TV Review – Rick and Morty: How Poopy Got His Poop Back  

TL;DR – While not a revolutionary episode, it wisely knew that bringing the gang back was the right thing to do as we step back into this universe. ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Rating: 3.5 out of 5. Disclosure – I paid for the Netflix subscription that viewed this episode. Rick and Morty Review – We have a new season of Rick and Morty, a show I have both loved and become frustrated with in almost equal measures.…

Hot Streets, the Outrageous & Trippy Adult Swim Comedy

Hot Streets, the outrageous & trippy Adult Swim comedy

source: Adult Swim Forget the basic assumptions that you’ve heard. Yes, Justin Roiland of Rick and Morty is doing producing and voice work on this show. No, that doesn’t mean Rick and Morty will be abandoned or prolonged, not to mention Roiland is not the only producer on the show. But has that stopped numerous critics from jumping to conclusions and judging this show based on no actual knowledge…

THE VOICE WILL BE WITH YOU, ALWAYS (#112, OCT 2009)

Scott Chernoff says “Hello there” to James Arnold Taylor as he talks about voicing Obi-Wan Kenobi in Star Wars: The Clone Wars along with hundreds of other characters, and the time he was nearly silenced—forever.

He’s the heroic Green Arrow Batman: The Brave and the Bold, erstwhile friend Harry Osborn on The Spectacular Spider-Man, Ratchet of the hit series of Ratchet & Clank videogames, and the new voice of modern Stone Age family man, Fred Flintstone.

But there’s one achievement that towers over the others for voice actor James Arnold Taylor: He’s finally fulfilled his life-long fantasy of playing a major role in the Star Wars saga, starring as Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi in Star Wars: The Clone Wars.

“I lived and breathed Star Wars as a kid,” Taylor says. “We played all the time—but I was always Han Solo. If somebody told me I was going to be Obi-Wan Kenobi, I would have been like, ‘Wait, I’m the old guy?’”

But despite his tremendous success performing literally hundreds of cartoon characters and videogame voices over the last two decades, Taylor told Star Wars Insider that it nearly all slipped away. “About four years ago,” he reveals, “I lost my voice completely due to toxic mold in our home. When the doctor said, ‘You can’t speak,’ I was like, ‘Uh, that doesn’t work.’”

The incident was a stark reminder of just how precious Taylor’s instrument—his voice—is to him. “I had to start over and change my whole life,” he recalls. “I trained with a gentleman who trains opera singers. I had to learn how to re-use my vocal chords in new and exciting ways.”

EARLY INSPIRATION

Luckily for Taylor—and his fans—the hard work paid off. “I’m stronger now than I’ve ever been. Sometimes, you need something like that to break you down, just to rebuild yourself,” he says.

Now back in the game with three animated series on the air, Taylor is free to pursue the one thing he always loved. “I’ve known since I was four years old that I wanted to do the voices of cartoons,” he says, noting that he drew inspiration from legendary performers like Mel Blanc (who voiced virtually all the Looney Tunes characters), Daws Butler (Yogi Bear), and Don Messick (Scooby Doo and many more). “I was glued to all those guys and memorized their vocal inflections,” he recalls.

“I never had any aspirations to be an on-camera actor—I always wanted to be a voice actor. The truth is I’m the luckiest guy in the world to be able to make my living doing what I always wanted to do.”

STARTING OUT

Taylor started out doing impressions as a stand-up comic and radio disc jockey when he was just 16, moving south to Hollywood from his native Santa Barbara, California, as soon as he got out of school. His first break came in the obscure world of voice doubling, re-recording small bits of dialogue for famous actors who were too busy to come in when a small line needed to be changed. He got a job filling in for Michael J. Fox on the Disney animated feature Atlantis—and soon found himself taking over the lead role entirely for the sequel, Atlantis: Milo’s Return. “I just have a knack for picking up voices,” he shrugs.

Among the stars Taylor has doubled for videogames and feature film looping are Johnny Depp, Billy Bob Thornton—and Ewan McGregor. He started voicing Obi-Wan Kenobi for the first Clone Wars TV micro-series in 2002, then went on to Star Wars videogames and now the new hit TV series, Star Wars: The Clone Wars.

“Originally, it was to be an exact voice match for Ewan McGregor,” Taylor says. “We basically have the same sound, the same range. So I thought that rather than trying to sound like him, since I know I already do kind of sound like him, I’d just do what he did: try to sound like Alec Guinness. So I started thinking of how he would talk, and I tried to ‘young it up,’ and went, ‘OK, so if I was casually speaking as a young Obi-Wan, I might sound like this.’ I didn’t concentrate so much on sounding like Ewan McGregor as much as I concentrated on sounding like Obi-Wan Kenobi, the character we all know. That seemed to work.”

