WEBVTT

00:00:07.950 --> 00:00:32.549
So much beats. The Q and Q. Oh, sorry. Oh, that

00:00:32.549 --> 00:00:35.770
was the Q and A. The Q and Q podcast. Good guy.

00:00:35.909 --> 00:00:38.929
He got squares with me today, standing in, pinch

00:00:38.929 --> 00:00:41.009
hitting for the ugly looking thing that's at

00:00:41.009 --> 00:00:42.729
home, probably crying in the mud somewhere because

00:00:42.729 --> 00:00:44.869
he's flooded in. But oh, well, it is what it

00:00:44.869 --> 00:00:46.590
is. Lucky for me, he's tall enough to breathe

00:00:46.590 --> 00:00:49.310
a bowl of water. But anyways, guys, I know you

00:00:49.310 --> 00:00:53.750
guys have been itching for today's episode. Geez,

00:00:54.049 --> 00:00:56.829
I'm trying to think of the best way to introduce

00:00:56.829 --> 00:00:59.140
this gentleman. I'm excited. I'm excited. Because

00:00:59.140 --> 00:01:01.320
this is part of my childhood. It is part of his

00:01:01.320 --> 00:01:03.539
childhood. Part of my high school years, man.

00:01:03.539 --> 00:01:07.620
But it was awesome when this great animation

00:01:07.620 --> 00:01:13.000
came out of the X -Men. The man of what we talked

00:01:13.000 --> 00:01:16.920
to him beforehand, I said, you are the man of

00:01:16.920 --> 00:01:18.900
a thousand voices. Well, I had to change that.

00:01:19.140 --> 00:01:21.319
I'm the man of a hundred thousand voices now.

00:01:21.480 --> 00:01:24.599
So I'm like, holy moly. And trust me, guys, when

00:01:24.599 --> 00:01:27.400
I say a hundred thousand voices, it is the truth.

00:01:27.459 --> 00:01:31.060
Ladies and gentlemen, Please help us welcome

00:01:31.060 --> 00:01:36.299
Mr. Tony Daniels. Oh, no, the curtain. Hang on.

00:01:36.480 --> 00:01:42.180
Oh, there it is. I had a curtain on my camera.

00:01:42.780 --> 00:01:45.299
It's actually it's just a little thing for cleaning

00:01:45.299 --> 00:01:47.819
glasses. I was cleaning off the camera. That

00:01:47.819 --> 00:01:49.200
was awesome. That was awesome. That was awesome,

00:01:49.200 --> 00:01:53.739
man. Hey, fellas. How are you? Give us a scare

00:01:53.739 --> 00:01:57.569
for a minute. But I think we're good. I was trying

00:01:57.569 --> 00:02:02.469
to, I was trying to quiz you. Oh, that's a good

00:02:02.469 --> 00:02:05.810
one. That's a good one. Oh, my guys. Mr. Tony

00:02:05.810 --> 00:02:08.789
Daniels on the Chunu podcast. First of all, I

00:02:08.789 --> 00:02:11.629
want to say thank you for coming on with us here.

00:02:12.030 --> 00:02:16.509
Or you can blame Becky for that one. A big thank

00:02:16.509 --> 00:02:20.729
you to Ms. Becky for reaching out to us. Thank

00:02:20.729 --> 00:02:23.349
you, Becky, if you're watching. Thank you. You

00:02:23.349 --> 00:02:26.530
made a young man's dream come true. Yes, my childhood

00:02:26.530 --> 00:02:32.189
dream come true. Yes. By the way, they weren't

00:02:32.189 --> 00:02:34.569
getting sized just in case the people. No, no,

00:02:34.569 --> 00:02:38.009
no. Yes, we are. Yeah, we are. Yes, we are. Yo,

00:02:38.169 --> 00:02:42.810
gang signing. I watched too many movies as a

00:02:42.810 --> 00:02:45.349
kid, man. That's good. That's good. That's good.

