: you're something else, and there's something really I mean, well,

122
00:06:57,279 --> 00:07:00,200
Speaker 1: I mean you started on stage, didn't You was a

123
00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:03,520
Speaker 1: New York actor, much like you're Juilliard trained as well.

124
00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:09,480
Speaker 1: You know, they rejected me classics. Okay, so I pre

125
00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:13,240
Speaker 1: fools them, Yes, okay, I totally see it. So I

126
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:18,960
Speaker 1: I was infatuated. My mom used to call it cross training,

127
00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:20,960
Speaker 1: but she was like, yeah, let's do the dancing. Let's

128
00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:22,840
Speaker 1: go to School of American Ballet. I got kicked out

129
00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:25,000
Speaker 1: of there and I went to I went to Performing

130
00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:27,280
Speaker 1: Arts school right there by the Fame School. I went

131
00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:31,200
Speaker 1: to Professional Children's School. Anyway, long story short, I auditioned.

132
00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:33,440
Speaker 1: I trained for about a year to be a color

133
00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:37,840
Speaker 1: tour soprano in the pre college Juilliard program. I was

134
00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:39,960
Speaker 1: not accepted into the program. They said I had because

135
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:41,720
Speaker 1: I was a Broadway kid, so I did a lot

136
00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:44,400
Speaker 1: of Broadway belting. It turns out I had too many

137
00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:47,600
Speaker 1: bad habits for Juilliard. Really, but my god, is Juilliard

138
00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:50,960
Speaker 1: amazing And anyone that's done Juilliard training has a lot

139
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:55,120
Speaker 1: of respect. It's it's it's grueling. I mean it's it's

140
00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:57,320
Speaker 1: it's a grueling experience for somebody who doesn't know anything

141
00:07:57,320 --> 00:07:59,440
Speaker 1: about Juilliard. Is it a four year program, is it

142
00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:02,720
Speaker 1: a two year It can be many things. There's the

143
00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:05,320
Speaker 1: pre college. There are a lot of different programs you

144
00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:07,240
Speaker 1: can do what you did the four years you did

145
00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:10,679
Speaker 1: four you I was seventeen, I'd left high school early.

146
00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:12,520
Speaker 1: I was the youngest one in the school when I

147
00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:14,360
Speaker 1: went in, but I was six too, and I had

148
00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:16,920
Speaker 1: a deep voice. Yeah, no one really thought about it,

149
00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:19,280
Speaker 1: you know, because I just fit right in. But um,

150
00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:21,880
Speaker 1: so I really wanted he's hit looking guy too, if

151
00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:27,040
Speaker 1: for honest, Oh come on, forget about forget about how

152
00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:30,880
Speaker 1: you're still a hugely attractive man. Show me pictures of

153
00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:33,200
Speaker 1: himself back in the day. I think he's dashing. It

154
00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:36,920
Speaker 1: was like, it was incredible. I mean, you're, let's be honest,

155
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:39,760
Speaker 1: he's pretty damn good looking at I'm coming back here.

156
00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:44,000
Speaker 1: But it's like this company, but the whole package when

157
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:46,040
Speaker 1: it comes to especially back in the day, what they're

158
00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:48,280
Speaker 1: what you're looking for as an actor, I mean, commanding

159
00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:50,640
Speaker 1: the presence of the talent. I mean. But so I

160
00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:52,440
Speaker 1: went for the four year program because I wanted to

161
00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:55,760
Speaker 1: get a b f A. Which involved doing academics on

162
00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:58,160
Speaker 1: the side. Oh where did you do? The academy on

163
00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:02,040
Speaker 1: the fourth floor, So Juilliard, and they had special teachers

164
00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:04,520
Speaker 1: who would come in and be you know, you're you're

165
00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:08,079
Speaker 1: dealing with people in Essay, BA School of Americans, the

166
00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:12,720
Speaker 1: American Opera Center. I mean, all these incredibly you know,

167
00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:16,160
Speaker 1: stars of their generation with dance and singing and acting.

168
00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:18,760
Speaker 1: You know, Kevin Klein's in your regular slus that kind

169
00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:23,040
Speaker 1: of stuff. And you're talking about you know, Dickens or something.

170
00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:26,760
Speaker 1: You're studying English literature with people who are really thinking

171
00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:29,520
Speaker 1: about what they're going to have to perform that night.

172
00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:32,600
Speaker 1: You know, what they're going to present my experience. I mean,

173
00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:35,400
Speaker 1: it's all about performance. It's all performance oriented. So these

174
00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:38,520
Speaker 1: academic classes were such an afterthought. They were they were

175
00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:41,920
Speaker 1: kind of a joke. Yeah, I understandably that everyone went

176
00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:44,040
Speaker 1: to just to you know, get the basic training. So

177
00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:46,240
Speaker 1: if you get a f A because you were spending

178
00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:54,000
Speaker 1: you know, twelve fourteen, sixteen hours a day in performing fencing, dance, movement, voice, diction,

179
00:09:54,120 --> 00:10:00,280
Speaker 1: acting classes, poetry classes, French mass. For e to one

180
00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:03,120
Speaker 1: of those classes, you have to perform. It's all performance based.

181
00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:07,040
Speaker 1: So you're doing a French mass class and I you

182
00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:09,080
Speaker 1: know defense, Oh my gosh, did you know that? I

183
00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:11,319
Speaker 1: did not know. I was trained by B. H. Barry.

184
00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:15,120
Speaker 1: The you know, there's I don't know. He said, no,

185
00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:19,880
Speaker 1: he's um, he's like the stage fighting theater stage fighting guy,

186
00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:23,760
Speaker 1: a British, wonderful stage fighting. But Pierre Lefevre taught me

187
00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:26,080
Speaker 1: French map. Now see that in that name. And I

188
00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:30,360
Speaker 1: was in that class with Robin Williams. So my presentation,

189
00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:33,800
Speaker 1: I did a scene from Peter Pan, the fight between

190
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:37,760
Speaker 1: Captain Hook and Peter Pan as the characters, and we

191
00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:40,559
Speaker 1: staged a fight. And who did I do with Harriet? Harris?

192
00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:46,240
Speaker 1: Harriet were wonderful character actors? Wait were you Peter? Okay,

193
00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:48,559
Speaker 1: you are the bad guy because of his height and

194
00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:53,640
Speaker 1: my voice. But you present these pieces and you know

195
00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:56,320
Speaker 1: it takes weeks to work on these things and present

196
00:10:56,400 --> 00:11:00,120
Speaker 1: them and then get judged by torn down. Oh the

197
00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:03,520
Speaker 1: judgment was. But then in poetry class you're doing you know,

198
00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:09,400
Speaker 1: you're preparing poetry to to have judged, and it's it's grueling.

199
00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:11,440
Speaker 1: It's a grueling experience. So you don't have time to

200
00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:14,360
Speaker 1: prepare academics. So I'm actually really curious about this because

201
00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:16,480
Speaker 1: in speaking to somebody who's gone to Juilliard, I don't

202
00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:19,719
Speaker 1: think I really have had that interaction. Did you want

203
00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:23,200
Speaker 1: to leave at any point just to do traditional industry work?

204
00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:26,720
Speaker 1: Or did anyone else want to just stop the grueling?

205
00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:31,000
Speaker 1: That's such a good question. I was scared. I always

206
00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:35,440
Speaker 1: wondered if I should leave and just start acting. Okay,

207
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:38,840
Speaker 1: wouldn't you learn more by just doing? Because the first

208
00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:41,439
Speaker 1: two years are really the training there. The second two

209
00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:45,920
Speaker 1: years are all performance based people application of what you've learned.

210
00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:50,360
Speaker 1: But the thought of swimming in the deep pool at

211
00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:53,880
Speaker 1: the age of eighteen nineteen, it scared me. I wanted

212
00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:56,080
Speaker 1: to stay in the school. Now did you go to

213
00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:57,880
Speaker 1: become an actor? Did you go to become a singer?

214
00:11:57,920 --> 00:11:59,960
Speaker 1: Did you go to be collected? It was an actor? Okay,

215
00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:02,160
Speaker 1: Now there's one thing, So going back a little bit

216
00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:03,680
Speaker 1: earlier in your life, there's one thing that I'm the

217
00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:06,240
Speaker 1: only one at this table that knows, which is all

218
00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:09,640
Speaker 1: three of us are from Connecticut. Are you from CONNECTICUTT?

219
00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:13,080
Speaker 1: Are you from CONNECTICUTT? Of course I'm from Say I

220
00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:17,240
Speaker 1: was doing? I was doing from Hartford, I'm from I

221
00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:19,640
Speaker 1: was born in Harvard. I'm from from a town in Avon,

222
00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:24,400
Speaker 1: And you were from Milford. Where are you from? West Pole?

223
00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:27,199
Speaker 1: Fancy guy? Three? Kid? Now, for anybody doesn't Connecticut, we

224
00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:29,280
Speaker 1: are from three different sides of Connecticut and that's still

225
00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:31,719
Speaker 1: a half hour away from each other. Um, what what

226
00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:34,679
Speaker 1: kind of Connecticut's are we all from? What? What kind

227
00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:37,520
Speaker 1: of Connecticut is Avon? Or was it? Avon? Connecticut? Is

228
00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:41,560
Speaker 1: exactly as it sounds. It was. It was farmland, it

229
00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:43,520
Speaker 1: was I mean, it was a small town, but it

230
00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:46,679
Speaker 1: was upper middle class and you know, very hoity toity

231
00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:49,199
Speaker 1: kind of people. And we were not that family, but

232
00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:50,760
Speaker 1: I mean there were kids in high school that drove

233
00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:53,160
Speaker 1: the BMW's and all that kind of stuff. Again, not

234
00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:55,720
Speaker 1: our family, but that's what it was like. So it

235
00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:58,560
Speaker 1: was what you would expect a place that sounds like Avon,

236
00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:02,720
Speaker 1: Connecticut would be any did Yeah, there were the Avon

237
00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:05,240
Speaker 1: country clubs. And again I went to a public high school.

238
00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:07,840
Speaker 1: So I went to Avon High I because I had to.

239
00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:11,120
Speaker 1: I was swimming in the deep end. I never was trained.

240
00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:13,640
Speaker 1: So I started acting at a very young age. And

241
00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:15,560
Speaker 1: I would take the bus. It was three hours from

242
00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:18,200
Speaker 1: Farmington to New York, uh, and I would do that

243
00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:19,840
Speaker 1: once or twice a week for auditions to be told.

244
00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:21,120
Speaker 1: You'd walk in there, you go, no, you don't have

245
00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:22,800
Speaker 1: red hair, and you go thank you. When you turn around,

246
00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:25,040
Speaker 1: your walk out and at twelve, I was walking around

247
00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:27,199
Speaker 1: New York City and in the eighties and the bus

248
00:13:27,280 --> 00:13:29,439
Speaker 1: would drop you off of Port Authority. My manager was

249
00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:32,160
Speaker 1: supposed to be me there. Sometimes he did, sometimes he didn't.

250
00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:35,640
Speaker 1: I would walk to my audition and it's I mean,

251
00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:37,480
Speaker 1: there's there was no better way to grow up. I

252
00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:40,560
Speaker 1: never had a problem. Uh, nobody ever accosted me. I

253
00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:43,240
Speaker 1: knew the homeless people in Port Authority by name. Where

254
00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:44,920
Speaker 1: I would literally get off the bus and somebody go,

255
00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:47,000
Speaker 1: I break a leg today, will and I go, thanks, Harvey,

256
00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:49,080
Speaker 1: And I'd walk through the you know, it was It

257
00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:50,599
Speaker 1: was a great experience for me. It really made me.

