Indeed, so you know you're 15 00:00:52.000 --> 00:00:55.320 a veteran of the con world. Now you always going to a different conventions. 16 00:00:55.320 --> 00:00:57.479 You're doing Q and A panel, So that's very much what we're going 17 00:00:57.520 --> 00:01:00.600 to be doing here. We've asked some of our supporters for some questions for 18 00:01:00.719 --> 00:01:03.040 Jim coming just asked him anything, hashtag asked him anything, and have sent 19 00:01:03.120 --> 00:01:07.040 through a whole bunch that we're going to be asking you today. So basically, 20 00:01:07.079 --> 00:01:08.519 the whole purpose of this podcast is, you know, some people they 21 00:01:08.519 --> 00:01:11.959 can't afford to go to cons, they might not live near where the cons 22 00:01:11.000 --> 00:01:14.560 being held. So we're bringing the con to the people. So we're gonna 23 00:01:14.560 --> 00:01:17.359 be doing a couple of Q and A podcasts each month, and this is 24 00:01:17.359 --> 00:01:19.519 gonna be the first one we're gonna be doing right here on tuned in. 25 00:01:19.519 --> 00:01:22.760 So, Jim, are you ready to answer your first question? Yes, 26 00:01:23.000 --> 00:01:26.760 I say fire away and if I don't know the answer, I'll make something 27 00:01:26.879 --> 00:01:30.879 up, all right. Men in the back, his name is Mitch Grinter. 28 00:01:30.000 --> 00:01:34.159 He asked you as much as he's sure both script and animation combine as 29 00:01:34.159 --> 00:01:38.280 inspiration. What do you first look to when creating a voice? None of 30 00:01:38.280 --> 00:01:42.120 your damn business, Match, stay out of my work. Okay, geez, 31 00:01:42.400 --> 00:01:47.319 some people I can't believe he as a gland to ask that. No, 32 00:01:47.680 --> 00:01:49.159 thanks for asking, Match, That's what I meant to say, it's 33 00:01:49.159 --> 00:01:53.519 coming back to me, so gosh. Yeah, well, you know, 34 00:01:53.640 --> 00:01:59.359 sometimes it's fun. If you see a guy we's five hundred pounds, it's 35 00:01:59.400 --> 00:02:01.640 fun to give him a little bitty voice like that. You never know a 36 00:02:01.719 --> 00:02:06.879 coup work. And they say the opposite of true. If a guys looks 37 00:02:06.920 --> 00:02:12.120 like an aunt, it's kind of fun to make him sound like Godzilla or 38 00:02:12.159 --> 00:02:16.000 in this case, my uncle Sam got restless soul um but um. But 39 00:02:16.120 --> 00:02:19.759 you you know, like with a guy like dark Wing, he's not super 40 00:02:19.759 --> 00:02:25.039 big, he's not very super small, but then you you you kind of 41 00:02:25.039 --> 00:02:30.879 infuse the personality in there, and dark Wings very sort of sarcastic and a 42 00:02:30.960 --> 00:02:35.199 Wisenheimer, and so am I and uh, so I guess that was a 43 00:02:35.240 --> 00:02:38.919 perfect fit. But it's all those things and and uh a lot of times, 44 00:02:39.319 --> 00:02:45.520 uh, they'll know it, you know, there's an expression with casting 45 00:02:45.560 --> 00:02:49.919 directors and directors, producers, writers, well I don't know what I want, 46 00:02:49.960 --> 00:02:53.159 but I'll know it when I hear it. And you know, not 47 00:02:53.240 --> 00:02:59.319 to get off topic, but don carnage for Tailspin, which is probably another 48 00:02:59.360 --> 00:03:07.280 show they everybody was British but me and I don't know what this accent was, 49 00:03:07.919 --> 00:03:13.680 but it was sort of slightly Cuban caribbee and and you know they had 50 00:03:13.680 --> 00:03:16.120 pirates too. Of course he was a sky pirate. But you know, 51 00:03:16.240 --> 00:03:21.080 it's the point is it's kind of fun to throw him something that they just 52 00:03:21.159 --> 00:03:23.840 would never have thought of, and that works. That works. I just 53 00:03:23.879 --> 00:03:28.159 wanted to tag onto something really quick, a little add on question to that, 54 00:03:28.199 --> 00:03:30.879 because you know, obviously we're talking about creating character voices. But you 55 00:03:30.879 --> 00:03:35.000 know, I remember you talking about something where, you know, when you 56 00:03:35.000 --> 00:03:38.159 have to do voices that aren't original, and they wanted to sound you know, 57 00:03:38.199 --> 00:03:39.879 like almost like a carbon copy of the voice actor who did it before 58 00:03:39.919 --> 00:03:44.560 you. I remember you mentioning something about, like, you know, finding 59 00:03:44.560 --> 00:03:47.759 a way to bring like your own voice into somebody else's voice essentially. Could 60 00:03:47.800 --> 00:03:52.319 you elaborate on that just how you approach that? Oh sure, yeah, 61 00:03:52.479 --> 00:03:54.879 well, you know, like you could take Pooh and Tigger for example, 62 00:03:55.520 --> 00:03:59.639 and then you rely on the personalities. You have to first of all, 63 00:03:59.639 --> 00:04:03.000 the voice print dash to be right there, dash to be Pool. You 64 00:04:03.039 --> 00:04:06.319 know, it has to be Pool if he's sneezing or you know, yawning 65 00:04:06.439 --> 00:04:12.280 or whatever. And with any established character. But um, you know you 66 00:04:12.400 --> 00:04:15.639 let it informed by the way, have it be informed by the personalities? 