00:02:45.830 --> 00:02:47.990
So never mind. I used to work with this old man

00:02:47.990 --> 00:02:51.409
and he comes in and he was like, this was back

00:02:51.409 --> 00:02:53.490
in Canada and he's an old, old guy. And he's

00:02:53.490 --> 00:02:56.129
like, he goes, Hey, I was watching that movie

00:02:56.129 --> 00:03:01.150
Colored last night. I go, Oh, What? I go, what

00:03:01.150 --> 00:03:04.949
are you talking about? Colors. I go, I said colors.

00:03:05.110 --> 00:03:07.729
He goes, no, no, I saw it. I know what it was

00:03:07.729 --> 00:03:09.949
about. I go, what was it about Ralphie? He goes

00:03:09.949 --> 00:03:12.969
colored people. I go, what are you an idiot?

00:03:16.409 --> 00:03:20.069
I was like, you're a moron, Ralphie. Ladies and

00:03:20.069 --> 00:03:23.009
gentlemen, the point we like to start our podcast

00:03:23.009 --> 00:03:26.889
off is getting to know Mr. Tony Daniels. Mr.

00:03:27.030 --> 00:03:28.909
Daniels, tell us, Tark, take us from the beginning,

00:03:29.009 --> 00:03:30.789
where you're from, where you grew up, and how

00:03:30.789 --> 00:03:33.750
you got inspired to be a voice actor. Take it

00:03:33.750 --> 00:03:39.490
away. Well, I was out of sync one time. We'll

00:03:39.490 --> 00:03:41.009
talk about that one later. That got me going.

00:03:41.189 --> 00:03:47.009
I was born in Toronto. My parents are from, well,

00:03:47.050 --> 00:03:49.689
my father was born in Malta, but he's a real

00:03:49.689 --> 00:03:53.569
mix of... of all kinds of backgrounds, including

00:03:53.569 --> 00:03:57.490
black and Asian. And he kind of like when we

00:03:57.490 --> 00:03:59.810
did our 23 and me, we're like, oh, wow, this

00:03:59.810 --> 00:04:02.250
is really cool. My mother was born in Scotland,

00:04:02.250 --> 00:04:03.810
but she's actually Irish. And there's a bunch

00:04:03.810 --> 00:04:05.650
of Spanish and all kinds of stuff. So it's a

00:04:05.650 --> 00:04:08.150
real mix. And that's probably the reason I can

00:04:08.150 --> 00:04:10.569
probably do every single accent you can think

00:04:10.569 --> 00:04:15.409
of pretty well. You name one, I'll get it down.

00:04:18.490 --> 00:04:21.129
Yeah, don't ask me to do South African. I don't

00:04:21.129 --> 00:04:25.709
feel like it right now. But yeah, no, every time.

00:04:26.649 --> 00:04:28.889
It was great. So, you know, we have such a mixed

00:04:28.889 --> 00:04:32.829
family and it's great because you can rely on

00:04:32.829 --> 00:04:35.810
or reach into that stuff to bring into certain

00:04:35.810 --> 00:04:37.889
characters and stuff. And it's great. Right.

00:04:38.240 --> 00:04:40.560
I'm a little afraid of those cherries at the

00:04:40.560 --> 00:04:41.939
top of the thing. It's scaring the hell out of

00:04:41.939 --> 00:04:49.899
me because he's afraid of cherries. So, yeah,

00:04:49.899 --> 00:04:53.439
yeah. So then so I've got family in Michigan.

00:04:53.500 --> 00:04:54.920
I've got family around the world, but I have

00:04:54.920 --> 00:04:57.339
a lot of family in Michigan. So I've spent a

00:04:57.339 --> 00:05:00.680
lot of time in Michigan and that was really cool,

00:05:00.680 --> 00:05:03.240
you know, and in my one of my best friends, if

00:05:03.240 --> 00:05:05.360
not one of the best friends lives in Buffalo,

00:05:05.439 --> 00:05:09.199
my my actual best buddy. uh passed a year and

00:05:09.199 --> 00:05:12.579
a half ago okay he was tony pastor jr the director

00:05:12.579 --> 00:05:16.040
on spider -man you know the animated and uh voice

00:05:16.040 --> 00:05:18.000
director and i worked with him with stan that's

00:05:18.000 --> 00:05:22.810
how i got to know stan I love your Stanley impression.