Taylor explains that for him, focusing too much on precisely matching a specific voice can get in the way of a good performance. “You can get hung up on a voice match where you try too hard to sound like the person and it becomes a caricature. It becomes more the nightclub comic’s impersonation. You want to relax in the voice. You really have to understand how that person would act, and you have to be able to act that way. I always have to envision how he would deliver the line. It’s more than an impersonator would do, because you have to understand the character and be able to say anything in that voice.”

That approach sat well with Clone Wars director Dave Filoni and Star Wars creator George Lucas. “After we’d started the series and done the film, Dave and George said, ‘You have the freedom now to take this and make it your own thing,’” Taylor recalls, adding, “Dave’s vision for Obi-Wan in this series is very specific. He’s trying to show Anakin the right way, but he’s also the calm in the storm. I’m always the straight guy. Most of the time, I’m pulling the reins back on Anakin and Ahsoka, so I’m like the older brother. Nothing really gets to him. But at the same time, I know people may think sometimes he’s a little too reserved, so I’m trying to give him some excitement. Every once in a while, I torture myself and read the message boards, and some people do think he’s got to lighten up. But I just think, ‘Give him time.’ There’s something that happened in a second season episode we did recently, and I can’t really get into it, but it made me think, ‘Oh, we get to see different facets of Obi-Wan in this.’ I’m playing a side of Obi-Wan that nobody’s really seen before.”

UP CLOSE AND PERSONAL

Taylor thinks that the epic scope of Star Wars: The Clone Wars is allowing a far more personal glimpse of Kenobi than fans have ever seen. “He’s such an iconic figure,” he says, “but you don’t know anything about his personal life. We have many episodes, so now the writers have been exploring those areas. How does he act when he’s gotten up on the wrong side of the bed and he’s having a bad day? What’s his day-to-day relationship with Anakin? It’s been fun to work with everybody and create those parts of his life and his characteristics. I try to put a little of the reserved old Jedi living alone in this deserted part of a desert planet, and the young one who was in the world and so much a part of everything.”

At the same time, Taylor has gotten to give voice to a host of other Star Wars characters, from fan favorite Plo Koon (“Dave said, ‘Think Gandalf,’”— he recalls) to espionage droid 4A-7 (“A whiny, high-pitched guy”) and the medical droid from The Clone Wars movie (“That’s me doing kind of a Jeff Goldblum type voice”).

“That’s another great part about being a voice actor,” he says. “You get to be so many different characters all the time.”

A REWARDING ROLE

All those characters add up to more reasons Taylor is grateful to have re-gained his voice in time to continue his work in the Star Wars universe. “I’m a geek when it comes to this stuff,” he said. “I’m a fan as much as anybody else, so I get into the story, and to me, Star Wars: The Clone Wars is as good as Lost or any other great show. I can’t wait to see the next season, just like everybody else.”

Thinking back on his journey, Taylor adds, “It’s so rewarding. I get so much fan mail from people all over the world, and I’m not trying to sound corny but it moves me—because I’ve always been a fan, and I’ve sent fan letters to people I respect and gotten autographs before, too. So when I get letters from people about how they’re sharing Star Wars with their kids, and they’re thanking me for helping them see this whole universe in a different way, I kind of trip out on it. Daily, I go, ‘Wow, I’m involved in this world, and not just on the sidelines—I’m really involved in the Star Wars universe.’ It’s a great honor.”

Is J.K. Simmons in this? Yes. He drops out for a big chunk in the middle, but he is in it.

Who does he portray? As far as I can tell, he continues to just portray anthropomorphic turtle and studio executive Lenny Turtletaub.

What does he do? He spends most of the season telling other people what to do (which makes sense, since he’s a movie executive and this season centres around the production of a movie).

How bald is he? He continues to deny the reality that turtles cannot grow full heads of hair and wear a hairpiece. Kinda sad, really.

Is anybody else in this? Oh, definitely. There are even some animals in it (although how they got the animals to speak English I don’t understand).

Is it worth seeing if I’m not a J.K. Simmons completist? Oh, absolutely. It always amazes me how deftly this show navigates between deft social satire, serious deconstruction of personal flaws, and animal puns.

MORE THAN A HOBBIE (#111, SEPT 2009)

Corey Burton voices some of the meanest bad guys in Star Wars: The Clone Wars, but did you know he started doing Star Wars voices in the 1970s? He spoke to Star Wars Insider about his roles as Luke on a 1977 record, a rebel in The Empire Strikes Back, and a trio of tough guys in Star Wars: The Clone Wars! Words: Scott Chernoff

Corey Burton’s voice has been heard in hundreds of cartoons, commercials, and videogames, but when Star Wars Insider caught up with him recently, we had to take exception when he humbly dismissed himself as, “Just an old-time funny voice guy.” To fans of Star Wars, Burton is much more than that.