67 00:04:16.319 --> 00:04:21.240 Uh, you know, by you know, the the atmosphere and everything else 68 00:04:21.279 --> 00:04:24.759 around it. And what was the second half of the question? To make 69 00:04:24.800 --> 00:04:26.879 sure I address it. What I'm really trying to get out is like, 70 00:04:26.879 --> 00:04:30.879 how do you bring you to something when you're really just like almost copying it, 71 00:04:30.959 --> 00:04:32.959 you know, like you had mentioned, I forget in detail. I'd 72 00:04:33.040 --> 00:04:36.279 love for you to go into like detail on how how you bring like yourself 73 00:04:36.480 --> 00:04:40.800 to another voice if that's making sense, you know, how you bring like 74 00:04:40.839 --> 00:04:45.879 a core piece of you into something that's not necessarily They're not looking for anything 75 00:04:46.040 --> 00:04:50.000 necessarily different or unique. They're looking for right well, you know, uh 76 00:04:50.240 --> 00:04:55.800 I that's a good one. You know, the movie Christopher Robin is probably 77 00:04:56.319 --> 00:05:01.560 a good example of that, um, because I I found myself almost to 78 00:05:01.600 --> 00:05:04.439 ad living as but it has to be Pooh. It had to be it 79 00:05:04.480 --> 00:05:09.040 had to sound like Pooh. And there were a few lines that I changed 80 00:05:09.120 --> 00:05:12.800 around, and um, gosh, I wish I could come up with a 81 00:05:12.839 --> 00:05:16.920 good example for you right now. Oh wow. One was, um when 82 00:05:16.959 --> 00:05:23.959 when Christopher Robin grew up and Pooh was cast by the wayside, you know, 83 00:05:24.079 --> 00:05:26.720 and everyone. I'll give you a moment to get your tissues. If 84 00:05:26.759 --> 00:05:29.759 you saw the movie, you know what I mean. And uh, there 85 00:05:29.800 --> 00:05:35.800 was a moment when Pooh realized that Christopher Robin probably forgot him. You know, 86 00:05:35.879 --> 00:05:39.720 he was a man, he was an adult. He's out there in 87 00:05:39.720 --> 00:05:43.319 the business world, he's an accountant, he's doing great things and dah da 88 00:05:43.399 --> 00:05:46.600 da da da, don't have time for this syllable silliness. And and I 89 00:05:46.639 --> 00:05:51.319 remember thinking, well, you know, you know, if I were Pooh, 90 00:05:51.399 --> 00:05:54.839 and I guess I am, you know, I would say, so 91 00:05:55.839 --> 00:06:00.120 did you forget about me? And it was one of those poignant moments. 92 00:06:00.240 --> 00:06:04.480 And uh, and they they kind of redid it. And and you had 93 00:06:04.519 --> 00:06:08.920 said, yeah, I suppose I did, you know, And it was 94 00:06:09.480 --> 00:06:14.120 one of those things where you let it breathe and nobody said anything for a 95 00:06:14.120 --> 00:06:16.439 while, and uh, and it was just one of those sweet, sweet, 96 00:06:16.480 --> 00:06:20.519 bittersweet moments. You know, those moments are there, but you have 97 00:06:20.560 --> 00:06:24.360 to I think one of one thing is to let it breathe a little bit, 98 00:06:24.360 --> 00:06:29.120 because sometimes we do. Certainly an animation, uh, you know, 99 00:06:29.120 --> 00:06:31.040 it's breakneck speed, boom boom boom, joke, set up jokes, set 100 00:06:31.079 --> 00:06:34.920 up jokes, set up joke, But there's an expression. There's when it's 101 00:06:35.040 --> 00:06:39.680 voice acting, it's a small V but a capital A. So you have 102 00:06:39.720 --> 00:06:43.480 to remember that, you know, not informs it. I think we have 103 00:06:43.600 --> 00:06:47.560 a question from that QB looking fellow in the back there, that's that's Pat 104 00:06:47.639 --> 00:06:51.600 rots Uh. He was asking Jim, is there a character? I mean, 105 00:06:51.680 --> 00:06:55.959 you clearly have a repertoire and a portfolio full of voices, but is 106 00:06:55.959 --> 00:07:00.279 there a character you wish you had voiced? Oh my gosh, yes, 107 00:07:00.439 --> 00:07:05.800 God, thanks for bringing it up, Pat, Pat, Marge Simpson, 108 00:07:05.920 --> 00:07:13.399 there are you happy? Fine? My biggest failure. No, it's a 109 00:07:13.399 --> 00:07:17.240 good question. And I've actually been asked that a few times. And you 110 00:07:17.279 --> 00:07:23.560 know, no, I because what that would translate to, and you know 111 00:07:23.600 --> 00:07:28.160 in the real world is jealousy, you know. And uh, I should 112 00:07:28.160 --> 00:07:30.759 have got that, you know, and every every actor in the world got 113 00:07:30.759 --> 00:07:32.680 a little bit of that. Wait who got it? Oh? Fine, 114 00:07:33.439 --> 00:07:39.519 sure, Robert de Niro, Fine, And uh, you just can't. 115 00:07:40.079 --> 00:07:43.720 You just can't go there. I don't anyway. Well, obviously you are 116 00:07:43.800 --> 00:07:46.879 a legend of voice acting. But when it comes to the kitchen, though, 117 00:07:46.000 --> 00:07:48.600 hell are you in the kitchen? Because Julia parkey wants to know what 118 00:07:48.720 --> 00:07:53.120 is your signature dish? What is jim coming signature dish in the kitchen? 