00:05:23.069 --> 00:05:27.509
Yes. It's awesome. It's wonderful. But, um, Stan,

00:05:28.490 --> 00:05:30.350
Tony and I working with Stan, we, I went down

00:05:30.350 --> 00:05:33.149
to LA to stay for awhile and, uh, Stan wouldn't

00:05:33.149 --> 00:05:35.449
call me Tony because he already had a Tony, Tony

00:05:35.449 --> 00:05:38.089
pastor. So he called me Krog. You're going to

00:05:38.089 --> 00:05:40.959
be Krog. I go, oh, cool, because Krog was one

00:05:40.959 --> 00:05:42.740
of the characters that he created that I did.

00:05:43.000 --> 00:05:45.759
And it was a big blue monster rock thing. And

00:05:45.759 --> 00:05:51.060
Tony and I would stick marbles in my. And then

00:05:51.060 --> 00:05:54.180
Stan freaked out over it was really cool. Yeah.

00:05:54.339 --> 00:05:57.100
So, you know, so anyway, so my best buddy, Michael,

00:05:57.120 --> 00:05:59.240
lives in Buffalo. And so I spent a lot of time

00:05:59.240 --> 00:06:02.500
in Buffalo working radio. I got my start as I

00:06:02.500 --> 00:06:07.339
was started as a musician. OK, nice. I saw that.

00:06:07.339 --> 00:06:09.199
I see that in the background. Yeah. Yeah, you

00:06:09.199 --> 00:06:11.879
see that white one there? That was a gift from

00:06:11.879 --> 00:06:15.379
my buddy Rick Emmett. Remember Triumph? Lay it

00:06:15.379 --> 00:06:20.180
on the line. Remember them? Oh yeah, you'll look

00:06:20.180 --> 00:06:21.899
them up at the show and go, oh damn, I know who

00:06:21.899 --> 00:06:24.800
they are. And I've got tons of guitars. So I

00:06:24.800 --> 00:06:26.540
started playing music when I was a kid, you know,

00:06:26.720 --> 00:06:29.839
13, 14 professionally. And it's really funny

00:06:29.839 --> 00:06:33.879
because Caldado played Wolverine. When I was

00:06:33.879 --> 00:06:36.319
16, I had just got my license and I was working

00:06:36.319 --> 00:06:39.439
at this cable station. I had a TV show called,

00:06:39.819 --> 00:06:44.120
first it was called Rap Line. And then because

00:06:44.120 --> 00:06:45.920
I had to adopt it from another friend of mine

00:06:45.920 --> 00:06:47.939
who was doing the show originally, it was a DJ

00:06:47.939 --> 00:06:50.819
show. Basically we played music, but it was on

00:06:50.819 --> 00:06:56.019
stop frame. You could only see. every other frame.

00:06:56.639 --> 00:06:58.459
And then eventually they got the rules they were

00:06:58.459 --> 00:07:00.879
allowed to show full camera, you know, public

00:07:00.879 --> 00:07:03.779
access, access. And then, yeah, I went to see

00:07:03.779 --> 00:07:07.060
a friend of mine's father, he ran epic records.

00:07:07.579 --> 00:07:10.339
And he's like, yeah, and he's like, I got these

00:07:10.339 --> 00:07:12.680
things called videos. He sounded like Stan, actually.

00:07:12.699 --> 00:07:15.139
But he goes, I got these things called videos.

