Am I the last Futurama fan to realize this? I just realized it last night. Whoah!
Mr Kotter taught him better than that.
???
To explain: Phil LaMarr played Marvin in* Pulp Fiction*, and is also the voice of Hermes in Futurama.
Marvin should have used limbo to avoid the bullet.
We’ve all learned a valuable lesson about how good Jimmy’s coffee is . . . while I’ll slowly dying because Vincent shot my head off!!!
Wow, I had no idea.
Phil Lamarr is Marvin? I had no idea either.
Phil LaMarr? I thought Hermes was some kind of outer-space potato man.
Did you see a sign in my driveway that said “Outer-Space Potato Man Storage”? No. You know why? Because storing Outer-Space Potato Men is not my fucking business!!!
He is the go-to voice actor for TV and video games in the last few years if the character is black. An exception is Vamp in the Metal Gear Solids.
I’ve known this since the series started in 1999.
(Psst…Peg Bundy is Leela.)
Seems a little pointless to cast voice actors by race. The guy who voices Cleveland Brown (Family Guy, The Cleveland Show) looks like this.
Yup. And here’s the actor who played the Joker in the animated series The Batman, Kevin Michael Richardson.
Silly, yes. But it’s become more common than not to have the voice actor be the same race as the character.
Applause.
But… what do they do with The Simpsons? Give all the voice actors jaundice?
Who according to Maurice LaMarche is the second most prominent (and funniest) William Shatner impressionist, and does the best William Shatner running impression you’ve ever seen.
And I definitely knew about the OP. I love mixing actors’ roles in my mind. Did you know Bilbo Baggins killed the crew of the Nostromo?
I thought Napoleon did that.
It can be annoying sometimes, though.
Ray Wise, who (wonderfully, I might add) played the Devil on the late lamented Reaper, appeared as a corrupt senator on The Good Guys a couple weeks ago. His character was getting roughed up by some thugs, and I couldn’t help thinking, “Boy are they going to regret that!” I had to remind myself that the character was just a regular mortal guy.
Sweet three-toed sloth of ice planet Hoth!