119 00:07:53.680 --> 00:08:01.240 Well, you haven't had toast until I've bust up my toaster, you know. 120 00:08:01.759 --> 00:08:07.199 But gosh, his signature dish, you know, uh said for him 121 00:08:07.199 --> 00:08:09.240 when I when I was a kid, I was decading on a riverboat and 122 00:08:09.240 --> 00:08:11.519 I showed up and apparently and I didn't know this, you know, I 123 00:08:11.560 --> 00:08:16.079 was nineteen and uh, oh, by the way, boy, you to 124 00:08:16.160 --> 00:08:22.319 cook what? No, I'm not, you're not. Oh boy, do 125 00:08:22.360 --> 00:08:26.519 you like scrambled eggs? And wait till I get is there a toaster around 126 00:08:26.519 --> 00:08:30.120 here? Prepared to be dazzled? You know? But uh no, but 127 00:08:30.240 --> 00:08:33.919 I I ended up. I ended up learning how to make red beans and 128 00:08:33.000 --> 00:08:37.840 rice. And that's uh, you know red I call them riverboat red beans 129 00:08:37.879 --> 00:08:41.440 because I learned how to make them on the Mississippi. And when I I've 130 00:08:41.480 --> 00:08:45.720 told this story before, when I say that I learned to make them on 131 00:08:45.759 --> 00:08:48.840 the Mississippi River, I mean I don't mean on the shore. I don't 132 00:08:48.840 --> 00:08:54.159 mean you could see the river from where we were docked or whatever. No, 133 00:08:54.799 --> 00:09:00.679 I was on a boat called the Old Dutch and and uh, and 134 00:09:01.000 --> 00:09:05.120 he said, well boy, and his name was Leons LeBlanc and there's a 135 00:09:05.159 --> 00:09:09.159 story about him too, but you know, God rest his soul. He 136 00:09:09.279 --> 00:09:11.600 said, yeah, I'm got this is my last time on the river, 137 00:09:13.360 --> 00:09:16.440 and I ain't got time to teach you how to do this stuff. No, 138 00:09:16.039 --> 00:09:20.840 but by the time you get over here, you're going to know how 139 00:09:20.879 --> 00:09:24.320 to me rab being and rise. And I said, wow, okay, 140 00:09:24.360 --> 00:09:30.919 that's I could. Probably that skill will come in handy and so now I 141 00:09:31.000 --> 00:09:35.240 do. And just for quick, since you dragged it out of me. 142 00:09:35.120 --> 00:09:41.840 Uh that was the voice of Leatherhead on Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. I knew 143 00:09:41.840 --> 00:09:45.519 it was something I couldn't Yeah. Yeah, and I have to tell you 144 00:09:45.879 --> 00:09:48.639 that, you know, the Turtles was one of the first jobs I ever 145 00:09:48.639 --> 00:09:50.200 got when I was in the business. And you know, I know that 146 00:09:50.240 --> 00:09:54.399 he retired because he was He told me he retired, and I couldn't help, 147 00:09:54.440 --> 00:10:01.840 but wonder if his grandkids were teenage muting Ninja Turtle fans. And leather 148 00:10:01.919 --> 00:10:05.360 Head comes on, I'm going to get y'all turtles. Hey, grandpa, 149 00:10:05.519 --> 00:10:09.919 come in here. Do you know this? Get it right here?

Next question, guy, Yeah, no, 173 00:11:37.320 --> 00:11:41.519 ye, we are definitely going to have to have just a riverboat themed 174 00:11:41.519 --> 00:11:43.919 episode because I just want to hear that couch in the accent for like half 175 00:11:43.919 --> 00:11:48.279 an hour. Oh yeah, that's all I want. Voice actor Jadon Lebron 176 00:11:48.600 --> 00:11:52.840 asks as a voice actor himself, and knowing that everyone's reasons for getting into 177 00:11:52.840 --> 00:11:56.519 the game are different, what can pill you, Jim Cummings to get into 178 00:11:56.600 --> 00:12:05.080 voice acting? I couldn't do anything else. And we ken it was your 179 00:12:05.120 --> 00:12:07.679 dad pointing to the TV. Wasn't it he didn't he dad say those galls 180 00:12:07.679 --> 00:12:11.960 on TV? They yeah it was. It was when I was five. 181 00:12:11.200 --> 00:12:13.720 Yeah, that's what I was gonna say. You know, I was sitting 182 00:12:13.720 --> 00:12:20.600 there, we were watching the Jack Benny program and um mel blank was uh 183 00:12:20.080 --> 00:12:24.919 part of the repertoire the company that was on there every week, and uh 184 00:12:24.919 --> 00:12:30.200 he was doing his famous ce Si routine where uh he was wearing a sarapi 185 00:12:30.240 --> 00:12:33.360 and a Mexican sombrero, and he goes, so, what is your name 186 00:12:33.399 --> 00:12:37.960 there? My friend Si? I see? And uh do you come here 187 00:12:37.960 --> 00:12:41.600 often? See? And uh so do you? And he just went on 188 00:12:41.639 --> 00:12:46.200 and on and every answer was c so you know, Sue, you know. 189 00:12:46.480 --> 00:12:50.279 And and so my dad goes, he say it is bastard and I 190 00:12:50.320 --> 00:12:56.000 go, yeah, he said, that's bastard. Every every Saturday morning you 191 00:12:56.039 --> 00:13:00.320 wake up and and he's the one that does that Daffy Duck, that Arnold 192 00:13:00.399 --> 00:13:03.279 Dug, the Tasmania this, and that's that's him. That's him. He's 193 00:13:03.279 --> 00:13:07.480 a Sylvester guy in it. And the first thing I thought, well, 194 00:13:07.519 --> 