00:07:15.980 --> 00:07:18.139
There's only nine voices in the world, just so

00:07:18.139 --> 00:07:21.139
you know, it's like, basically, you know, if

00:07:21.139 --> 00:07:23.759
you do Bugs Bunny, right, then you slow them

00:07:23.759 --> 00:07:26.420
down and make them a little deeper. You got Johnny

00:07:26.420 --> 00:07:30.180
Carson. Oh, yeah. So, you know, there's only

00:07:30.180 --> 00:07:34.209
really nine voices. But. Yeah, he gave me these

00:07:34.209 --> 00:07:36.250
videos. Nice. I was the first guy but long before

00:07:36.250 --> 00:07:39.290
there's a MTV or much music or any of those shows

00:07:39.290 --> 00:07:43.189
or TV stations, I was able to play rock videos

00:07:43.189 --> 00:07:46.009
on on television. So that's where I got my start

00:07:46.009 --> 00:07:48.949
and then but for the summers, I was making four

00:07:48.949 --> 00:07:51.649
bucks an hour. But for the summer, the boss goes,

00:07:51.889 --> 00:07:53.470
Hey, you want to make 12 bucks an hour? And that

00:07:53.470 --> 00:07:56.699
was a lot of money in the 70s. Hell yeah. Right?

00:07:56.699 --> 00:07:59.399
It's a lot of money for some people now. So I'm

00:07:59.399 --> 00:08:01.819
like, okay, I'll do it. I had special installations.

00:08:01.819 --> 00:08:04.899
And one of the first guys I ever installed was

00:08:04.899 --> 00:08:08.300
Cal Dodd, who played Wolverine. There you go.

00:08:08.459 --> 00:08:11.879
Yeah, yeah. He was famous for a series at the

00:08:11.879 --> 00:08:14.120
time called Circus, where he was a host and a

00:08:14.120 --> 00:08:15.860
great singer, by the way. And he would get out

00:08:15.860 --> 00:08:19.060
there and sing and it was really cool. That's

00:08:19.060 --> 00:08:20.779
awesome, man. I'm having tea because I was screaming

00:08:20.779 --> 00:08:24.750
and singing all weekend. I was with my last Tuesday,

00:08:24.810 --> 00:08:26.889
we played a gig at 11th Street Bar in New York.

00:08:26.990 --> 00:08:30.449
And then we played on the weekend of 420. Get

00:08:30.449 --> 00:08:32.269
together. Don't you guys think about it? Anyway,

00:08:32.409 --> 00:08:34.870
we were at this 420 thing yesterday, Saturday.

00:08:35.950 --> 00:08:41.629
Yeah, that was in New Jersey. And then yesterday,

00:08:41.629 --> 00:08:43.590
we were playing in New Hope, Pennsylvania. So

00:08:43.590 --> 00:08:45.690
I've been singing and playing all week and then

00:08:45.690 --> 00:08:47.309
working on the other stuff, too. I hear you.

00:08:47.450 --> 00:08:50.090
So it's been crazy. So my throat's a little fried.

00:08:50.509 --> 00:08:52.529
Anyway, so it's cool. But yeah, and that's how

00:08:52.529 --> 00:08:54.590
I started, you know, just music and then music

00:08:54.590 --> 00:08:58.250
gravitated towards radio. And when I was in radio,

00:08:58.549 --> 00:09:03.889
I was like 1413. I can't remember. Wolfman Jack

00:09:03.889 --> 00:09:07.450
used to do this live show, right? And Wolfman

00:09:07.450 --> 00:09:09.649
Jack was working at LA, but he'd come to Chicago,

00:09:09.830 --> 00:09:12.240
Toronto, New York, and he'd do every so often

00:09:12.240 --> 00:09:14.179
he'd come and do the show from there. He came

00:09:14.179 --> 00:09:16.179
to Toronto and I was working as an intern at

00:09:16.179 --> 00:09:20.700
the station and there was a guy there producing

00:09:20.700 --> 00:09:23.100
the show and he's like they brought Wolfman and

00:09:23.100 --> 00:09:24.899
he was freaking hammered. He actually looks like

00:09:24.899 --> 00:09:28.539
Q but anyway he was hammered. I believe it. I

00:09:28.539 --> 00:09:31.240
believe it. Yeah. He was hammered and they go,

00:09:31.299 --> 00:09:32.240
what are we going to do? What are you going to

00:09:32.240 --> 00:09:34.399
do? So they go, let's get coffee into them. And

00:09:34.399 --> 00:09:36.720
so they, they were pouring coffee into them and

00:09:36.720 --> 00:09:38.580
then they're going, man, we got to get, we, we,

00:09:38.600 --> 00:09:40.679
maybe we'll play some old stops. And I go, well,

00:09:40.679 --> 00:09:42.659
I can do his voice. And they were like, what?