258
00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:53,480
Speaker 1: But you know, and then I did my first show

259
00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:56,320
Speaker 1: in New York and at fifty Unit Television Studio at

260
00:13:56,320 --> 00:13:58,520
Speaker 1: fifty five and ninth. What was your first show? Don't

261
00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:00,560
Speaker 1: just sit there on Nicola both who else? I know

262
00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:03,560
Speaker 1: that show? That was my first one, that was nine.

263
00:14:03,920 --> 00:14:07,640
Speaker 1: But the idea of being trained to do it I

264
00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:10,640
Speaker 1: never did, And I think I suffered because of that.

265
00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:12,080
Speaker 1: I mean, obviously, if you had to go back and

266
00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:14,440
Speaker 1: do it again, knowing your success, would you just jump

267
00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:15,800
Speaker 1: into the deep end or would you go back to

268
00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:18,400
Speaker 1: Juilliard again? No? I. I learned an awful lot. That's

269
00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:23,040
Speaker 1: what I was. I was emotionally very immature at seventeen.

270
00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:25,040
Speaker 1: I had a lot to learn. The city was overwhelming.

271
00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:27,720
Speaker 1: Everything about the experience was overwhelming. My first job in

272
00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:29,960
Speaker 1: the city was as a mailman, as a mail carrier,

273
00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:33,920
Speaker 1: really delivering the mail for a private mail service. When

274
00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:36,560
Speaker 1: I was seventeen, on a bike walking, how are you

275
00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:38,560
Speaker 1: doing it? I had a card pushed card. It was

276
00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:41,320
Speaker 1: one of those guys on Sixth Avenue, see pushing, Yeah,

277
00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:43,960
Speaker 1: did you have your beat? Like the like the wow.

278
00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:46,800
Speaker 1: It was like a private business mail service. It was

279
00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:52,840
Speaker 1: before FedEx and and um, so they would all subscribe

280
00:14:52,920 --> 00:14:57,880
Speaker 1: to this airline mail service. Basically, the mail room was

281
00:14:57,920 --> 00:15:00,760
Speaker 1: underneath Grand Central. So you come in. I come in

282
00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:03,120
Speaker 1: on the morning train from Connecticut at like five am

283
00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:05,800
Speaker 1: and go to the mail room and start sorting all

284
00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:08,000
Speaker 1: the mail. And all the guys in there were wonderful.

285
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:13,400
Speaker 1: They were all these New York tough, blue collar young men,

286
00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:17,680
Speaker 1: all men, real characters like a sitcom. And I went

287
00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:20,080
Speaker 1: to go to my Juilliard audition from that mail room

288
00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:23,680
Speaker 1: and they were so you know. God. They used to

289
00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:26,680
Speaker 1: call me Shakespeare because I was always working on Shakespeare,

290
00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:28,680
Speaker 1: and I was working on my pieces and stuff. They go,

291
00:15:28,800 --> 00:15:31,560
Speaker 1: go for Shakespeare, go for it. You gotta get in there.

292
00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:36,160
Speaker 1: And the day I got my acceptance, they all like

293
00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:38,920
Speaker 1: picked me up in the air and they carried me

294
00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:42,480
Speaker 1: out and they got me drunk ish. It was such

295
00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:45,680
Speaker 1: a wonderful New York moment. They just adopted this kid,

296
00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:50,720
Speaker 1: you know. And so that was a job that you

297
00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:53,960
Speaker 1: commuted to, like before you heard about Juilliard. So you

298
00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:57,720
Speaker 1: were kind of already going into New York. Interesting. I

299
00:15:57,840 --> 00:15:59,560
Speaker 1: was gonna have to get a scholarship to go, so

300
00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:01,880
Speaker 1: I had to save up as much money as I could.

301
00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:05,280
Speaker 1: That's amazing. That's amazing. Now what did you want to do?

302
00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:07,680
Speaker 1: You got to pick your career from Juilliard. You could

303
00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:09,480
Speaker 1: be a film star, you could be a TV star,

304
00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:11,960
Speaker 1: you could be on Broadway. What what would you do?

305
00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:17,960
Speaker 1: You're both much younger than me. It was different in

306
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:22,000
Speaker 1: the seventies, right, There was still a theater that you

307
00:16:22,040 --> 00:16:26,960
Speaker 1: could make a living in. Really, yeah, I mean you

308
00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:31,480
Speaker 1: could train to be a classical actor. Used to go

309
00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:36,240
Speaker 1: to the American Shakespeare Festival Stratford, Connectquet. See the plays there.

310
00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:39,480
Speaker 1: I saw brilliant, aren't they didn't it burn down recently?

311
00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:42,880
Speaker 1: Oh my god. But you would see these actors who

312
00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:45,560
Speaker 1: did these amazing performances, and we're making a wonderful living

313
00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:50,400
Speaker 1: at the theater. And that doesn't exist anymore anymore. I mean,

314
00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:52,280
Speaker 1: you have to supplement your income with other things. You

315
00:16:52,360 --> 00:17:01,120
Speaker 1: have to Yes, sponsored content, sponsor. The section of Catacandra

316
00:17:01,160 --> 00:17:03,400
Speaker 1: has been brought to you by m X. Now. I

317
00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:06,320
Speaker 1: hate to keep bringing integrating, but I'm just so impressed

318
00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:08,520
Speaker 1: by you that I'm trying to, like, like I need

319
00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:10,359
Speaker 1: to tell you certain things, so like, because we're all

320
00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:13,479
Speaker 1: from Connecticut, right, the worst audition I've ever had in

321
00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:19,439
Speaker 1: my life was for that Stratford Shakespeare. I was always

322
00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:21,679
Speaker 1: this Disney kid. I did a bunch of Disney shows

323
00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:24,040
Speaker 1: growing up, and but I did actually start in theater

324
00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:26,720
Speaker 1: like I was in was Mary Fagan Original Mary Fagan

325
00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:30,960
Speaker 1: and parade Um with Jason Robert Brown and hell Prince

326
00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:33,360
Speaker 1: and all that. And I was just a theater kid.

327
00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:35,159
Speaker 1: And then Disney kind of plucked me into l A

328
00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:38,600
Speaker 1: and then I sort of did a wonderful production. I was, yes,

329
00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:40,760
Speaker 1: the one that closed got closed down from Live In.

330
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:44,280
Speaker 1: Yeah that was fantastic, thank you. Yeah, it was amazing

331
00:17:44,320 --> 00:17:46,240
Speaker 1: to be a part of that. So theater was how

332
00:17:46,280 --> 00:17:48,320
Speaker 1: I started and going back and forth as a kid

333
00:17:48,359 --> 00:17:50,760
Speaker 1: from Connecticut to New York. So that's why I really

334
00:17:50,760 --> 00:17:53,840
Speaker 1: resonate with that part of your story. But I will

335
00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:57,280
Speaker 1: also say worst choice of my life was thinking that

336
00:17:57,320 --> 00:17:59,880
Speaker 1: I could just try to be auditioning for Romeo and Chew.

337
00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:02,720
Speaker 1: Now I can do. I was like, all of a sudden,

338
00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:05,000
Speaker 1: my Mom's like, go for it. I was like, okay,

339
00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:09,040
Speaker 1: I said, literally standing there like like this, just terrified.

340
00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:11,760
Speaker 1: I couldn't get through one like Stanza or whatever it was.

341
00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:15,520
Speaker 1: It just just bombed. Shakespeare's not for me. I leave

342
00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:19,639
Speaker 1: it to Well. I mean, I think that brings brings

343
00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:21,680
Speaker 1: it to kind of an interesting point in the conversation

344
00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:23,440
Speaker 1: where we're going to get into v O because it's

345
00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:27,359
Speaker 1: about v O. But it seems like acting itself has

346
00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:32,639
Speaker 1: changed where there doesn't seem to be the discipline that

347
00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:36,280
Speaker 1: there once was. There isn't the study of acting as

348
00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:39,639
Speaker 1: a craft as much anymore. And it's more I've got talent,

349
00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:44,040
Speaker 1: it's natural, just hire me to be myself and arsenalitying

350
00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:46,000
Speaker 1: that more. Do you see that more and more with

351
00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:48,760
Speaker 1: the generations coming up? Where it's like, which is why

352
00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:51,359
Speaker 1: it seems like everything we're watching, whether it's television or film,

353
00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:54,960
Speaker 1: everybody's British because they still study the craft of acting,

354
00:18:55,240 --> 00:19:00,320
Speaker 1: whereas we're more about being celebrities, they're still about being actors. Yeah.

355
00:19:00,840 --> 00:19:05,680
Speaker 1: Acting is the art of communication, right, It's it's communicating,

356
00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:08,800
Speaker 1: it's telling stories. It's as old as the caveman. It's

357
00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:12,359
Speaker 1: telling stories and elevating it to an art form. And

358
00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:16,160
Speaker 1: the more intimate you can make that story, the more personal,

359
00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:19,200
Speaker 1: the more at risk you can make it for you,

360
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:22,720
Speaker 1: the more compelling it is. People can't take their eyes

361
00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:26,040
Speaker 1: off of you. If you're risking something, if you're really

362
00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:29,920
Speaker 1: exposing who you are, if you're really exposing who you are,

363
00:19:31,240 --> 00:19:34,760
Speaker 1: if you're taking if you're if you're being dangerous, that

364
00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:39,600
Speaker 1: makes it riveting. People have taken that to mean I'm

365
00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:44,000
Speaker 1: just going to be myself in whatever role I play,

366
00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:48,560
Speaker 1: it's about me, rather than taking those personal experiences, those

367
00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:53,879
Speaker 1: personal emotions, that raw emotion and bringing it to the character. Okay,

368
00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:56,359
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. Well, don't you think creating

369
00:19:56,359 --> 00:19:59,080
Speaker 1: a character? American actors don't do that so much anymore,

370
00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:02,640
Speaker 1: do you sound Meryl? Does there are certain actors who

371
00:20:03,080 --> 00:20:04,960
Speaker 1: but for the most part it's the British actress who

372
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:08,720
Speaker 1: do that. I really love Jessica Chastain. I think she's

373
00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:13,159
Speaker 1: isn't she Julie. No, there's a group that does it,

374
00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:14,879
Speaker 1: but there's also I think one of the things that

375
00:20:15,119 --> 00:20:18,000
Speaker 1: it shows about, especially the American society right now, is

376
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:22,320
Speaker 1: there's kind of a pervasive narcissism kind of that is,

377
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:25,399
Speaker 1: you know, it's about everything's about me. It's all about me.