00:13:09.840 he doesn't have to stand in the corner from making weird sounds, now, 195 00:13:11.000 --> 00:13:15.480 does he? And so I said, okay, I'm gonna do that. 196 00:13:16.519 --> 00:13:20.360 Everybody likes him. He seems to be doing fairly well for himself. He's 197 00:13:20.360 --> 00:13:24.639 on television, We're watching him, he ain't watching us, And so I 198 00:13:24.679 --> 00:13:28.159 said, okay, that's what I'll do. How soon realistically after that moment, 199 00:13:28.279 --> 00:13:31.360 did you stop practicing voices or was it just something that you just did. 200 00:13:31.399 --> 00:13:33.399 You didn't practice, they just came out. Yeah, No, I 201 00:13:33.399 --> 00:13:35.360 didn't practice. I just did it all the time. Yeah, I just 202 00:13:35.399 --> 00:13:39.759 did it all the time. Everybody was so flattered. They hated me. 203 00:13:43.120 --> 00:13:45.960 You know, my uncle Sam got restless soul, you know what. He 204 00:13:46.080 --> 00:13:50.600 dug just like this, and that's just the way he's unlike somebody dragging a 205 00:13:50.679 --> 00:13:56.679 garden regge grounds the gravel. And and everybody would saying, Jerry, do 206 00:13:56.879 --> 00:14:03.240 argle than do arga than hell, damn Jesus Christ. Zed's both to sound 207 00:14:03.320 --> 00:14:07.360 like me, you know. And that was and then I and you didn't 208 00:14:07.399 --> 00:14:13.639 mess with Uncle Sam because because he was he was. He was as messed. 209 00:14:13.840 --> 00:14:16.639 He was as badass as he sounded, and that was pretty bad. 210 00:14:18.200 --> 00:14:20.279 So no that I was just kidding, That wasn't you. There must have 211 00:14:20.320 --> 00:14:24.600 been a point where it went from something that you do to something that you 212 00:14:24.639 --> 00:14:28.759 could do for a living. I mean, what do you do you recall 213 00:14:28.840 --> 00:14:31.240 that that moment in your life, all that all that that phase of your 214 00:14:31.279 --> 00:14:33.399 life where it's like, Okay, I can make a buck. Because there's 215 00:14:33.399 --> 00:14:37.360 a difference between doing voices and realizing, wait a minute, I'm actually really 216 00:14:37.399 --> 00:14:41.200 good at this. Well I guess I knew. I mean I was always 217 00:14:41.200 --> 00:14:45.320 in place like like I said as a kid, like, uh, even 218 00:14:45.360 --> 00:14:48.399 you know, grade school, high school, and um, and I there 219 00:14:48.480 --> 00:14:50.559 was speech tournaments. I don't know if you guys have there, but we 220 00:14:50.679 --> 00:14:56.320 have. It was called the NFL National Forensics League. Not that I wish 221 00:14:56.360 --> 00:14:58.279 I was in the other one, but this, you know, this one 222 00:14:58.320 --> 00:15:01.080 will have to do. And why do you go to speech tournaments? And 223 00:15:01.120 --> 00:15:07.559 I was involved big shock humorous interpretation. And that's where you do. You 224 00:15:07.639 --> 00:15:11.360 take a cutting from a play or a cut from movies, four or five 225 00:15:11.399 --> 00:15:16.000 pages, maybe six, and you do all the characters. And so I 226 00:15:16.039 --> 00:15:20.919 did that, and um and I knew, like I said, from very 227 00:15:22.000 --> 00:15:24.519 very early age that I was going to end up doing that. And um, 228 00:15:26.360 --> 00:15:28.519 you know, I got out of I got got out of high school, 229 00:15:28.559 --> 00:15:31.919 and and I went to all these speech tournaments and I would win. 230 00:15:31.320 --> 00:15:37.559 I It sounds weird to say, but I will one free one I ever 231 00:15:37.639 --> 00:15:39.799 went to. I was. I came here, I was the first. 232 00:15:39.879 --> 00:15:45.399 Yeah, yeah, I mean that's I don't think I've told that to anybody 233 00:15:45.399 --> 00:15:48.840 before, but because it sounds like such a brag, but but I just 234 00:15:50.080 --> 00:15:52.039 it was something you had a knack for. I mean, Lebron probably did 235 00:15:52.039 --> 00:15:56.360 pretty well in basketball, when he was in high school. Help being the 236 00:15:56.360 --> 00:15:58.519 best of the best. Kenny, Oh yeah, it's a curse. Yeah 237 00:15:58.559 --> 00:16:03.039 that now I remember that. I was just gonna say that, but uh 238 00:16:03.240 --> 00:16:06.679 and bragging if he can do it? Yeah yeah, yeah, that was 239 00:16:07.080 --> 00:16:10.679 the guns of will sonnet But um, you know, it was just something 240 00:16:10.720 --> 00:16:12.240 that I always had. I now, I always knew that I was going 241 00:16:12.279 --> 00:16:18.320 to do it. I always really did somehow or another. And uh, 242 00:16:18.360 --> 00:16:21.120 and I'm like I said, I made my first demo tape and I got 243 00:16:21.200 --> 00:16:23.279 lucky to an extent. I mean, there's got to be luck in there 244 00:16:23.320 --> 00:16:29.039 somewhere. And I got the very first job that I ever went out for. 245 00:16:29.840 --> 00:16:33.200 And I think Chris pointed out last week he was Dumbo Circus and uh. 246 00:16:33.759 --> 00:16:37.639 And and that that lasted for I'm going to say like a year and 247 00:16:37.679 --> 