00:09:43.620 --> 00:09:47.340
Awesome. Yeah. Oh my gosh. So, yeah. So for three

00:09:47.340 --> 00:09:49.600
stops, that's, I got to go coming up after the

00:09:49.600 --> 00:09:51.220
break, we're going to be playing some more, you

00:09:51.220 --> 00:09:53.519
know, whatever it was. And he'd tell you what

00:09:53.519 --> 00:09:57.120
to say. And I did it. And so. In comes Wolfman,

00:09:57.279 --> 00:10:00.500
right? And he sits down and I go to leave and

00:10:00.500 --> 00:10:02.740
he goes, where are you going? I go, well, you're

00:10:02.740 --> 00:10:05.539
here. And he goes, no, no, you're my boy right

00:10:05.539 --> 00:10:08.759
now. You sit down. So I sat there and I'm in

00:10:08.759 --> 00:10:11.779
awe. Here's freaking Wolfman Jack. Fast forward

00:10:11.779 --> 00:10:15.440
like 25, 30 years more, 40 years. Stop it guys.

00:10:15.820 --> 00:10:18.679
Anyway, so I'm working on a show called Friends

00:10:18.679 --> 00:10:21.559
and Heroes and our producer was a gentleman named

00:10:21.559 --> 00:10:24.159
Gary Kurtz who happened to produce a couple of

00:10:24.159 --> 00:10:28.590
little movies like Star Wars Empire Strikes Back

00:10:28.590 --> 00:10:35.210
and a little movie called American Graffiti and

00:10:35.210 --> 00:10:38.169

I thought that was really cool, yeah. But we

00:10:52.899 --> 00:10:55.159
lost him. A lot of people died in the last few

00:10:55.159 --> 00:10:59.059
years, Jesus. Yes, yes, quite a few. I mean,

00:10:59.360 --> 00:11:02.320
even great animators themselves passed away,

00:11:02.419 --> 00:11:07.740
man. It was really heartbreaking when we got

00:11:07.740 --> 00:11:10.679
the news of a lot of these top animators that

00:11:10.679 --> 00:11:13.759
passed away, you know? Yeah, my friend Tom McLaughlin

00:11:13.759 --> 00:11:17.350

Hanna Barbera guy and just so many cool people.

00:11:21.590 --> 00:11:23.950
But you know, we're getting older and as you

00:11:23.950 --> 00:11:28.250
get older, you know, we live in a time where

00:11:28.250 --> 00:11:31.149
social media and connections are a lot more prevalent

00:11:31.149 --> 00:11:33.269
than when I was a kid. So I said to my parents,

00:11:33.409 --> 00:11:34.610
you know, when I get older, I'm going to see

00:11:34.610 --> 00:11:38.049

Frakes was such a prick on the set. I'm at the

00:13:05.299 --> 00:13:07.460
car. I want to call Mr. Tony Daniels again. And

00:13:07.460 --> 00:13:11.820
it's just an audio today on the podcast. Hi,

00:13:12.240 --> 00:13:15.259
this is Patrick Stewart. Oh, it's not available.

00:13:15.600 --> 00:13:22.720
Oh, give me a call back. Oh, my God. I mean.

00:13:23.299 --> 00:13:26.759
So many years doing the voice acting. I mean,

00:13:26.940 --> 00:13:29.200
can you share a memorable experience behind the

00:13:29.200 --> 00:13:31.980
scenes, the stories from your time as a voice

00:13:31.980 --> 00:13:33.580
actor? I mean, something that was memorable to

00:13:33.580 --> 00:13:36.080
you? Oh boy, there's so many, actually. One of

00:13:36.080 --> 00:13:38.480
my favorite things was this was actually an on

00:13:38.480 --> 00:13:40.940
-camera gig. I was playing big fat Elvis in Eerie.