378
00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:29,240
Speaker 1: Whether it is I call it a narcissistic purgatory, well,

379
00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:32,520
Speaker 1: there you go, but it is so when you're making

380
00:20:32,560 --> 00:20:35,320
Speaker 1: everything about you, then the idea that you don't want

381
00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:38,600
Speaker 1: to watch me is so strange. It's alien. Why would

382
00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:40,199
Speaker 1: you not want to watch me just being me? So

383
00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:42,639
Speaker 1: I don't have to study or do anything because just

384
00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:46,200
Speaker 1: me is so amazing And I think you don't see

385
00:20:46,240 --> 00:20:49,680
Speaker 1: that in some of the foreign actors. Um Now the

386
00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:52,440
Speaker 1: question becomes, then bringing it back to what we do here,

387
00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:57,240
Speaker 1: the question becomes, how do you get that same level

388
00:20:57,720 --> 00:21:00,919
Speaker 1: of vulnerability that you've talked about that you need to

389
00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:03,680
Speaker 1: really kind of established to make something compelling When all

390
00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:06,200
Speaker 1: you have to work with is your voice. I find

391
00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:09,320
Speaker 1: it easier when all you have to work with is

392
00:21:09,320 --> 00:21:12,879
Speaker 1: your voice, because you don't have to accommodate the camera,

393
00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:14,560
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. You don't have that whole

394
00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:18,159
Speaker 1: crew standing around you off off camera. You don't have

395
00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:21,080
Speaker 1: the boom man and the lighting guy and the makeup

396
00:21:21,119 --> 00:21:24,159
Speaker 1: person and the camera coming in. Well, it's you and

397
00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:27,280
Speaker 1: the microphone. So it's more intimate. It's so intimate. It's

398
00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:31,679
Speaker 1: it's more of an internal dialogue that that I have

399
00:21:31,800 --> 00:21:35,520
Speaker 1: with the character. So in a booth, I can really

400
00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:40,280
Speaker 1: let go, whereas on camera there's so much more that

401
00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:43,199
Speaker 1: you have to accommodate. I love that choice of words. Yeah,

402
00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:46,200
Speaker 1: So I find it very liberating. I find a sound

403
00:21:46,359 --> 00:21:48,840
Speaker 1: a sound room to be really liberating. It is a

404
00:21:48,880 --> 00:21:51,480
Speaker 1: very peaceful place. It is. It's but it's so strange

405
00:21:51,520 --> 00:21:54,480
Speaker 1: because one of the best overall scenes I've ever seen

406
00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:56,760
Speaker 1: done in a recording room. You and I were doing

407
00:21:56,840 --> 00:21:59,080
Speaker 1: the film Batman Beyond Return of the Joker, which was

408
00:21:59,119 --> 00:22:03,399
Speaker 1: a wonderful film, and I'm sitting in between you and

409
00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:05,840
Speaker 1: Mark Hamill for a week. I just sat there, going,

410
00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:07,440
Speaker 1: just keep your mouth shut or you're gonna get fired

411
00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:10,080
Speaker 1: because you don't belong here. And you never looked at

412
00:22:10,119 --> 00:22:12,360
Speaker 1: each other because you can't. You're staring at the microphone.

413
00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:16,880
Speaker 1: And yet the scene between you and Mark where he's

414
00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:19,040
Speaker 1: being so familiar with her head, oh batsy and just

415
00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:23,159
Speaker 1: being so hybrus and it's so unbelievable. And then you know,

416
00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:25,320
Speaker 1: I've you ever seen Mark Camill work. For everybody out

417
00:22:25,359 --> 00:22:28,480
Speaker 1: there who hasn't, he's devouring the microphone, he's an inch away,

418
00:22:28,520 --> 00:22:33,359
Speaker 1: and he's just so passionate, shakes like a shakes Barian actor,

419
00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:35,879
Speaker 1: he spits a lot. And then there's you who's taken

420
00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:40,040
Speaker 1: this character that is now in his late eighties at

421
00:22:40,080 --> 00:22:44,240
Speaker 1: this point, so you're trying to have that same kind

422
00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:46,879
Speaker 1: of verve that you had when the first time the

423
00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:50,600
Speaker 1: Joker and Batman faced off, but it's not there anymore.

424
00:22:50,680 --> 00:22:53,520
Speaker 1: So there's that sense of the aged as well, and

425
00:22:53,560 --> 00:22:55,040
Speaker 1: the two of you together, and I just sat back

426
00:22:55,080 --> 00:22:57,440
Speaker 1: just going, I don't this, I don't belong here. So

427
00:22:58,800 --> 00:23:02,320
Speaker 1: there's that sense of it's still being a stage play

428
00:23:02,359 --> 00:23:05,600
Speaker 1: in voiceover that sometimes you don't get in television or

429
00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:09,919
Speaker 1: on film. And it's so strange because in some ways

430
00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:12,359
Speaker 1: you're so much more disconnected from your fellow actor and

431
00:23:12,359 --> 00:23:15,680
Speaker 1: that you're not making eye contact, and yet just through

432
00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:18,920
Speaker 1: the microphone there is that familiarity. It's so strange. I

433
00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:20,360
Speaker 1: don't I don't even know how to describe it. It's

434
00:23:20,359 --> 00:23:23,240
Speaker 1: just so odd. It is interesting because you're you're living

435
00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:26,040
Speaker 1: through your voice and you're creating the character, and you're

436
00:23:26,040 --> 00:23:30,000
Speaker 1: creating the drama, and you're creating, uh, the tension, and

437
00:23:30,040 --> 00:23:32,800
Speaker 1: the other actor is doing the same thing. But you're

438
00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:37,040
Speaker 1: not even looking at each other, and there's this intimacy

439
00:23:37,119 --> 00:23:41,000
Speaker 1: that develops, and it's only through the voice. It's really fascinating.

440
00:23:41,119 --> 00:23:44,960
Speaker 1: It's so strange when you see we're gonna get into

441
00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:47,320
Speaker 1: the fact that you are the only correct answer to

442
00:23:47,440 --> 00:23:51,119
Speaker 1: who's the best Batman? We're going to get into that

443
00:23:51,119 --> 00:23:53,840
Speaker 1: to everybody, it's true, but just to you and to me,

444
00:23:54,119 --> 00:23:57,879
Speaker 1: if you and no, no, no, I'm saying who's the

445
00:23:57,880 --> 00:23:59,600
Speaker 1: best Batman? I always say he is or I am.

446
00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:02,320
Speaker 1: That's is the only answer to those things. Um, I

447
00:24:02,359 --> 00:24:04,080
Speaker 1: thought it was you, Now I think it's No. It's

448
00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:07,600
Speaker 1: always it. He's the only correct. When you look at

449
00:24:07,760 --> 00:24:12,160
Speaker 1: especially a Bruce tim drawing of Batman or Bruce Wayne,

450
00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:15,560
Speaker 1: do you see yourself some hard hitting questions, No, you

451
00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:19,840
Speaker 1: don't really see myself you don't I really see the character. Okay,

452
00:24:20,840 --> 00:24:22,840
Speaker 1: there's not a little bit of Kevin in there now,

453
00:24:23,280 --> 00:24:29,640
Speaker 1: I don't know. Maybe the jaw. So then that's one

454
00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:34,080
Speaker 1: of my questions. Let's we were do you see yourself?

455
00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:37,680
Speaker 1: And Ron? Yes, you do? I do? I do? When

456
00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:39,600
Speaker 1: I if, I if because it's funny. It's one of

457
00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:42,439
Speaker 1: the ways that I know I'm not doing the character

458
00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:45,680
Speaker 1: properly is if I can see the drawing or watch

459
00:24:45,760 --> 00:24:48,160
Speaker 1: the show and I don't see myself. Okay. There's been

460
00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:50,560
Speaker 1: several characters I've done where I'm like, I'm not hitting

461
00:24:50,560 --> 00:24:52,119
Speaker 1: it because when I see it, I don't see me.

462
00:24:52,920 --> 00:24:55,040
Speaker 1: I know what you mean. Certain things where I can

463
00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:57,399
Speaker 1: see myself. Ron is one of them. Terry more than

464
00:24:57,440 --> 00:24:59,639
Speaker 1: Batman was one of them. But like when I did

465
00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:03,639
Speaker 1: Guardians of the Galaxy the first episodes, my register was

466
00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:06,080
Speaker 1: too high for the animation and I didn't see myself

467
00:25:06,080 --> 00:25:07,280
Speaker 1: in the character, and it was weird. It was off

468
00:25:07,280 --> 00:25:10,120
Speaker 1: putting to me. But going back to Connecticut, Oh, yes,

469
00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:12,560
Speaker 1: this thing I want to bring you to your childhood.

470
00:25:12,960 --> 00:25:18,320
Speaker 1: Oh yes, that's to well. No, for one specific reason,

471
00:25:18,600 --> 00:25:21,159
Speaker 1: did you watch any animation, any cartoon. It wasn't even

472
00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:23,160
Speaker 1: animation to us. So it was just cartoons growing up.

473
00:25:23,520 --> 00:25:28,720
Speaker 1: I had never well, there wasn't a Batman cartoon. There

474
00:25:28,760 --> 00:25:38,080
Speaker 1: was Batman comics though. Comics, yea, I watched the Jetsons,

475
00:25:38,119 --> 00:25:40,240
Speaker 1: I mean all the stuff from the sixties. Sure, that

476
00:25:40,359 --> 00:25:42,160
Speaker 1: was what I want. But were you a cartoon fan.

477
00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:45,840
Speaker 1: We were allowed a certain amount of TV. It was

478
00:25:45,880 --> 00:25:48,400
Speaker 1: a pretty strict house. But um, but yeah, I watched

479
00:25:48,440 --> 00:25:50,800
Speaker 1: the flint Stones and the Jetsons and but I had

480
00:25:50,840 --> 00:25:54,480
Speaker 1: no exposure to comic books. We didn't have comic books.

481
00:25:55,359 --> 00:25:58,879
Speaker 1: When when I went into audition for for Batman, Bruce

482
00:25:58,920 --> 00:26:02,199
Speaker 1: Tim said, what's your knowledge of Batman? And I said, well,

483
00:26:02,200 --> 00:26:05,400
Speaker 1: I know the Adam West Show. And he said, no, no, no,

484
00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:07,679
Speaker 1: that's not what we're doing. He said, we love Adam,

485
00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:09,399
Speaker 1: but that's not what we're doing. He said, didn't you

486
00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:12,240
Speaker 1: every comic books when you're a kid, the Batman's I said, well, no,

487
00:26:12,320 --> 00:26:14,159
Speaker 1: I didn't. We didn't have comic books. He said, what

488
00:26:14,200 --> 00:26:19,280
Speaker 1: kind of childhood did you have? Oh man, that too.

489
00:26:19,600 --> 00:26:21,639
Speaker 1: So you can hear what I'm saying. You can you

490
00:26:21,640 --> 00:26:24,359
Speaker 1: can hear. And so he is the one who introduced me.

491
00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:27,000
Speaker 1: He said, well, it's you know, his parents were murdered

492
00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:29,439
Speaker 1: in front of him as a child, and in Crime Alley,

493
00:26:29,520 --> 00:26:32,159
Speaker 1: he's spent his life avenging their deaths. He's become this

494
00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:35,000
Speaker 1: dual personality. He's a public face and a private face,

495
00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:39,280
Speaker 1: and he's, uh, you know, he's he's living too avenged

496
00:26:39,359 --> 00:26:41,800
Speaker 1: and to to bring justice to the world. And I said, well,

497
00:26:41,840 --> 00:26:45,399
Speaker 1: you're telling your kind of telling the Hamlet story again,

498
00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:48,720
Speaker 1: it's very similar. And he said, well, no one's made

499
00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:51,720
Speaker 1: that analogy. So I said, well, let me just use

500
00:26:51,720 --> 00:26:54,760
Speaker 1: my imagination, and so I just put myself in that

501
00:26:54,840 --> 00:26:58,120
Speaker 1: scene in Crimes in Crime Alley. Had you already been

502
00:26:58,160 --> 00:27:02,159
Speaker 1: in the voiceover world or the animation? Okay, this is

503
00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:03,919
Speaker 1: the first edition I ever went in on for a

504
00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:09,160
Speaker 1: voice over. And you were a little reluctant. Were you reluctant? Well,

505
00:27:09,240 --> 00:27:17,919
Speaker 1: I I rectant. Well, because actors, you know what it's like.