00:16:41.919 a half. Well that it was enough to live on. You know, 248 00:16:41.919 --> 00:16:47.240 We're doing two shows and I was making about three hundred bucks a week more 249 00:16:48.159 --> 00:16:53.840 doing eight hours than the total including drivetime. Then I was at the video 250 00:16:53.879 --> 00:16:59.440 depot and I was hundreds of dollars more and that was fifty hours. So 251 00:16:59.480 --> 00:17:02.879 I said, OK, I'm gonna do this And then was in your own 252 00:17:02.879 --> 00:17:07.000 time, Nan yeah, watch exactly right. And so by the time that 253 00:17:07.119 --> 00:17:10.559 ended up, I had an agent, and then I was doing a lot 254 00:17:10.599 --> 00:17:15.079 of TV commercials, radio radio, a lot of radio spots, good back 255 00:17:15.119 --> 00:17:18.599 and forth, even to San Diego, and you know, one thing led 256 00:17:18.599 --> 00:17:22.480 to another. Here we are, Chris. Can you remember the first voice 257 00:17:22.759 --> 00:17:26.240 that Jim did for you? Yes? I can, the first voice, 258 00:17:26.160 --> 00:17:30.799 Yes I can. It was the first time I met Jim. I was 259 00:17:30.839 --> 00:17:34.599 in college. Actually, I was in college and I was doing a project 260 00:17:36.400 --> 00:17:41.759 for one of my communications classes and Jim volunteered to take me out and he 261 00:17:41.799 --> 00:17:47.359 was doing a recording for a McDonald's commercial, and funnily enough, funnily enough 262 00:17:47.440 --> 00:17:49.559 it was and we went down I think it was some studio in like Malibu 263 00:17:49.640 --> 00:17:53.599 or Santa Monica or something like that. Yeah, and we went down there, 264 00:17:53.640 --> 00:18:00.599 and funnily enough, it was McDonald's commercial for in Australia. And I 265 00:18:00.279 --> 00:18:04.039 was fascinated because I was like, it was maybe like a three line commercial. 266 00:18:04.079 --> 00:18:07.960 It was like, you know, try the new McDonald's frappe, you 267 00:18:08.000 --> 00:18:11.599 know, this summer only I'm loving it. You know, I can't do 268 00:18:11.640 --> 00:18:18.119 the accent nearly as good obviously, Yeah, but uh, yeah, it 269 00:18:18.240 --> 00:18:21.720 was that was the very first voice I heard him do, like in person. 270 00:18:22.039 --> 00:18:25.680 And I think afterwards we went to we went for like a little lunch 271 00:18:25.720 --> 00:18:30.839 afterwards at a restaurant and then he ordered to the to the waitress in Tiger's 272 00:18:30.920 --> 00:18:34.279 voice and then seeing her reaction, seeing her like melt down all of a 273 00:18:34.319 --> 00:18:38.440 sudden at the table and like need a moment as our server. I just 274 00:18:38.480 --> 00:18:41.640 thought that was so hilarious. And the combination between the two, like, 275 00:18:42.319 --> 00:18:47.720 I thought, wow, I thought they would have just hired like a local, 276 00:18:48.000 --> 00:18:51.640 you know, ausy guy to say three lines like you know, yeah, 277 00:18:51.680 --> 00:18:55.480 but I guess Jim sounds Jim sounds more Australian than they do even so 278 00:18:55.599 --> 00:19:00.119 I guess that's what. Yeah, I remember that? Do you do? 279 00:19:00.160 --> 00:19:03.839 You guys remember Tristan Rogers. He was, He was a big soap star 280 00:19:03.279 --> 00:19:07.440 Australia fella. He was on Days of Our Lives. Yeah, yeah, 281 00:19:07.480 --> 00:19:10.799 well, uh, I don't you might hears the here. You really won't 282 00:19:10.799 --> 00:19:15.240 remember this Matil Debay wine coolers. Uh it was one of those terrible wine 283 00:19:15.240 --> 00:19:19.640 coolers that came out late eighties, early nineties. Yeah, and uh it 284 00:19:19.680 --> 00:19:23.440 was Matil Debay wine cooler, you know, and it was a bad poul 285 00:19:23.519 --> 00:19:29.119 Agan was getting the refinemus and uh, and you know, and they and 286 00:19:29.440 --> 00:19:34.480 I was doing a spot with him and uh, we were supposed to be 287 00:19:34.559 --> 00:19:38.640 two guys upon a cliff doing something doing this and that. No, it 288 00:19:38.680 --> 00:19:42.880 was really hot. And I finally ahead and Matilda Bay Wine Cooler, you 289 00:19:42.920 --> 00:19:47.519 know, and we're going back and forth and um, apparently he said to 290 00:19:47.559 --> 00:19:52.480 the producers beforehand, Um, he said, well, now this villa is 291 00:19:52.519 --> 00:19:56.839 he from Mistralgia And he said no. He goes, well, well I'll 292 00:19:56.839 --> 00:20:00.960 be I'll be seeing you again because our guarantee we're going to overlap. And 293 00:20:02.000 --> 00:20:04.000 then I'll have to come back with the new guy because he's not going to 294 00:20:04.079 --> 00:20:08.640 sound like it's from Mstrouge. And then we went through the whole bit and 295 00:20:08.640 --> 00:20:12.079 he goes, all right, remember all that bullshit I said earlier? Never 296 00:20:12.160 --> 00:20:19.000 mind, you know. So so I that made me feel good. I'm 297 00:20:19.039 --> 00:20:22.240 interested to know what what Tiger would order at the McDonald's. What would Tiger 298 00:20:22.319 --> 00:20:30.319 order at McDonald's.