00:13:41.100 --> 00:13:44.610
Look. I lost it. I was playing Big Fat Elvis

00:13:44.610 --> 00:13:46.450
and Erie in the end of the other dimension. I

00:13:46.450 --> 00:13:49.610
don't remember that show. Yeah. So I gained like

00:13:49.610 --> 00:13:51.190
90 pounds. I'm not kidding you. Because when

00:13:51.190 --> 00:13:53.049
I showed up the first day, they're like, you

00:13:53.049 --> 00:13:55.210
don't fit in the costume anymore. Because I'd

00:13:55.210 --> 00:13:56.710
lost weight for this other part. And they're

00:13:56.710 --> 00:13:58.750
going right. And they go, we're shooting Monday.

00:13:58.830 --> 00:14:01.070
And I go, I'll gain some weight back by Monday.

00:14:01.090 --> 00:14:05.049
I gained 22 pounds on a weekend. Holy moly. Dude,

00:14:05.049 --> 00:14:10.409
it's easy. Like 12 tacos a day. No, I was like

00:14:10.409 --> 00:14:12.190
carbo loading because you know, runners can gain

00:14:12.190 --> 00:14:13.929
a lot of weight and then they'll burn it off

00:14:13.929 --> 00:14:16.710
during a race. Right. Look, there's Q sucking

00:14:16.710 --> 00:14:21.090
back on like a giant gulp thing. I don't want

00:14:21.090 --> 00:14:22.590
to show where it's from because we ain't sponsored

00:14:22.590 --> 00:14:24.710
by them. No, no, no, no, no. Don't give them

00:14:24.710 --> 00:14:29.350
the freebies. It's covering that up. It's a Texas

00:14:29.350 --> 00:14:36.529
thing, man. It's a Texas thing. So yeah. So yeah,

00:14:36.529 --> 00:14:38.710
you know, I just I guess I have too much fun.

00:14:38.809 --> 00:14:41.309
I should be careful. And then you guys have heard

00:14:41.309 --> 00:14:42.929

00:15:55.240 --> 00:15:57.500

00:15:57.500 --> 00:16:00.720
in Comic Con this weekend. And also a big shout

00:16:00.720 --> 00:16:02.860

00:16:02.860 --> 00:16:05.759

00:16:05.759 --> 00:16:08.639

00:16:08.639 --> 00:16:11.559
should. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Vanessa come to, uh,

00:16:11.559 --> 00:16:14.200
come to Lubbock. I'm sorry about, uh, McAllen.

00:16:14.299 --> 00:16:16.580
I really wanted to come, but I was telling the

00:16:16.580 --> 00:16:19.700
gents I got, uh, I have a network gig right now

00:16:19.700 --> 00:16:21.860
and it's been a long time and it's a contract.

00:16:22.279 --> 00:16:25.720
So I can't fly during the day. And the only time

00:16:25.720 --> 00:16:28.929
from New York to get to McAllen is like, you

00:16:28.929 --> 00:16:30.769
know, like four or five in the afternoon and

00:16:30.769 --> 00:16:33.230
I'm in the studio till three. So yeah, getting

00:16:33.230 --> 00:16:35.570
through security in New York, forget about it.

00:16:35.950 --> 00:16:38.509
Forget about it. What are you talking about?

00:16:38.509 --> 00:16:40.850
Pop a cap in your ass and you'll be talking out

00:16:40.850 --> 00:16:45.820
the side of your face, Johnny. What techniques

00:16:45.820 --> 00:16:48.360
or strategies do you use bringing up characters

00:16:48.360 --> 00:16:51.159
to life like through your voice? Are there specific?

00:16:51.620 --> 00:16:53.980
Do you read into the character? How is it you

00:16:53.980 --> 00:16:57.139
come up with the voices? I like to get body paint

00:16:57.139 --> 00:17:04.099
and paint my whole body. That's the way you do

00:17:04.099 --> 00:17:08.380
it. A lot of times. Yeah, right now. No, don't

00:17:08.380 --> 00:17:15.329
you dare. Flashing boobs and stuff. But now,

00:17:15.630 --> 00:17:17.329
I mean, a lot of times you'll get a script and

00:17:17.329 --> 00:17:19.069
you'll look at it and there'll be a character

00:17:19.069 --> 00:17:21.589
breakdown. Sometimes they'll give you a reference.

