I Always Did Plays In School Because

The Voice-over World Has Changed Radically In The Time That I've Been In It. It Used To Be This Rather Small, Select Group Of People Who Did 90 Percent Of The Work. Now It's Kind Of The Reverse: 90 Percent Of The Work Is Done By This Very Broad Mix Of People All Over The Country, And The Guys Who Used To Be The Go-to Guys Are A Much Smaller Percentage Now. But There Was This Massive Interest In Voice-over As Well As In The Story, So I Think That Also Added To The Film's Appeal.

I'm One Of Relatively Few Stage-trained Actors Who Doesn't Much Like Acting On Stage. It Feels Kind Of Like Riding The Cyclone At Coney Island, Which I Did When I Was Eight. When It Was All Over, I Was Glad I Had Done It, But Most Of The Time When It Was Actually Happening, I Was Just Kind Of Hanging On For Dear Life.