506
00:27:17,960 --> 00:27:20,880
Speaker 1: You go on twenty auditions and you don't get them,

507
00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:23,399
Speaker 1: so you could become kind of casual about them. You

508
00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:26,080
Speaker 1: think I really want to go to this one today? Yeah, yeah, yeah,

509
00:27:26,080 --> 00:27:27,520
Speaker 1: I don't really want to go to this Well. Also,

510
00:27:27,560 --> 00:27:29,280
Speaker 1: I'm going to speak to the fact that I had

511
00:27:29,280 --> 00:27:31,600
Speaker 1: done a lot of indie I had done like this

512
00:27:31,680 --> 00:27:35,600
Speaker 1: really high art Broadway show and we were paid off

513
00:27:35,880 --> 00:27:38,199
Speaker 1: to go like to my my mom and I went

514
00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:40,840
Speaker 1: to pilot season with the money because we closed early, right,

515
00:27:41,400 --> 00:27:44,240
Speaker 1: and I ended up working getting a Disney job, and

516
00:27:44,280 --> 00:27:46,080
Speaker 1: that was it. I just work work, work for Disney

517
00:27:46,200 --> 00:27:50,040
Speaker 1: for my whole teen years. But prior to that, I didn't.

518
00:27:50,080 --> 00:27:52,120
Speaker 1: I did a Woody Allen movie. I did a lot

519
00:27:52,119 --> 00:27:56,080
Speaker 1: of more like indie New York stuff. And so actually

520
00:27:56,160 --> 00:27:58,440
Speaker 1: I'm going to mention her name, but because she knows,

521
00:27:58,480 --> 00:28:01,159
Speaker 1: it's okay now. But it's just a chek who is

522
00:28:01,160 --> 00:28:03,720
Speaker 1: an amazing voice actress. And she was a good friend

523
00:28:03,760 --> 00:28:06,040
Speaker 1: of mine and is still and I love her so much.

524
00:28:06,040 --> 00:28:07,960
Speaker 1: And she was like, yere, you want to work for Disney.

525
00:28:08,359 --> 00:28:09,960
Speaker 1: And I was like, I was like, yeah, why not?

526
00:28:10,119 --> 00:28:16,960
Speaker 1: She said, okay, you know, and I was that's my guest, Okay,

527
00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:20,080
Speaker 1: it's okay, it's I haven't okay to chic On on

528
00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:23,600
Speaker 1: a good day. But yeah, I remember having to make

529
00:28:23,640 --> 00:28:27,240
Speaker 1: that choice and that leap into the unknown of something

530
00:28:27,280 --> 00:28:29,399
Speaker 1: that was sort of wildly different than the training and

531
00:28:29,480 --> 00:28:32,159
Speaker 1: experience that I had, you know, on the East Coast

532
00:28:32,200 --> 00:28:34,000
Speaker 1: and the whole thing. Yeah, I was totally going to

533
00:28:34,040 --> 00:28:35,719
Speaker 1: blow it off because I thought, there's no way this

534
00:28:35,760 --> 00:28:37,879
Speaker 1: is going to happen. Why am I bothering to go

535
00:28:38,280 --> 00:28:44,040
Speaker 1: this ninety one? It was nine okay, because we're an

536
00:28:44,080 --> 00:28:47,160
Speaker 1: into production. I was going to blow it off because

537
00:28:47,160 --> 00:28:48,480
Speaker 1: I thought, you know, this is this is this is

538
00:28:48,480 --> 00:28:50,840
Speaker 1: gonna be a complete waste of time. Put my energy

539
00:28:50,920 --> 00:28:53,800
Speaker 1: into preparing the audition for tomorrow, that is for a

540
00:28:53,840 --> 00:28:56,560
Speaker 1: pilot or something, you know what I mean? Yeah, sure,

541
00:28:56,920 --> 00:29:00,480
Speaker 1: I think else, you know, I'll just go what's the

542
00:29:00,520 --> 00:29:02,360
Speaker 1: worst that can happen. I can make a fool of myself,

543
00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:06,600
Speaker 1: big deal. So it was a totally random audition that

544
00:29:06,680 --> 00:29:08,440
Speaker 1: I did not think was going to lead to anything.

545
00:29:08,600 --> 00:29:11,240
Speaker 1: But then as I started putting my imagination into the

546
00:29:11,320 --> 00:29:14,440
Speaker 1: character in the booth and putting myself into that that

547
00:29:14,840 --> 00:29:17,320
Speaker 1: that boy in that alley and what would happen to

548
00:29:17,400 --> 00:29:20,920
Speaker 1: him and how he would compensate in life, and then

549
00:29:20,960 --> 00:29:23,600
Speaker 1: I just my voice went to this place and this

550
00:29:24,480 --> 00:29:28,720
Speaker 1: I started using this sound that I had never used before.

551
00:29:29,080 --> 00:29:32,040
Speaker 1: It just came out, and they hired me on the spot.

552
00:29:32,080 --> 00:29:36,360
Speaker 1: That's exactly what we want. Of course, of course that's

553
00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:40,959
Speaker 1: what I mean. But it was totally improvised on the spot. No, no, yeah, no,

554
00:29:41,040 --> 00:29:43,000
Speaker 1: I mean to the point where I remember my dad.

555
00:29:43,360 --> 00:29:45,680
Speaker 1: We were doing Beyond at the time, and something had

556
00:29:45,680 --> 00:29:47,440
Speaker 1: happened where we were in New York. My father and

557
00:29:47,480 --> 00:29:49,000
Speaker 1: I and you were in New York at the time,

558
00:29:49,560 --> 00:29:51,920
Speaker 1: and we were waiting in the room to record something,

559
00:29:51,960 --> 00:29:53,760
Speaker 1: and you were walking down the hallway and you said

560
00:29:53,800 --> 00:29:56,760
Speaker 1: hello to somebody and you said in your voice, like, hey, Jack,

561
00:29:56,800 --> 00:29:59,440
Speaker 1: how you doing? And my dad went, who is that?

562
00:30:00,560 --> 00:30:02,680
Speaker 1: Because that voice? You have that voice, and it was

563
00:30:02,720 --> 00:30:07,640
Speaker 1: like that, that's Kevin, that's Kevin. So again we've talked

564
00:30:07,640 --> 00:30:12,040
Speaker 1: about this first audition ever for voiceover is Batman. It

565
00:30:12,120 --> 00:30:14,959
Speaker 1: is completely Shakespearean when you actually think about the Batman

566
00:30:15,080 --> 00:30:19,160
Speaker 1: character is totally Shakespearean characters. He has no superpowers, he

567
00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:22,320
Speaker 1: can't fly, he can't see through walls. He's a tragic hero.

568
00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:27,080
Speaker 1: He is Arresties, he is Achilles, he is Edgar in lear.

569
00:30:27,160 --> 00:30:28,880
Speaker 1: I mean, he's so many of the roles that I

570
00:30:28,880 --> 00:30:31,840
Speaker 1: had played, and so I just approached it that way.

571
00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:35,280
Speaker 1: So now I rewatched on literally on Sunday on the

572
00:30:35,280 --> 00:30:38,120
Speaker 1: plane home. I was just in Connecticut and I'm flying home.

573
00:30:38,200 --> 00:30:42,680
Speaker 1: It was negative eight thousand degrees Um. Batman the animated

574
00:30:42,720 --> 00:30:47,239
Speaker 1: series was just is now on all the day, and

575
00:30:47,280 --> 00:30:49,640
Speaker 1: I was like, I'm starting over, and I went right

576
00:30:49,680 --> 00:30:53,760
Speaker 1: to the pilot and the first line of the first

577
00:30:53,840 --> 00:30:59,120
Speaker 1: episode of the first Batman series is what was that?

578
00:31:00,640 --> 00:31:04,960
Speaker 1: And wasn't that you two helicopter? That was was the

579
00:31:04,960 --> 00:31:06,920
Speaker 1: coolest thing. That was the coolest thing in the world.

580
00:31:07,320 --> 00:31:12,040
Speaker 1: So h I'm watching. And obviously the animation has changed

581
00:31:12,160 --> 00:31:17,000
Speaker 1: from that first episode quite a bit, the stories instantly

582
00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:21,959
Speaker 1: compelling and now getting back into the world of v O. Batman.

583
00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:25,680
Speaker 1: The animated series changed the whole ballgame for animation all

584
00:31:25,720 --> 00:31:28,840
Speaker 1: the way around, from the way they recorded it to

585
00:31:29,040 --> 00:31:32,400
Speaker 1: the way they animated it, to the way they produced it,

586
00:31:32,480 --> 00:31:34,520
Speaker 1: to the way it was it was promoted, to the

587
00:31:34,520 --> 00:31:39,240
Speaker 1: way it was scored full symphony score. It was. They

588
00:31:39,400 --> 00:31:43,720
Speaker 1: threw money at that show, which still show. It still shows.

589
00:31:43,760 --> 00:31:47,840
Speaker 1: It's why it still looks so rich and so fresh

590
00:31:47,880 --> 00:31:50,600
Speaker 1: and compelling, and young people still get turned onto it.

591
00:31:50,880 --> 00:31:52,840
Speaker 1: I get approached the comic cons all the time by people,

592

605
00:32:33,560 --> 00:32:38,360
Speaker 1: sounds so weird. Have you seen the title of the ship?

606
00:32:40,320 --> 00:32:42,520
Speaker 1: You're in a safe space? Come on, now we have

607
00:32:42,880 --> 00:32:45,320
Speaker 1: I actually grew up in Long Island. We moved to

608
00:32:45,320 --> 00:32:48,000
Speaker 1: Westport when I was about eleven, and when I was

609
00:32:48,120 --> 00:32:51,400
Speaker 1: it was a very working class community and there were

610
00:32:51,680 --> 00:32:56,240
Speaker 1: a couple of trees in the backyard dogwood trees, and

611
00:32:56,720 --> 00:33:00,840
Speaker 1: when the leaves fell, I would get very, very very upset,

612
00:33:02,160 --> 00:33:05,080
Speaker 1: and my mother caught me outside on a chair with

613
00:33:05,240 --> 00:33:09,400
Speaker 1: tape putting the leaves back on the tree. That was

614
00:33:09,440 --> 00:33:11,640
Speaker 1: the kind of affection that I had to these trees.

615
00:33:12,320 --> 00:33:15,160
Speaker 1: I was trying to heal them as I couldn't hear

616
00:33:15,160 --> 00:33:18,960
Speaker 1: how what's going on? And then she watched me and

617
00:33:19,040 --> 00:33:23,680
Speaker 1: she saw me starting to talk and then stop and listen.

618
00:33:25,360 --> 00:33:27,320
Speaker 1: And I was having a conversation with the tree with

619
00:33:27,400 --> 00:33:33,360
Speaker 1: the trees. That's amazing. So my first imaginary friends were

620
00:33:33,080 --> 00:33:35,440
Speaker 1: the two trees in the backyard. Do you remember what

621
00:33:35,440 --> 00:33:39,560
Speaker 1: the conversation. I don't know what their names were, or

622
00:33:39,960 --> 00:33:42,320
Speaker 1: you know, I don't know the personas that I put

623
00:33:42,360 --> 00:33:44,920
Speaker 1: into them. She said I would go out and have dialogue.