I've got another one here from Henry Scanlon, 310 00:21:18.000 --> 00:21:21.599 and Henry says, your character Hondo is a huge part of the Star Wars 311 00:21:21.599 --> 00:21:26.359 Galaxy's Edge. But can you recall your first ever visit to Disneyland. Oh 312 00:21:26.400 --> 00:21:33.559 gosh, let's see. Yeah, yeah, I sure can, um and 313 00:21:33.680 --> 00:21:41.920 it was it was actually, I guess Chippendale Rescue Rangers was out and my 314 00:21:41.960 --> 00:21:45.839 oldest daughter who's in her forties now. Uh, she was. She was 315 00:21:45.920 --> 00:21:49.759 the firstborn and she was about three three and a half. And we took 316 00:21:49.759 --> 00:21:56.799 her there and we went inside the show and it was, um and it 317 00:21:56.839 --> 00:22:02.559 was it was Cat fat Cat. It was like the Chippendale Rescue Rangers skypilot 318 00:22:03.279 --> 00:22:07.640 show, you know, and it was the whole such as that. And 319 00:22:07.720 --> 00:22:12.680 it was and that was and it was to see see me doing some work. 320 00:22:12.880 --> 00:22:15.759 It was. It was interesting, you know. I mean it's like 321 00:22:15.799 --> 00:22:22.079 in every it's weird because every time I've ever been to Disneyland, there's been 322 00:22:22.119 --> 00:22:26.960 an attraction there that I would just check up on to see how it was, 323 00:22:26.119 --> 00:22:29.920 you know, like as if I didn't know how it went. But 324 00:22:30.960 --> 00:22:34.680 boy, still still sounds the same, right, just check it all right, 325 00:22:36.039 --> 00:22:37.880 carry on talk amongst yourself. No, let me do that for you. 326 00:22:38.960 --> 00:22:44.039 But yeah, it was fun. We have a question from Diane mccury. 327 00:22:44.759 --> 00:22:48.200 Has anyone ever had to fill in for one of your characters? Um? 328 00:22:49.240 --> 00:22:52.599 No, never been a time when you're unavailable. You've always been available. 329 00:22:53.400 --> 00:22:57.920 Well, you know, it's these type of things are it's fairly flexible. 330 00:22:59.599 --> 00:23:03.920 And um, I could say this. I once and I made this 331 00:23:04.039 --> 00:23:10.319 mistake because I have this very blue collar attitude toward a no caller career. 332 00:23:10.839 --> 00:23:14.200 And I was a little under the weather and I was a little bit of 333 00:23:14.240 --> 00:23:18.440 a cold, you know, this type of thing. And it was doing 334 00:23:18.440 --> 00:23:22.559 the very very first season of the New Adventures of Windy Pooh. And I 335 00:23:22.599 --> 00:23:27.200 went to work anyway, and I remember hearing Pooh come out, Pooh sh 336 00:23:27.240 --> 00:23:30.480 ou died. Look, I had a bit of a cold, and I 337 00:23:30.480 --> 00:23:34.200 went, oh, gosh, see the thing is they last forever? You 338 00:23:34.240 --> 00:23:38.279 know that, you know I when I was a kid, I said earlier, 339 00:23:38.319 --> 00:23:44.039 I enjoyed cartoons from the nineteen thirties, you know, forties, fifties, 340 00:23:44.119 --> 00:23:47.759 and so don't be sick. You know, they could put it off 341 00:23:47.799 --> 00:23:49.559 for a couple of days till you get better. And you know that's how 342 00:23:49.599 --> 00:23:53.599 I learned it protective. Are you of your roles? Uh? Well, 343 00:23:55.079 --> 00:23:59.160 very they're they're kind of like my kids, you know, they become an 344 00:23:59.160 --> 00:24:03.799 extension of your personality. And I almost told the story about someone replacing me 345 00:24:03.839 --> 00:24:11.960 as Don Carnage and he couldn't pronounce the name. Great, yeah, he 346 00:24:11.039 --> 00:24:15.279 called it Don car Nash. What was he replacing you? Oh, I 347 00:24:15.319 --> 00:24:21.759 don't know. He might have been facially famous. Thanks for bringing it up. 348 00:24:22.279 --> 00:24:26.559 No, but that that that it was good, wasn't it? Yeah? 349 00:24:26.599 --> 00:24:30.839 It was, God, No, it was. But my friend Jinny 350 00:24:30.920 --> 00:24:34.160 McSwain, uh has a she's a great director, you know her, Andre 351 00:24:34.359 --> 00:24:37.960 Romano. There a few of them out there, Gordon hunt um. And 352 00:24:38.279 --> 00:24:42.359 she said, well they she called a TV guide casting. Oh, let's 353 00:24:42.440 --> 00:24:45.359 this person's on a famous soap opera. Oh, this one just made him. 354 00:24:45.519 --> 00:24:48.480 Oh, this one, this one, this one, you know, 355 00:24:48.559 --> 00:24:52.680 and it's a different critter. But they got this uh chap who made some 356 00:24:52.839 --> 00:25:00.079 sort of splash and some broad Way little the fancy thing, and they they 357 00:25:00.160 --> 00:25:04.400 decided it would be fun to have him come in and do not carnage but 358 00:25:04.519 --> 00:25:11.200 darn carnash. And I heard that. I went at least say the guy's 359 00:25:11.279 --> 00:25:14.839 name, right. So was this after the show had started? Uh? 360 00:25:14.920 --> 00:25:17.960 No, this is actually just in the past couple of year, three, 361 00:25:18.559 --> 00:25:22.359 four years, No more than oh so recently. I think during the run 362 00:25:22.359 --> 00:25:25.640 of the original show. No, I was gonna say, it seems to 363 00:25:25.680 --> 00:25:27.400 be a more recurring thing. Now have you noticed now that it seems to 364 00:25:27.400 --> 00:25:32.359 be they've they more focused on whose names on the post as opposed to have 365 00:25:32.680 --> 00:25:34.480 the quality of the actual voice. Do you feel like that's the way it's 366 00:25:34.480 --> 00:25:37.480 sort of the the tract they've gone down now? Oh yeah, sure, 367 00:25:37.960 --> 00:25:41.960 very much so you know, um, but you know, I'm happy to 368 00:25:42.000 --> 00:25:48.039 say the fans no, yeah, yeah there Uh gosh, I feel like 369 00:25:48.039 --> 00:25:55.359 I'm repeating myself. But at the sneak preview of