It’s not just because Burton provides the voice of the villainous Count Dooku in the animated Star Wars: The Clone Wars TV series; that alone would be impressive enough. And it’s also not simply because he has created the voices for two more of The Clone Wars’ most distinctive bad guys—Cad Bane and Ziro the Hutt—along with a number of minor characters along the way.

No, it’s because Burton is the only member of the new crop of Clone Wars voice talent besides Anthony Daniels whose voice was featured in one of the original Star Wars films. More than two decades before Burton took over the Count Dooku character for Star Wars videogames and animation, he had already lent his presence to The Empire Strikes Back as the voice of Hobbie, the brave snowspeeder pilot who backs up Luke Skywalker during the Battle of Hoth. Before that, while still in his teens, he contributed some brief dialogue as Luke Skywalker for a Star Wars Read-Along Book and record/tape project from Watt Disney Co.’s Buena Vista Records.

EARLY DAYS

“I pursued the craft since I was a little kid,” Burton says of his days growing up in the suburbs of Los Angeles. “My dad used to get big laughs imitating friends and family, and I thought, ‘Gee, that’s what I’d like to do.’ My favorite toy as kid was my tape recorder: I used to make up little productions and do send-ups of TV shows. I’ve always had an ear for voices and a fascination with recording gear. I discovered as a teenager that there were people who made a living at this, and I set out to meet them and observe what they do.”

Burton enrolled in a voice-acting class led by the legendary Daws Butler, most famous as the voice of Yogi Bear, Chilly Willy, Popeye’s pal Wimpy, and dozens more classic characters. Butler saw potential in young Burton, and helped him find work in radio dramas and an educational filmstrip produced by Walt Disney Studios—a job that turned out to be a key turning point in Burton’s burgeoning career.

“Disney happened to have this project coming up,” Burton recalls, “to re-record the library of Disney Storyteller records based on their films.” He got the job and soon ended up doing dozens of Read-Along books, voicing characters for kids to listen to while they read a picture book. “We would re-create the voices from the Disney movies like Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty,” he said. “I worked for years doing those Storyteller records as a kid. I was still in Daws’ workshop at the time.”

Besides the Disney work, Burton soon found himself doing radio commercials and doubling actors’ voices for a behind-the-scenes process called “looping,” where voice actors are called in to provide bits of dialogue for feature films when the sound of the original recordings need to be touched up or the actors aren’t available; often, the looped lines are not for major characters but instead for incidental characters who just have one or two lines. Between Disney, radio, and looping for movies such as E.T. The Extra Terrestrial, he was working all the time.

RECORDING THE REBELS!

Not bad for a teenager—and it was about to get better. Burton was tapped to provide the voice of Luke Skywalker for a special 1979 Disney Read-Along of Star Wars. “It was pretty easy for me at that time to sound like Mark Hamill,” Burton said. “I did Luke, and I think I even did Han Solo and Obi-Wan” for the project, which was released as both a 7-inch 33 1/3 RPM record and a cassette.

A couple of years later, the young actor got the chance to meet the real Luke, actor Mark Hamill, when the two showed up for a looping session for The Empire Strikes Back. “They needed a few bit parts filled in,” Burton says, “because they shot the film mostly in London, so most of the supporting characters had British accents. I was called in to do a few lines for the character of Hobbie, and only one made it into the finished film. It was in the dogfight scene in the snow, and at one point one of the Rebels gets hit and Luke says, ‘Hobbie!’ and I say, ‘I’ve been hit!’ That went into the film, and I made it into a classic.”

Hamill, who was re-recording some of Luke’s dialogue, discovered that Burton had done Luke’s voice for the Star Wars Read-Along, and had such a positive response that it took Burton by surprise. “Mark said, ‘Oh boy, I would have loved to have done that myself, but I’ve heard that and it sounds just like me—Wow!” Burton remembers. “He even had me sign his copy of the record as ‘Luke 2.” Hamill, of course, went on to become one of Hollywood’s top voice-over talents in his own right.

ROGUES GALLERY

Burton also got to expand his portfolio to include two more villains new to Star Wars: The Clone Wars and quite different from both Dooku and each other: Cad Bane and Ziro the Hutt. “It’s a lot more interesting and compelling to play an evil character than a heroic one,” Burton says. “I never know what to do with hero parts, and I’ve always been lucky to have eerie undertones to my vocal structure that make it easy to inject an air of mystery and darkness into a role. I take advantage of those parts of my voice. The more quiet and subtle, the more powerful it comes across.”