624
00:33:44,920 --> 00:33:47,200
Speaker 1: She said she'd watch me, and she thought, I hope

625
00:33:47,200 --> 00:33:50,760
Speaker 1: there's nothing wrong with this child. I think that's amazing.

626
00:33:50,840 --> 00:33:53,200
Speaker 1: So you gave boys, you voiced, gave voices to the

627
00:33:53,200 --> 00:33:57,000
Speaker 1: earth essentially, but it was the loss of the leaves

628
00:33:57,000 --> 00:34:00,680
Speaker 1: that that moved me emotionally to them. Then I developed

629
00:34:00,680 --> 00:34:04,800
Speaker 1: this relationship with them. Those are my first voices. That's beautiful.

630
00:34:05,560 --> 00:34:08,480
Speaker 1: Do you still love trees? Oh? I'm a real outdoor person.

631
00:34:08,600 --> 00:34:14,520
Speaker 1: You are being outside. So I was trying to think

632
00:34:14,840 --> 00:34:17,000
Speaker 1: you might have thought of this already, because I can't

633
00:34:17,040 --> 00:34:21,520
Speaker 1: of literally other than maybe a talk show host, any

634
00:34:21,520 --> 00:34:25,880
Speaker 1: other actor in history who has played a role as

635
00:34:25,920 --> 00:34:29,600
Speaker 1: long as you have. And I can't think of anyone.

636
00:34:30,480 --> 00:34:36,160
Speaker 1: You've been Batman now in many iterations for thirty years?

637
00:34:36,680 --> 00:34:43,520
Speaker 1: Have have the Simpsons been on longer? Maybe? Maybe? Okay,

638
00:34:43,600 --> 00:34:46,440
Speaker 1: so then they might have voice actors, they might have

639
00:34:46,560 --> 00:34:49,520
Speaker 1: may be essentially but you right, it's up there. But

640
00:34:49,719 --> 00:34:54,440
Speaker 1: you'd be one of a handful of actors in history

641
00:34:54,560 --> 00:34:56,560
Speaker 1: that have played a single character for as long as

642
00:34:56,560 --> 00:34:59,120
Speaker 1: you have. And what a character to play, you think,

643
00:35:00,440 --> 00:35:04,319
Speaker 1: I mean, so rich, there's so much always defined there.

644
00:35:05,400 --> 00:35:08,440
Speaker 1: You never get tired of playing him. Oh that's wonderful

645
00:35:08,480 --> 00:35:13,319
Speaker 1: to hear. Oh you don't. It's just he's so damaged. Yeah,

646
00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:17,520
Speaker 1: and that's what it compels people to him, because we're

647
00:35:17,560 --> 00:35:22,600
Speaker 1: all damaged, and people read that into Batman. They relate

648
00:35:22,719 --> 00:35:27,600
Speaker 1: that to Batman. It's his humanity, it's his flaws. That's

649
00:35:27,640 --> 00:35:30,160
Speaker 1: what attracts people. They really are. People think of the

650
00:35:30,280 --> 00:35:33,239
Speaker 1: heroic and the bigger I am, and they think of

651
00:35:33,280 --> 00:35:35,839
Speaker 1: that as Batman. But it's really the flaws in him,

652
00:35:35,920 --> 00:35:38,919
Speaker 1: I think that really draw people in. It's also what's

653
00:35:38,920 --> 00:35:42,319
Speaker 1: recurring in any iteration of Batman, even live action that

654
00:35:42,360 --> 00:35:44,680
Speaker 1: we're seeing, like with the Robert Pattinson one that's recently

655
00:35:44,719 --> 00:35:47,600
Speaker 1: coming in, Like everyone's their own Batman, but they're all

656
00:35:47,719 --> 00:35:51,919
Speaker 1: damaged and that's what anchors their performance. But then there's

657
00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:54,279
Speaker 1: there's also something very interesting. I remember Bruce tim saying

658
00:35:54,320 --> 00:35:57,719
Speaker 1: something to me that was we were talking about just

659
00:35:57,840 --> 00:35:59,759
Speaker 1: the character Batman in general, and the thing that he

660
00:35:59,800 --> 00:36:01,520
Speaker 1: told me that it was very interesting. As you said,

661
00:36:01,520 --> 00:36:04,400
Speaker 1: bat there always needs to be a Batman for everyone.

662
00:36:05,200 --> 00:36:09,680
Speaker 1: So he said, when the movies got very dark, the cartoons,

663
00:36:09,719 --> 00:36:11,680
Speaker 1: the animated series got very light, so it was like

664
00:36:11,760 --> 00:36:13,640
Speaker 1: Braven the Bold came out and you saw it was

665
00:36:13,680 --> 00:36:15,640
Speaker 1: more of a comedy side of Batman because the film's

666
00:36:15,640 --> 00:36:17,720
Speaker 1: got very dark. And then he said, when the film's

667
00:36:17,719 --> 00:36:20,439
Speaker 1: got very like like like the Schwarzenegger ones, we were

668
00:36:20,440 --> 00:36:23,240
Speaker 1: doing Beyond and Batman the animated series. So he said,

669
00:36:23,520 --> 00:36:26,359
Speaker 1: Batman always needs to exist for everybody, so a five

670
00:36:26,440 --> 00:36:29,040
Speaker 1: year old can find their Batman and a year old

671
00:36:29,040 --> 00:36:31,400
Speaker 1: can find their Batman. And I thought there was something

672
00:36:31,520 --> 00:36:34,480
Speaker 1: very interesting about that as well, where it's just that

673
00:36:34,600 --> 00:36:38,239
Speaker 1: character that has so many levels where we both know

674
00:36:38,440 --> 00:36:41,319
Speaker 1: Dietrich bad very well, who came and sat down in

675
00:36:41,320 --> 00:36:43,560
Speaker 1: front of the microphone and did it completely different, I mean,

676
00:36:44,040 --> 00:36:46,439
Speaker 1: such a different Batman than than you you ever did.

677
00:36:46,960 --> 00:36:50,239
Speaker 1: And one wasn't better or worse. There were just different,

678
00:36:50,400 --> 00:36:53,799
Speaker 1: just different Batman Adam West, who was you know, God

679
00:36:53,880 --> 00:36:56,600
Speaker 1: rest him? We were I know you knew Adam West

680
00:36:56,640 --> 00:37:00,279
Speaker 1: pretty well, right, Yeah, it was a funny scene. Lived

681
00:37:00,280 --> 00:37:04,000
Speaker 1: in Utah and I had been at some comic con

682
00:37:04,040 --> 00:37:07,440
Speaker 1: and I was changing planes at Salt Lake City Airport

683
00:37:07,840 --> 00:37:10,360
Speaker 1: and Adam was waiting for a plane. That's all like

684
00:37:10,480 --> 00:37:12,800
Speaker 1: they airport. We saw each other and I was like Adam,

685
00:37:12,800 --> 00:37:14,960
Speaker 1: and he went Kevin. So we sat down and we're

686
00:37:14,960 --> 00:37:18,480
Speaker 1: talking to each other and people started noticing that's Batman

687
00:37:18,560 --> 00:37:23,520
Speaker 1: and Batman. So all the camera phones came out and

688
00:37:23,560 --> 00:37:26,839
Speaker 1: people started taking pictures. There was a Batman convention at

689
00:37:26,840 --> 00:37:29,319
Speaker 1: Salt Lake Airport. But I mean that because again, two

690
00:37:29,440 --> 00:37:36,920
Speaker 1: completely different versions, wildly unbelievable, so strange. Yeah, he's a

691
00:37:36,920 --> 00:37:39,600
Speaker 1: really nice, really nice man. He wasn't very nice. So

692
00:37:39,640 --> 00:37:43,560
Speaker 1: then you don't ever feel territorial over Batman as a whole,

693
00:37:43,680 --> 00:37:46,879
Speaker 1: do you know? Not at all? It's a you don't

694
00:37:46,880 --> 00:37:49,040
Speaker 1: get to own the character. You get to sort of

695
00:37:49,080 --> 00:37:51,759
Speaker 1: rent him for a while, You get to inhabit him

696
00:37:51,760 --> 00:37:55,160
Speaker 1: for a while, um, and then someone else comes. You know,

697
00:37:55,200 --> 00:37:57,879
Speaker 1: you don't have been pretty close to owning the camera,

698
00:38:00,040 --> 00:38:01,640
Speaker 1: love doing it, I love well yeah, but I mean

699
00:38:01,680 --> 00:38:04,400
Speaker 1: and I have a wonderful relationship with the audience and

700
00:38:04,440 --> 00:38:06,480
Speaker 1: the fans through the character. But all of us other

701
00:38:06,520 --> 00:38:09,680
Speaker 1: Batman are pretty much playing for a second. I think

702
00:38:09,680 --> 00:38:11,719
Speaker 1: we all know that. Oh my gosh, that takes such

703
00:38:11,880 --> 00:38:14,160
Speaker 1: like but it's true. I mean, but it's true. It's

704
00:38:14,200 --> 00:38:16,479
Speaker 1: there's there's times where you just go, I mean again.

705
00:38:16,480 --> 00:38:19,839
Speaker 1: People always ask me, all right, Michael Keaton, Christian Bale,

706
00:38:19,840 --> 00:38:22,279
Speaker 1: who's your Batman? And I always Kevin Conroy's Batman. Like

707
00:38:22,400 --> 00:38:25,160
Speaker 1: you know, anybody who's in conect who knows anything about

708
00:38:25,200 --> 00:38:28,279
Speaker 1: animation or any or this world or is truly a

709
00:38:28,320 --> 00:38:30,200
Speaker 1: Batman fan. This is how I look at it, because

710
00:38:30,200 --> 00:38:31,560
Speaker 1: you get a lot of people that are Batman fan

711
00:38:31,800 --> 00:38:34,000
Speaker 1: fans when it comes to like the films, like but

712
00:38:34,120 --> 00:38:36,440
Speaker 1: truly and all around Batman fan when you're reading the

713
00:38:36,440 --> 00:38:38,759
Speaker 1: comic book, whose voices in your head? Kevin's voices in

714
00:38:38,800 --> 00:38:41,359
Speaker 1: your head? And I think, don't you hear that from

715
00:38:41,360 --> 00:38:43,440
Speaker 1: most of the fans that say there, when I read anything,

716
00:38:43,440 --> 00:38:45,560
Speaker 1: when I do anything, it's your voice. Well, I hear

717
00:38:45,600 --> 00:38:47,560
Speaker 1: that from the fans because they're talking to me and

718
00:38:47,560 --> 00:38:49,000
Speaker 1: They're not going to come to me and say, oh

719
00:38:49,160 --> 00:38:51,440
Speaker 1: I hear you know you to me and say I

720
00:38:51,480 --> 00:38:55,160
Speaker 1: hear Kevin Conroy, You're pretty good. But I hear Kevin Connor.