Christopher Robin, I wasn't 370 00:25:55.400 --> 00:26:00.319 the original Tigger. Uh that is that's a story in itself. That's another 371 00:26:00.319 --> 00:26:06.759 episode, that one. But but they had um And oddly enough, Peggy 372 00:26:06.759 --> 00:26:11.000 and I were Margaret, my wife and I were at another movie theater in 373 00:26:11.119 --> 00:26:14.319 the Thousand Oaks, small just not that one, but they had a test 374 00:26:14.400 --> 00:26:18.039 run. You know, when the movie's like seventy percent done, they'll they'll 375 00:26:18.079 --> 00:26:19.759 invite this one and that one. You know, all these people. They'll 376 00:26:19.759 --> 00:26:22.799 fill up it just to get a the audience reaction, you know. And 377 00:26:23.160 --> 00:26:26.920 the color color is not there, the color correction isn't right, and different 378 00:26:26.920 --> 00:26:30.400 scenes whoops, there's a camera, there's a boom, you know, but 379 00:26:30.519 --> 00:26:37.799 people critique it and everything, and and the guys were saying that because as 380 00:26:37.839 --> 00:26:42.480 I said, I wasn't cast as Tiger originally. Then somehow or along the 381 00:26:42.519 --> 00:26:47.240 line, somebody said, let's that's a good jim back. Can we just 382 00:26:47.279 --> 00:26:51.440 do that? It would kill you to get you so uh they did and 383 00:26:51.640 --> 00:26:56.599 uh apparently when the movie started and Tiger came on, someone stood up and 384 00:26:56.599 --> 00:27:03.440 went it's yeah, and and every and the whole audience went yay, you 385 00:27:03.559 --> 00:27:07.279 know, because I probably knew half of them. So, but that was 386 00:27:07.279 --> 00:27:08.839 a pretty cool story. Chris, that was you, right, Yeah it 387 00:27:10.000 --> 00:27:14.240 was. It was Chris, Chris and Margaret, just the cheese squad. 388 00:27:15.880 --> 00:27:18.599 But but that that made me. That made my day. And this one 389 00:27:18.599 --> 00:27:22.759 comes from Alliott j O'Neill and Aliot wants to know how does your approach to 390 00:27:22.880 --> 00:27:26.680 a role different between a video game and one for a TV show or film, 391 00:27:26.759 --> 00:27:33.400 if at all? Well, money, just kidding, Uh No, 392 00:27:33.519 --> 00:27:37.440 I don't think there is one. There are all the super Bowl for me. 393 00:27:37.559 --> 00:27:41.000 You know, they're all the title fake. I don't, I don't, 394 00:27:41.039 --> 00:27:45.079 I don't. Whatever I have to bring, I bring it all because 395 00:27:45.960 --> 00:27:48.839 you know, it's like I said, before, they live forever. You 396 00:27:48.880 --> 00:27:51.519 know, you don't want to go, oh what wow? D you phone 397 00:27:51.559 --> 00:27:53.680 that end? Didn't he? Jeez? Oh man, Philip? Video games 398 00:27:53.720 --> 00:27:57.079 maybe less so, because you know I might go back and play games from 399 00:27:57.079 --> 00:27:59.920 the nineties. But Elliott, my son, who's four, he's not going 400 00:27:59.960 --> 00:28:02.000 to go back and play the old games in the nineties because I don't look 401 00:28:02.039 --> 00:28:03.079 clear enough. Way, No, I would need to poo. And I 402 00:28:03.079 --> 00:28:06.640 made a series from nineteen eighty seven that still looks as it was then and 403 00:28:06.680 --> 00:28:08.759 it still looks fine to watch now. Right. Yeah, So I feel 404 00:28:08.759 --> 00:28:12.960 like maybe maybe if your video game characters maybe more forgotten than you TV roles, 405 00:28:12.960 --> 00:28:15.519 would you would you think that? Yeah, yeah, well I think 406 00:28:15.559 --> 00:28:21.440 that it's a it's less rewarding for the actor. I can tell you that 407 00:28:21.920 --> 00:28:27.240 I did one I guess it's some kind of game the other last week, 408 00:28:27.279 --> 00:28:32.119 and uh, you know, it's just a lot of repetition. It's there's 409 00:28:32.119 --> 00:28:37.680 no interaction, you know for video games, Um, there's no interaction because 410 00:28:37.720 --> 00:28:41.519 there's no one in there. So you have to, you know, have 411 00:28:41.599 --> 00:28:45.799 somebody read the line before so at least know what you're responding to, and 412 00:28:45.839 --> 00:28:48.839 then you give them two or three lines that would work depending on the inflection 413 00:28:48.880 --> 00:28:51.839 that they might get it. If this one does that, you know, 414 00:28:51.960 --> 00:28:56.039 da da dada. So it's a little it's a little unrewarding. Uh, 415 00:28:56.279 --> 00:29:02.039 you know, video games. I don't do many. I don't do many. 416 00:29:02.319 --> 00:29:04.920 Yeah, how does your approach for things like, for example, video 417 00:29:04.920 --> 00:29:11.599 games? Right, it's a lot of fighting games. How do they direct 418 00:29:11.720 --> 00:29:14.039 that to you? Is it just okay, now you getting punched in the 419 00:29:14.039 --> 00:29:17.359 face? Go, how do you change it up? How do you change 420 00:29:17.359 --> 00:29:18.720 it up? How do you how do you what's the difference between getting punched 421 00:29:18.720 --> 00:29:22.160 in the face and you're kicking a wall? You know? Yeah, well 422 00:29:22.319 --> 00:29:26.160 ones you're getting punched in the face, and the other is yes, but 423 00:29:26.319 --> 00:29:30.079 no, yeah, yeah, but it's just a lot of a lot of 424 00:29:30.119 --> 00:29:32.960 grunting. Yeah, well, you know, and they you can only spell 425 00:29:33.680 --> 00:29:37.559 so many, so many ways, And what will happen is it'll say there'll 426 00:29:37.599 --> 00:29:42.359 be yeah, maybe two and a half seconds, and then it'll be the 427 00:29:42.480 --> 00:29:48.400 description will be on the rate and it'll say slipped and fell down the first 428 00:29:48.440 --> 00:29:52.680 three steps, but regained his balance, excited, riveting stuff, right, 429 00:29:53.359 --> 00:29:56.799 um? Incredibly specifically yeah, yeah, but it is. It is very 430 00:29:56.839 --> 00:30:03.079 specific and u so it kind of gives you. You know, I've done 431 00:30:03.119 --> 00:30:06.839 like whole pages without anybody saying anything on the other side of the screen except 432 00:30:07.559 --> 00:30:10.920 okay, yeah that's good, Yeah, okay, good. Um you know, 433 00:30:11.000 --> 00:30:15.200 so because you know the game and the visuals and all the music and 434 00:30:15.839 --> 00:30:19.480 the sound effects and everything are doing a great deal of the work. So 435 00:30:19.759 --> 00:30:23.119 yeah, you know, just stick to the lines and get them said and 436 00:30:23.200 --> 00:30:26.359 get out of there. While we're talking about video games, Jim, I 437 00:30:26.359 --> 00:30:30.839 mean Mike Joseph would like to know about your experience working on the Kingdom Hearts 438 00:30:30.960 --> 00:30:37.000 video games and asking do you know what the games are about or ever or 439 00:30:37.039 --> 00:30:40.079 have you ever played them? You play Poo and Tiger apparently in those games, 440 00:30:40.240 --> 00:30:41.839 guys, don't ring a bell. Jim is looking very puzzled. No, 441 00:30:42.799 --> 00:30:45.799 no, yeah, you know it's funny. I don't. I'm not 442 00:30:45.880 --> 00:30:49.000 a big gamer, like at all, not difend in the eighties or you 443 00:30:49.160 --> 00:30:52.480 never just never were a video game anything. Pinball, pinball? Yeah, 444 00:30:52.480 --> 00:30:56.680 so I'll be fan of pimball. What does some mean let's get into pimball. 445 00:30:56.680 --> 00:30:59.640 But if some of your favorite pinball machines? Oh gosh, well, 446 00:30:59.640 --> 00:31:03.200 are you to have one down in the garage? And it was Mars Attacks 447 00:31:03.599 --> 00:31:06.119 and it was awesome. It's one of my favorite ones ever. I love 448 00:31:06.160 --> 00:31:12.160 Mars Attacks, remember Chris remembers it was. And pinball I think it's not 449 00:31:12.200 --> 00:31:15.519 a licensing by any means, but it is the most fun to play, 450 00:31:15.559 --> 00:31:18.480 trying to shoot the ball up the middle and hit that spaceship unbelieving. Yeah, 451 00:31:18.799 --> 00:31:22.759 oh yeah yeah, And I would play it for hours. So that's 452 00:31:22.880 --> 00:31:26.599 I've clocked it once. I've finished it once any in my life. Yeah 453 00:31:26.680 --> 00:31:30.680 yeah, I think so too. Is it a movie tie in or is 454 00:31:30.680 --> 00:31:33.920 it? No, it's it's called Attack from Mars. It's not actually tied 455 00:31:33.920 --> 00:31:37.920 into anything, but it's just it is such a brilli The gameplay is so 456 00:31:37.960 --> 00:31:40.400 fun, it's so easy to pick up, it's so simple. Yeah. 457 00:31:40.480 --> 00:31:45.319 Yeah, just amazing, just fantastic. Yeah. Yeah, we're going to 458 00:31:45.359 --> 00:31:48.880 get into an episode about your pinball fascination because I'm a big pinball fan here 459 00:31:48.920 --> 00:31:52.599 myself. Oh yeah, oh yeah, well yeah. I used to work 460 00:31:52.599 --> 00:31:56.359 at the video depot and I would spend my lunch hour down there at the 461 00:31:56.480 --> 00:32:00.680 Pizza Hut because they had pinball machines. They're dying breed now, but you 462 00:32:00.720 --> 00:32:02.920 know when whenever I find one, I'm like, right, it's my wife, 463 00:32:04.039 --> 00:32:06.039 Nicola, you go do something.

Understood, all right, 465 00:32:09.359 --> 00:32:14.400 what's a couple more questions here. So this one's from Ken Tran to 466 00:32:14.480 --> 00:32:16.799 Ken says, what are some of the strangest things that somebody has asked you 467 00:32:16.880 --> 00:32:21.240 to sign for them at a convention or on the street, whatever, anything? 468 00:32:21.319 --> 00:32:23.720 Strangest things besides boobs of course.

And I must have said that ship in 507 00:35:12.639 --> 00:35:17.320 twenty different movies. And I said, oh, okay, well there you 508 00:35:17.400 --> 00:35:22.320 go. Because he and Gene Autry made all these cereals. They were like 509 00:35:22.519 --> 00:35:25.800 half an hour each, and I guess they just would play them before the 510 00:35:27.199 --> 00:35:30.280 big movie. I don't really remember it. I'm not even that old, 511 00:35:30.320 --> 00:35:34.880 but but but I knew he was cool because he was mister Haney on Green 512 00:35:34.920 --> 00:35:39.519 Acres, which was an old also an old TV show.

I think that somebody should 525 00:36:28.159 --> 00:36:30.719 bring me over there to do at least one voiceover, and I'd be so 526 00:36:34.039 --> 00:36:37.159 not even you didn't go to Paris Disneyland once, didn't there at all? 527 00:36:37.519 --> 00:36:39.760 I know? I think, you know, maybe we could. You could 528 00:36:40.119 --> 00:36:46.159 send somebody, you know, somebody a little memo to I think Paris Disneyland 529 00:36:46.159 --> 00:36:50.840 may have closed down.

Apparently thinks longer than usual for coronavirus. I think 536 00:37:16.199 --> 00:37:22.400 it closed for extending longer than the rest of the pokes. That would be 537 00:37:22.480 --> 00:37:23.760 make me more sense about to hear. But I remember that story when we 538 00:37:23.840 --> 00:37:28.000 went with my wife. I might have been Space Mountain, I can't remember, 539 00:37:28.039 --> 00:37:30.239 but I had a camera with me around my neck, and I remember 540 00:37:30.239 --> 00:37:32.559 obviously didn't speak English there and he was saying he was pointing to my camera, 541 00:37:32.599 --> 00:37:36.440 and I said, no, no, I'm gonna I want to hold 542 00:37:36.480 --> 00:37:39.719 onto this. INDI goes if he goes, if keep camera there, break 543 00:37:39.760 --> 00:37:43.039 face, And I was like, oh, you mean better put it away 544 00:37:43.039 --> 00:37:46.960 from my own safety.