That’s certainly true of the Star Wars universe’s newest—and some might say most nefarious—bounty hunter. “I have great affection for Cad Bane.” Burton says. “He’s really the roughest, toughest, most lawless bad guy I’ve ever done. Even though it’s not overtly ‘hammy,’ it’s a very hammy performance in a subtle way. I’m keeping him very creepy; it’s much more menacing to be quiet and calm than to be screaming, ‘I’m gonna kill you.’ I’ve never done a role quite like that— usually it would be a more overtly comedic role than this icy, fearsome character. He’s someone you want to avoid.”

It’s a sharp contrast from Ziro, of whom Corey says, “He’s definitely comic relief. He is a buffoon. I thought, ‘Boy, this could really fall flat on its face, because it’s so over-the-top and overtly ridiculous, yet when the writing is good and the character is solid, it’s believable.”

Burton based Ziro’s voice on the iconic author Truman Capote, whom Phillip Seymour Hoffman won an Oscar for portraying. “That was one of the suggestions from George,” Burton says, “and at first I thought, ‘How’s that going to work?’ But then I realized this was the man who wrote In Cold Blood. He had quite a sense of power, tragedy, danger, and real creepiness.”

Whether he’s playing a buffoonish Hutt, a merciless bounty hunter, an evil Sith, or a brave fighter for the Rebellion, Corey Burton couldn’t be happier to be back in the Star Wars universe.

“It’s such a privilege to be involved in this show,” Burton enthuses. “It’s one of the few things I’ve done that I can proudly show to people of all ages, and they ask to see more. It’s a remarkable production, and I don’t know that there has ever been anything quite like it as a television series. I’ve been blown away with how beautifully it’s all played out. It reaches so many people, and is inspirational. I really lucked out and became part of something that is truly exceptional.”

SOUNDING OUT THE SITH

Flash forward some 20 years, and Burton—now firmly established as voice actor with hundreds of credits (Transformers, G.I. Joe, Batman: The Brave and The Bold, to name just a few) and decades of experience—was cast as Chrristopher Lee’s voice double for Count Dooku in Star Wars videogames. That led to playing Dooku in the original Cartoon Network Clone Wars micro series, and he’s had a lock on the role ever since.

“Initially, it was a matter of trying to replicate what Christopher Lee would most likely do,” Corey says, “but the caliber of his acting, Shakespearean training and all that old-world, old-school elegance— you don’t want to do a half-hearted stab at that. It’s got to sound genuine, no matter how outlandish the situation might be. You have to play it with a feature film intent and intensity. You have to see it all as real and play it from the heart.”

Burton soon learned that there was more to playing Count Dooku than just mimicking Christopher Lee. “The trick is to learn the craft and do it well,” he confides, “not just be able to change your voice, but to perform the essence, the soul of the character in a way that’s compelling and entertaining.

“It’s not about the voice but the character,” Burton continues. “It’s in generating a multi-layered character with sincerity and believability that makes the big difference. Just matching the sound, no matter how on target it may be, is not going to be as convincing as somebody who maybe isn’t exact in tone and voice quality but really embodies the essence of the character.”

With the latest incarnation of The Clone Wars, Burton has begun to make the role of Count Dooku more his own than ever before. “Since this was a new form of digital animation, George Lucas wanted us to begin with the recreation of the onscreen performer [from the live-action movies], but take it from there in any direction that we voice actors and director Dave Filoni felt more fully filled out the characterization,” he says. “The focus and the stories are more involved and detailed, so it opens up a wider range of dramatic performance possibilities.

“I had to take what Christopher Lee had done in the films and expand upon it from there, being very eloquent yet sinister, even more regal, and focusing more on the cat-and-mouse game that Dooku plays with the Jedi. He toys with those he feels are inferior intellects, and he certainly has quite the ego. He believes he can’t be defeated by these puny Jedi, but he’s also a politician, so he must adhere to proper etiquette. Even when he’s telling somebody he’s going to take them apart limb by limb, it’s always done with the utmost of good manners and polite discourse.”

Mike Francesa Won’t Be ‘Back After This’

Francesa’s replacement on WFAN in the afternoons is a trio: the former Jets linebacker Bart Scott, Sports Illustrated’s digital video anchor Maggie Gray, and Chris Carlin, who began as a producer for “Mike & the Mad Dog.” Mark Chernoff, the station’s longtime vice president for programming, said he expected their varied backgrounds and personalities would bring in new listeners.