721
00:38:55,239 --> 00:38:57,160
Speaker 1: Maybe they know how much you love him. This is

722
00:38:57,200 --> 00:38:59,279
Speaker 1: like I think it's I mean, of course, what we've

723
00:38:59,320 --> 00:39:01,839
Speaker 1: talked about that any times to where the you know,

724
00:39:01,920 --> 00:39:05,680
Speaker 1: the Bruce and Terry relationship was was kind of similar

725
00:39:05,719 --> 00:39:09,880
Speaker 1: to yours and mind it was to actually doing the show. Um,

726
00:39:09,920 --> 00:39:11,879
Speaker 1: but it was so funny you mentioned the Simpsons. Okay,

727
00:39:11,880 --> 00:39:13,840
Speaker 1: so I couldn't think of another actor that has played

728
00:39:13,880 --> 00:39:21,120
Speaker 1: a single role owned a role for thirty years. Yeah, unusual, Yeah, epic,

729
00:39:21,200 --> 00:39:24,440
Speaker 1: I think, Yeah, it's epic. So we are going to

730
00:39:24,520 --> 00:39:26,960
Speaker 1: get into and then the Games came along. Well okay,

731
00:39:27,040 --> 00:39:29,640
Speaker 1: so that's what actually games, we were just going to

732
00:39:29,760 --> 00:39:34,960
Speaker 1: jumpe just amazing. Now, how is that difference in recording?

733
00:39:35,440 --> 00:39:39,000
Speaker 1: That's what I want to know. How please, It's like

734
00:39:39,360 --> 00:39:42,880
Speaker 1: it's like root Canal. It is so different because you

735
00:39:42,920 --> 00:39:45,280
Speaker 1: know that when you do a recording in the studio

736
00:39:45,320 --> 00:39:48,480
Speaker 1: with the other actors, especially for Warner Brothers, everybody's there

737
00:39:48,520 --> 00:39:50,680
Speaker 1: together and it's like doing a radio play. Yeah, you're

738
00:39:50,719 --> 00:39:53,560
Speaker 1: all interacting you. You have the other actor feeding you.

739
00:39:53,560 --> 00:39:56,680
Speaker 1: You have Mark Hamill feeding you a line. I mean,

740
00:39:56,760 --> 00:39:59,719
Speaker 1: how can you not feed well in response? You know

741
00:39:59,760 --> 00:40:01,560
Speaker 1: what I mean? He just brings it out of you.

742
00:40:02,080 --> 00:40:05,200
Speaker 1: But when you go into do games, everything's got to

743
00:40:05,280 --> 00:40:07,920
Speaker 1: be on its own track because of the way the

744
00:40:07,960 --> 00:40:10,520
Speaker 1: games are played, everything is on their own algorithm, you know.

745
00:40:11,040 --> 00:40:14,319
Speaker 1: So they can't do people together, so everything is isolated.

746
00:40:14,840 --> 00:40:18,239
Speaker 1: So you're in a room alone, a soundproof room, and

747
00:40:18,320 --> 00:40:23,239
Speaker 1: you're creating the situation of the character, the character, the

748
00:40:23,480 --> 00:40:26,000
Speaker 1: what what does he want? What is he after? What's

749
00:40:26,080 --> 00:40:28,480
Speaker 1: just happened? Where are you going? And then keeping the

750
00:40:28,560 --> 00:40:31,960
Speaker 1: voice alive, line by line by line by line by line,

751
00:40:31,960 --> 00:40:33,560
Speaker 1: and they do them all at one line at a time,

752
00:40:34,200 --> 00:40:38,160
Speaker 1: so it's totally different. Hundreds of cues, thousands of cues,

753
00:40:38,280 --> 00:40:45,120
Speaker 1: thirty seven thousand lines come on in Arkham Night, the

754
00:40:45,200 --> 00:40:49,080
Speaker 1: third of the Arkham series, thirty seven thousand lines, because

755
00:40:49,120 --> 00:40:54,239
Speaker 1: depending on how the game's play, take thousands of different things.

756
00:40:54,320 --> 00:41:01,799
Speaker 1: There two years, four hours at a time alone in

757
00:41:01,840 --> 00:41:03,880
Speaker 1: a booth. You come out and you're just sweating, and

758
00:41:03,880 --> 00:41:05,520
Speaker 1: then they give you an hour for lunch, and then

759
00:41:05,560 --> 00:41:08,160
Speaker 1: you go in four hours more and you're just keeping

760
00:41:08,760 --> 00:41:11,400
Speaker 1: just keeping the drama alive in your head and keeping

761
00:41:11,440 --> 00:41:14,000
Speaker 1: it straight. What's happened to him? Now? Where is he going?

762
00:41:14,239 --> 00:41:15,920
Speaker 1: Did he just get in a fight? Is he? You know?

763
00:41:16,520 --> 00:41:19,640
Speaker 1: All that stuff you're keeping alive in your own head,

764
00:41:20,800 --> 00:41:23,239
Speaker 1: and it's it's exhausting. By the end of the day,

765
00:41:23,280 --> 00:41:26,759
Speaker 1: you're just depleted. You're depleted and you're exhausted. And then

766
00:41:26,760 --> 00:41:28,640
Speaker 1: they do that for about a week and then you

767
00:41:28,680 --> 00:41:30,800
Speaker 1: get a few weeks off while they're writing more stuff

768
00:41:30,800 --> 00:41:32,839
Speaker 1: than they bring you in for another week. What's really

769
00:41:32,880 --> 00:41:34,920
Speaker 1: tough work? People, I think assume that just because you're

770
00:41:34,960 --> 00:41:37,120
Speaker 1: talking into a microphone that it's not a hard work. Yeah,

771
00:41:37,160 --> 00:41:38,759
Speaker 1: you always hear that. Well, you're a voice over, you

772
00:41:38,800 --> 00:41:41,439
Speaker 1: can come in your pajamas. It's like, yeah, that's somebody

773
00:41:41,440 --> 00:41:45,160
Speaker 1: who's never actually done the work. The building games is

774
00:41:45,920 --> 00:41:48,400
Speaker 1: really hard work? Is there? When you prefer act from

775
00:41:48,400 --> 00:41:52,080
Speaker 1: an acting standpoint? Arkham Knight, the third of the Arkham trilogy,

776
00:41:52,120 --> 00:41:54,080
Speaker 1: I think is that one with the thirty seven thousand

777
00:41:54,760 --> 00:41:57,239
Speaker 1: because the end of it, I don't want to I'm

778
00:41:57,239 --> 00:41:59,799
Speaker 1: not going to give away share. But Batman goes through

779
00:41:59,840 --> 00:42:05,400
Speaker 1: this this transition, this this this Catharsis that is was

780
00:42:05,480 --> 00:42:08,320
Speaker 1: so challenging as an actor to do. You know, you

781
00:42:08,440 --> 00:42:11,520
Speaker 1: like to be challenged by things like that, and I

782
00:42:11,600 --> 00:42:13,600
Speaker 1: was so proud of the way it it came out.

783
00:42:13,760 --> 00:42:17,040
Speaker 1: I was really really happy with that one. So I

784
00:42:17,040 --> 00:42:18,719
Speaker 1: don't think I've ever asked you this and you can't

785
00:42:18,719 --> 00:42:20,799
Speaker 1: say me, because it's obviously the answer you would give,

786
00:42:20,920 --> 00:42:24,359
Speaker 1: being that it's our podcast and you can't say you.

787
00:42:25,160 --> 00:42:31,479
Speaker 1: Who's your favorite Batman? Oh man, I'm not sure if ever,

788
00:42:31,640 --> 00:42:34,759
Speaker 1: I can't say you can't. You can't say you, and

789
00:42:34,800 --> 00:42:44,960
Speaker 1: you can't you can't see me either? Course would who

790
00:42:45,000 --> 00:42:48,760
Speaker 1: would I? But I I thought it was really crazy

791
00:42:48,800 --> 00:42:51,280
Speaker 1: for Warner Brothers not to give the franchise to one person,

792
00:42:51,480 --> 00:42:55,280
Speaker 1: the on camera franchise, because traditionally that's what always happened.

793
00:42:55,800 --> 00:42:58,000
Speaker 1: You know, you have one person play a character, do

794
00:42:58,280 --> 00:43:00,359
Speaker 1: you know, like a James Bond, kind of like James

795
00:43:00,440 --> 00:43:04,719
Speaker 1: Bonner or Peter Sellers, you know, Clusseau, and there'll be

796
00:43:04,800 --> 00:43:07,480
Speaker 1: certain you know, the character would just do that franchise.

797
00:43:08,080 --> 00:43:10,720
Speaker 1: So when Michael Keaton did the first of the Batman movies,

798
00:43:10,880 --> 00:43:14,480
Speaker 1: I thought, well, he's nailed it, He's got it, and

799
00:43:14,719 --> 00:43:17,200
Speaker 1: he's going to get the whole franchise because I love

800
00:43:17,320 --> 00:43:21,520
Speaker 1: him as an actor. He's a brilliant, such an amazing Yeah,

801
00:43:21,560 --> 00:43:23,640
Speaker 1: he's one of my favorites ever really, and so I

802
00:43:23,760 --> 00:43:27,080
Speaker 1: think it's impossible to pick one because they're all so different.

803
00:43:28,080 --> 00:43:31,879
Speaker 1: When I started seeing the different characters, I mean, Ben

804
00:43:32,000 --> 00:43:37,239
Speaker 1: Affleck is fantastic. He's fantastic and good. It was the

805
00:43:37,280 --> 00:43:40,719
Speaker 1: best part of Batman Versus Superman. Christian Bale is a

806
00:43:40,760 --> 00:43:44,439
Speaker 1: little sketchy with his Batman voice, but as Bruce Wayne great,

807
00:43:44,480 --> 00:43:49,920
Speaker 1: Bruce Wayne phenomenal, Bruayne phenomenal. So everybody brings something different

808
00:43:50,040 --> 00:43:52,800
Speaker 1: than it's I realized after a while why they did that.

809
00:43:52,920 --> 00:43:55,560
Speaker 1: It makes it makes it so interesting to see what

810
00:43:55,680 --> 00:43:59,960
Speaker 1: different actors bring. But to be honest, Michael Keaton, I

811
00:44:00,040 --> 00:44:05,000
Speaker 1: thing I had to pick one down would now? Don't

812
00:44:05,040 --> 00:44:09,520
Speaker 1: you think that Batman the animated series is partially responsible

813
00:44:09,680 --> 00:44:13,080
Speaker 1: for actors realizing that Batman and Bruce Wayne are two

814
00:44:13,120 --> 00:44:16,560
Speaker 1: different characters. Well certainly that they should have two different

815
00:44:16,719 --> 00:44:20,080
Speaker 1: voices and two different personas. That hadn't been done before.

816
00:44:20,560 --> 00:44:22,919
Speaker 1: And I asked Bruce if I could do that, because

817
00:44:22,960 --> 00:44:25,440
Speaker 1: I said, wait a minute, because I was so new

818
00:44:25,480 --> 00:44:28,399
Speaker 1: to all this I said, he's he's the richest man

819
00:44:28,520 --> 00:44:32,239
Speaker 1: in Gotham. He's the most desirable bachelor. He owns half

820
00:44:32,320 --> 00:44:34,840
Speaker 1: the city and he puts on a mask and no

821
00:44:34,880 --> 00:44:38,840
Speaker 1: one knows it's him. I said, seriously, that's that's stretching credulity.

822
00:44:39,080 --> 00:44:42,040
Speaker 1: That's to a ridiculous point. I said, can I, you know,

823
00:44:43,320 --> 00:44:45,880
Speaker 1: change the voice up a little bit, And so we

824
00:44:45,960 --> 00:44:50,920
Speaker 1: decided my my image was of a playboy sophisticated, almost

825
00:44:50,960 --> 00:44:54,000
Speaker 1: a David Niven kind of character. That's what I was visualizing.

826
00:44:54,400 --> 00:44:56,600
Speaker 1: And it just was a lighter register of my own voice.

827
00:44:57,239 --> 00:44:59,160
Speaker 1: It was just slightly lighter and a little more. I

828
00:44:59,560 --> 00:45:02,400
Speaker 1: used a lot of irony, a lot of humor. I

829
00:45:02,520 --> 00:45:04,800
Speaker 1: went a lot for the humor, but you definitely it

830
00:45:05,000 --> 00:45:07,759
Speaker 1: was it was Batman and Bruce Wayne were two different people,

831
00:45:08,320 --> 00:45:09,839
Speaker 1: and that was never I don't think that had ever

832
00:45:09,920 --> 00:45:13,040
Speaker 1: really been done before, explored to that extent as it

833
00:45:13,120 --> 00:45:16,440
Speaker 1: had in Batman the Animals. They decided over time to

834
00:45:16,640 --> 00:45:20,319
Speaker 1: have me tone it down because when the artwork came back,

835
00:45:20,760 --> 00:45:23,520
Speaker 1: the show was so dark. It was all painted on black.

836
00:45:23,960 --> 00:45:25,360
Speaker 1: It was the first time the show had been painted

837
00:45:25,400 --> 00:45:29,479
Speaker 1: on a black so it was very dark, and that's

838
00:45:29,640 --> 00:45:32,719
Speaker 1: the music was so dramatic and the stories were so complicated.

839
00:45:32,800 --> 00:45:34,719
Speaker 1: They said, you know, when you go to that light,

840
00:45:35,880 --> 00:45:39,799
Speaker 1: ironic voice, it's it's a little too jarring. So they

841
00:45:39,840 --> 00:45:43,200
Speaker 1: had to tone it down. They liked the distinction, but

842
00:45:43,280 --> 00:45:46,960
Speaker 1: they just wanted it less less. So so actually I'm

843
00:45:47,040 --> 00:45:49,359
Speaker 1: back and re recorded the first few episodes. Really, there

844
00:45:49,440 --> 00:45:53,400
Speaker 1: is quite a harmony involved in the like you're saying this,

845
00:45:53,640 --> 00:45:57,400
Speaker 1: the music mixed with the actual animation to the voices.

846
00:45:57,440 --> 00:46:00,719
Speaker 1: It kind of is all synergistic. Really, like if the

847
00:46:00,800 --> 00:46:02,480
Speaker 1: characters that he and I were blessed to play, our

848
00:46:02,600 --> 00:46:05,520
Speaker 1: characters were Kim and Ron. We kind of massaged it

849
00:46:05,600 --> 00:46:08,360
Speaker 1: over the first season of Trying to Find so that

850
00:46:08,520 --> 00:46:10,680
Speaker 1: you know, when we you've mentioned that, like sometimes if

851
00:46:10,719 --> 00:46:12,200
Speaker 1: you watch some of your work, you're like, oh, I

852
00:46:12,280 --> 00:46:14,960
Speaker 1: didn't do that right, I'm taking I'm taking myself out

853
00:46:15,040 --> 00:46:18,120
Speaker 1: of that character. It's not blending well, like he can't

854
00:46:18,160 --> 00:46:20,640
Speaker 1: see himself in that character, and it's true, and it's

855
00:46:20,719 --> 00:46:23,480
Speaker 1: it's just it's one of those things where I don't

856
00:46:23,480 --> 00:46:27,600
Speaker 1: know I always thought about because the exact opposite thing

857
00:46:27,680 --> 00:46:29,520
Speaker 1: happened to me when I was doing Beyond, where they

858
00:46:30,000 --> 00:46:33,560
Speaker 1: pulled back my gravel, where Andrea would constantly say, you're

859
00:46:33,560 --> 00:46:36,880
Speaker 1: getting too gravelly into our should stay to piraty with

860
00:46:37,200 --> 00:46:40,320
Speaker 1: the with the Batman voice, because with Terry it was

861
00:46:40,719 --> 00:46:42,840
Speaker 1: as a seventeen year old kid when he went and

862
00:46:42,880 --> 00:46:46,480
Speaker 1: put on the cowl, going hey stop, no, nobody was

863
00:46:46,520 --> 00:46:48,920
Speaker 1: going to be afraid of him. So it was interesting

864
00:46:49,000 --> 00:46:51,799
Speaker 1: that we mirrored ourselves in that aspect as well, where

865
00:46:51,840 --> 00:46:53,960
Speaker 1: they pulled you back from the higher register and they

866
00:46:54,000 --> 00:46:56,279
Speaker 1: pulled me back from the lower register, which I thought

867
00:46:56,360 --> 00:46:59,160
Speaker 1: was was kind of fun. But again, I think anybody

868
00:46:59,200 --> 00:47:02,600
Speaker 1: who knows animation and or like's animation knows that Batman

869
00:47:02,640 --> 00:47:05,600
Speaker 1: the animated series changed the whole ballgame. Oh definitely. I

870
00:47:05,760 --> 00:47:07,879
Speaker 1: I lived through that too as a as a viewer,

871
00:47:08,040 --> 00:47:11,840
Speaker 1: so I completely came became It was no longer a cartoon,

872
00:47:12,239 --> 00:47:14,320
Speaker 1: it was an animated It was a movement and that

873
00:47:14,719 --> 00:47:18,319
Speaker 1: was huge. Yeah, that's really interesting. The actors they brought him,

874
00:47:18,520 --> 00:47:21,800
Speaker 1: everything about this show was extraordinary. I mean, going in

875
00:47:21,920 --> 00:47:24,759
Speaker 1: every week was like an acting lesson. The people I

876
00:47:24,840 --> 00:47:29,120
Speaker 1: got to work with, Mark Hamill, Roddy McDowell from Zimbilis Jr.

877
00:47:29,200 --> 00:47:32,600
Speaker 1: Stacy Keach, I saw Stacy keach Is Hamlet when I

878
00:47:32,719 --> 00:47:35,960
Speaker 1: was in high school. I mean, I had always admired

879
00:47:36,040 --> 00:47:40,320
Speaker 1: his work. And that's Andrea, and that's all these different actors,

880
00:47:40,360 --> 00:47:46,000
Speaker 1: and she went way outside the traditional pool of voice actors.

881
00:47:46,320 --> 00:47:48,480
Speaker 1: She brought them into. I was gonna say, what was

882
00:47:48,600 --> 00:47:51,600
Speaker 1: the traditional reach of actors then people off of certain

883
00:47:51,680 --> 00:47:54,880
Speaker 1: types of that's a good question. What was the voiceover actor? Well,

884
00:47:54,960 --> 00:47:57,120
Speaker 1: Andrea always referred to a lot of it as pukey.

885
00:47:57,239 --> 00:48:00,520
Speaker 1: Do you remember that with with like, well, there were

886
00:48:00,600 --> 00:48:04,560
Speaker 1: some it would be, but the acting itself, not necessarily

887
00:48:04,560 --> 00:48:10,040
Speaker 1: the act It was overly saccharin and overly cartoony. Was

888
00:48:10,120 --> 00:48:13,400
Speaker 1: the term, don't be cartoon? Yeah, because you know, like

889
00:48:13,440 --> 00:48:15,239
Speaker 1: when she would always say that when somebody would come

890
00:48:15,280 --> 00:48:19,120
Speaker 1: in and they it was always newscasters, a newscaster would

891
00:48:19,120 --> 00:48:21,440
Speaker 1: come in with it with something and they'd go, you know,

892
00:48:21,600 --> 00:48:23,880
Speaker 1: and this just in in Gotham and she go, no, no, no, no, no,

893
00:48:24,440 --> 00:48:26,800
Speaker 1: like you're a newscaster, say it just like you. And

894
00:48:26,840 --> 00:48:28,759
Speaker 1: I remember sitting there going like, oh, that's what she

895
00:48:28,840 --> 00:48:31,239
Speaker 1: means by pukey, Like, don't do it cartoon like it was?

896
00:48:31,680 --> 00:48:35,160
Speaker 1: And she was always had that doubt. Uki, that's so interesting,

897
00:48:35,239 --> 00:48:37,320
Speaker 1: and I think that it was real is. It was

898
00:48:37,360 --> 00:48:39,600
Speaker 1: the word I would use for Batman the animated series.

899
00:48:39,640 --> 00:48:43,160
Speaker 1: It was real. She brought an actors to acts. So

900
00:48:43,320 --> 00:48:47,759
Speaker 1: if there was any voice character that you would want

901
00:48:47,840 --> 00:48:57,800
Speaker 1: to do, I'm doing it again. Something else besides Batman

902
00:48:58,000 --> 00:49:05,399
Speaker 1: to do? Who would you do? Betty? Oh? Have his laugh?

903
00:49:05,480 --> 00:49:07,520
Speaker 1: I don't have his laugh? I think an episode I

904
00:49:07,640 --> 00:49:10,160
Speaker 1: have his sinister Yeah, yes, I could see that. I've

905
00:49:10,280 --> 00:49:13,920
Speaker 1: done actually a voice for a new animated show that

906
00:49:14,040 --> 00:49:16,560
Speaker 1: hasn't been I don't know what's happening with it. But

907
00:49:16,680 --> 00:49:20,719
Speaker 1: he's very sinister and it's really fun. It's good to

908
00:49:20,760 --> 00:49:23,799
Speaker 1: play a villain after all these years. I am also

909
00:49:23,960 --> 00:49:27,600
Speaker 1: officially advocating for somebody to write an episode where Mark

910
00:49:27,640 --> 00:49:30,200
Speaker 1: Hamill and Kevin Connray get to switch roles for one

911
00:49:30,360 --> 00:49:32,720
Speaker 1: for one episode. Oh they did that with Keep Remember

912
00:49:32,760 --> 00:49:36,000
Speaker 1: we did the body switch switch. I want to see

913
00:49:36,080 --> 00:49:38,520
Speaker 1: Mark Hamill is Batman and Kevin Connery is a joker.

914
00:49:38,600 --> 00:49:41,359
Speaker 1: I think that would be very very cool. His laugh

915
00:49:41,680 --> 00:49:46,480
Speaker 1: is just otherworldly. I mean it's just incredible. Well that was,

916
00:49:46,560 --> 00:49:49,680
Speaker 1: but that was the thing is so many people saw

917
00:49:49,800 --> 00:49:52,240
Speaker 1: Star Wars and kind of went, oh, Mark Camill cute.

918
00:49:52,320 --> 00:49:54,239
Speaker 1: Well that's what I knew of him from and then,

919
00:49:54,360 --> 00:49:58,440
Speaker 1: but his actual acting, he's a he's a character actor

920
00:49:58,640 --> 00:50:01,680
Speaker 1: and a ridiculous slee good one. He's not a young

921
00:50:01,840 --> 00:50:04,080
Speaker 1: leading man, which is what he was pigeoned hold into

922
00:50:04,120 --> 00:50:06,360
Speaker 1: because he was such a good looking god had haircut,

923
00:50:09,280 --> 00:50:11,520
Speaker 1: but my really good looking god. Oh he is such

924
00:50:11,560 --> 00:50:15,520
Speaker 1: as really a character actor. He's crazy and not only crazy,

925
00:50:15,560 --> 00:50:19,360
Speaker 1: but insanely talented. It's just watching that, all right. So

926
00:50:19,440 --> 00:50:22,520
Speaker 1: we've come to a portion of our podcast here that

927
00:50:22,960 --> 00:50:24,960
Speaker 1: um makes us a little different than all the other

928
00:50:25,000 --> 00:50:27,320
Speaker 1: podcasts out there. So while we're just starting, it's not

929
00:50:27,440 --> 00:50:29,520
Speaker 1: fully interactive yet, but eventually we are going to be

930
00:50:29,560 --> 00:50:33,280
Speaker 1: fully interactive, and kids, young adults, and even some adults

931
00:50:33,719 --> 00:50:36,640
Speaker 1: are going to get to skype in, come in talk

932
00:50:36,719 --> 00:50:39,640
Speaker 1: to their favorite voice over actors. But more importantly, artists

933
00:50:40,160 --> 00:50:43,160
Speaker 1: are going to send in pictures and have some of

934
00:50:43,239 --> 00:50:46,760
Speaker 1: their favorite voice over actors add voices to their character.

935
00:50:47,800 --> 00:50:51,799
Speaker 1: So we have a stack here, oh that was sent

936
00:50:55,600 --> 00:50:59,839
Speaker 1: But to completely put you on the spot, we've had

937
00:51:00,160 --> 00:51:02,400
Speaker 1: for our first couple episodes, we've had some kids, some

938
00:51:02,480 --> 00:51:06,680
Speaker 1: adults send in some pictures. Put you on the spot,

939
00:51:06,760 --> 00:51:11,120
Speaker 1: isn't it? This is the joys in the muscles, and

940
00:51:11,280 --> 00:51:13,360
Speaker 1: we would like would you like us to pick or

941
00:51:13,360 --> 00:51:16,360
Speaker 1: would you like to pick? Here we go? Here we go?

942
00:51:19,640 --> 00:51:22,120
Speaker 1: Is he picking at random? It's up to you. Okay,

943
00:51:23,880 --> 00:51:28,040
Speaker 1: Oh that's beautiful. Some great artists and some inspiring artists. Certainly,

944
00:51:28,880 --> 00:51:33,319
Speaker 1: it's kind of cool. These are fun. Again, imagine being

945
00:51:33,360 --> 00:51:36,400
Speaker 1: a little kid and getting Kevin Conroy to put a

946
00:51:36,520 --> 00:51:42,480
Speaker 1: voice to the character you've drawn. These are fun. These

947
00:51:42,520 --> 00:51:49,680
Speaker 1: are fun. Okay, I grabbed a couple. You grabbed that's awesome. Okay,

948
00:51:49,760 --> 00:51:52,920
Speaker 1: So this first one is a beautiful fish with it

949
00:51:52,960 --> 00:51:57,680
Speaker 1: almost looks like a very disnified fish. It's a beautiful fishes.

950
00:51:57,840 --> 00:52:01,479
Speaker 1: Uh is this from Sam? Who did our logo? Here? Sam?

00:52:01,600 --> 00:52:04,439
Speaker 1: This is a beautiful fish. Beautiful beautiful fish. And Kevin

00:52:04,480 --> 00:52:08,600
Speaker 1: Connray grabbed your fish right out of the stack. So okay, Kevin,

00:52:08,880 --> 00:52:11,640
Speaker 1: you're you see that you're an audition comes in front

954
00:52:11,640 --> 00:52:14,120
Speaker 1: of you. We want Kevin Conroy to read for the

955
00:52:14,160 --> 00:52:17,160
Speaker 1: part of Sam the fish. This is my butterfly, and

956
00:52:17,239 --> 00:52:20,800
Speaker 1: this is my favorite butterfly. This is my pet butterfly.

957
00:52:21,600 --> 00:52:28,239
Speaker 1: I'm caressing my butterfly because fish love butterflies. That's a

958
00:52:28,360 --> 00:52:31,479
Speaker 1: great voice. That's a great voice for Sam. The fish.

959
00:52:32,040 --> 00:52:34,760
Speaker 1: And here we have a cat who's also from Sam Portly.

960
00:52:35,239 --> 00:52:40,680
Speaker 1: He's partly that very Portly cat. This is King pussy Cat,

961

962
00:52:47,160 --> 00:52:51,920
Speaker 1: for the day. There you go, look at that sale.

963
00:52:53,000 --> 00:52:56,440
Speaker 1: Kevin Conroy just put voices to two of your characters.

964
00:52:56,840 --> 00:52:58,759
Speaker 1: We got them both up there. We do. We have

965
00:52:58,880 --> 00:53:03,960

969
00:53:16,920 --> 00:53:19,799
Speaker 1: This thing I just started doing that. I'm you never

970
00:53:19,920 --> 00:53:23,040
Speaker 1: know what you can talk about something awesome coming out.

971
00:53:23,960 --> 00:53:29,520
Speaker 1: It's by an Australian creator, Aborigine, right cool, which is

972
00:53:29,600 --> 00:53:32,480
Speaker 1: really interesting. Yeah. And then there was another one that

973
00:53:32,600 --> 00:53:34,960
Speaker 1: I did a couple of episodes of that. These are

974
00:53:35,000 --> 00:53:36,799
Speaker 1: things that are waiting to be picked up. I never

975
00:53:36,880 --> 00:53:40,120
Speaker 1: know what I'm allowed to say the names yet, on

976
00:53:40,200 --> 00:53:42,520
Speaker 1: the side of caution and just say you've got some

977
00:53:42,600 --> 00:53:45,040
Speaker 1: really cool stuff coming out, right Yeah, But then it

978
00:53:45,080 --> 00:53:46,920
Speaker 1: sounds like you're just an actor. Line to make it

979
00:53:46,960 --> 00:53:48,640
Speaker 1: sound like you're working. I do that all the time.

980
00:53:48,719 --> 00:53:50,919
Speaker 1: I do that all the time. I've got amazing things

981
00:53:50,960 --> 00:53:59,800
Speaker 1: coming out. I don't know which one to pick. I was.

982
00:54:00,400 --> 00:54:03,600
Speaker 1: You know when you do the the upfronts for the networks,

983
00:54:03,640 --> 00:54:06,359
Speaker 1: when you're doing a TV show, and so they bring

984
00:54:06,440 --> 00:54:08,520
Speaker 1: in to New York and you meet all the advertisers

985
00:54:08,600 --> 00:54:10,759
Speaker 1: or anything. And I was doing one for a show

986
00:54:10,840 --> 00:54:13,920
Speaker 1: that I was on with an actor and I was

987
00:54:14,000 --> 00:54:17,759
Speaker 1: doing interviews with him and he said, he's literally said

988
00:54:17,840 --> 00:54:20,920
Speaker 1: during the interview, I had a pile of script this

989
00:54:21,160 --> 00:54:24,160
Speaker 1: high and I picked this one off the top, and

990
00:54:24,280 --> 00:54:26,279
Speaker 1: I said, you know, this is a show I want

991
00:54:26,320 --> 00:54:31,759
Speaker 1: to do. And I was thinking, what a load. This

992
00:54:31,920 --> 00:54:36,040
Speaker 1: guy was so excited to get that job. And he's saying,

993
00:54:36,719 --> 00:54:46,600
Speaker 1: I had a lying Actors just act. They just act

994
00:54:46,680 --> 00:54:49,840
Speaker 1: actors acting. Oh gosh, that's actors being act That's the

995
00:54:49,840 --> 00:54:54,840
Speaker 1: way it is. That should be a podcasting. It's just

996
00:54:54,920 --> 00:54:57,320
Speaker 1: a whole bunch of whispering into the camera about so

997
00:54:57,360 --> 00:55:02,040
Speaker 1: where did you find your motivation? That's an r exactly, exactly,

998
00:55:02,080 --> 00:55:10,880
Speaker 1: Welcome to NPR. Actors on unctive. So again, we've now

999
00:55:11,040 --> 00:55:14,960
Speaker 1: got Batman for thirty somebody years. Batman ain't going anywhere.

1000
00:55:15,360 --> 00:55:19,160
Speaker 1: You're constantly being cast as Batman, Because you're Batman, Where

1001
00:55:19,200 --> 00:55:21,200
Speaker 1: do you what would you like to see from the

1002
00:55:21,360 --> 00:55:24,960
Speaker 1: Batman character that maybe you haven't done yet? Is there

1003
00:55:24,960 --> 00:55:27,080
Speaker 1: any part of this character in thirty years that has

1004
00:55:27,120 --> 00:55:30,320
Speaker 1: not been explored that you'd like to see? They've explored

1005
00:55:30,800 --> 00:55:34,520
Speaker 1: so much. I love it when his identity gets challenged.

1006
00:55:34,880 --> 00:55:37,200
Speaker 1: Those are scripts that I really get excited by. There

1007
00:55:37,280 --> 00:55:40,600
Speaker 1: was one called Perchance to Dream where he gets drugged

1008
00:55:41,160 --> 00:55:43,920
Speaker 1: and he goes back into his childhood. And so I

1009
00:55:44,040 --> 00:55:47,680
Speaker 1: was Bruce Wayne, I was Batman, I was drugged to Batman,

1010
00:55:48,280 --> 00:55:51,600
Speaker 1: then I was adolescent Bruce Wayne, and I was Thomas Wayne,

1011
00:55:51,640 --> 00:55:53,520
Speaker 1: the father. So he did five voices in that in

1012
00:55:53,600 --> 00:55:57,240
Speaker 1: that show that all have to be believably connected but distinct,

1013
00:55:58,080 --> 00:56:01,040
Speaker 1: But those kind of because it's the psychology of the

1014
00:56:01,160 --> 00:56:03,800
Speaker 1: character that makes him so interesting. Yeah, So any of

1015
00:56:03,840 --> 00:56:06,480
Speaker 1: the ones that challenge that I love, Like at the

1016
00:56:06,680 --> 00:56:09,920
Speaker 1: end of Arkham Knight, Yeah, the game, that's what happens

1017
00:56:09,960 --> 00:56:13,400
Speaker 1: to him. He gets his identity gets challenged. So I

1018
00:56:14,239 --> 00:56:16,600
Speaker 1: I love it when that happens. It does it seems

1019
00:56:16,640 --> 00:56:19,600
Speaker 1: like kind of the toughest fights ever for Batman are

1020
00:56:19,640 --> 00:56:23,080
Speaker 1: really the fights Bruce Wayne has to do against himself. Yeah, yeah,

1021
00:56:23,120 --> 00:56:25,279
Speaker 1: which is kind of the cool thing I ever wonder.

1022
00:56:25,320 --> 00:56:27,880
Speaker 1: I have a great big collection of cells. I've been

1023
00:56:27,880 --> 00:56:29,680
Speaker 1: collecting them all the time i've been doing the show.

1024
00:56:29,719 --> 00:56:33,480
Speaker 1: So I've got like sixty or seventies cells, and one

1025
00:56:33,520 --> 00:56:38,960
Speaker 1: of them is Batman struggling with Bruce Wayne. Oh that's

1026
00:56:39,360 --> 00:56:44,000
Speaker 1: that's that's very cool that you know. I've got to ask,

1027
00:56:44,040 --> 00:56:47,080
Speaker 1: do you sign your own seals make worth more? Yes? Yeah,

1028
00:56:48,080 --> 00:56:51,080
Speaker 1: of course, of course you have to do the same thing.

1029
00:56:51,200 --> 00:56:52,960
Speaker 1: It's like, this is the greatest thing. I'm gonna hang

1030
00:56:53,000 --> 00:56:59,040
Speaker 1: it on my wall to I started collecting other ones

1031
00:56:59,080 --> 00:57:03,080
Speaker 1: like Looney Tune and Hanna Barbera and You're still talking

1043
00:57:46,080 --> 00:57:48,840