00:17:21.609 --> 00:17:24.890
You want it to sound like Woody Allen. And then

00:17:24.890 --> 00:17:27.029
you got, I'm going to kill myself. But anyway,

00:17:28.029 --> 00:17:29.829
and then, you know, so there'll be something,

00:17:29.849 --> 00:17:33.829
you know, or, um, you'll go, they'll show you

00:17:33.829 --> 00:17:35.869
a picture and you go, Hey, that looks a lot like,

00:17:35.869 --> 00:17:38.940
you know, Pacino. I'm gonna give it like a little

00:17:38.940 --> 00:17:43.039
Pacino spin. Right, so you start out doing Al,

00:17:43.220 --> 00:17:47.759
right? Come on, oh, what's going on here? Oh,

00:17:48.160 --> 00:17:54.000
you look like you could take it, yeah. And he's

00:17:54.000 --> 00:17:56.099
really, he's really cool. Surprise look every

00:17:56.099 --> 00:17:59.480
time, like what? Yeah, no, I've actually done

00:17:59.480 --> 00:18:04.230
it for him, which is really cool. I've done that

00:18:04.230 --> 00:18:06.849
for him. I did Sean Connery for Sean Connery.

00:18:06.849 --> 00:18:10.349
Oh my gosh. It was fabulous. And, uh, well, Pat

00:18:10.349 --> 00:18:11.930
Stewart for Pat Stewart, which we talked about

00:18:11.930 --> 00:18:14.849
earlier. Uh, God, there's been a number. In fact,

00:18:15.250 --> 00:18:17.049
um, my friend Dorian Harewood is in the notebook

00:18:17.049 --> 00:18:19.470
right now on Broadway. Beautiful actor. He was

00:18:19.470 --> 00:18:21.950
in full metal jacket. You guys remember that?

00:18:22.049 --> 00:18:25.789
You remember Alabama black snake. Anyway, um,

00:18:25.930 --> 00:18:30.140
and he's also the voice of tonight on NBC. Right?

00:18:30.420 --> 00:18:33.079
Oh, yeah. That's Dorian's beautiful voice, man.

00:18:33.259 --> 00:18:37.180
And he's like, he is we we worked on a film together

00:18:37.180 --> 00:18:39.480
called Ferentina. It's the first time I met him.

00:18:39.759 --> 00:18:42.500
Never got released. And he goes, Hey, man, I

00:18:42.500 --> 00:18:46.079
understand you. Hi, Stacey Blue. I understand

00:18:46.079 --> 00:18:51.220
you. You love, you know, you work in radio. Can

00:18:51.220 --> 00:18:53.019
you critique my new record? And I go, Well, you

00:18:53.019 --> 00:18:54.440
know, I produced a lot of records, so I'm going

00:18:54.440 --> 00:18:58.279
to be pretty brutal. Anyway, thank you all. Yeah.

00:18:58.279 --> 00:19:02.660
Oh boy. Here we go. Well, I don't know if I can

00:19:02.660 --> 00:19:08.960
legally, but we'll talk about it anyway. Just

00:19:08.960 --> 00:19:11.140
a little, don't give them too much. No, we're

00:19:11.140 --> 00:19:13.099
not allowed to do the catchphrase. I'd be in

00:19:13.099 --> 00:19:15.740
trouble. We can't do the catchphrase, but yeah.

00:19:15.940 --> 00:19:22.019
So Dorian, that's right. Anyway, so Dorian. Yeah,

00:19:22.240 --> 00:19:24.619
Dorian was so so cool. So he's like, you know,

00:19:24.740 --> 00:19:26.779
he was funny. We found out we live like really

00:19:26.779 --> 00:19:28.500
close to each other. So I came over and I took

00:19:28.500 --> 00:19:31.160
his album. And I reworked a lot of the parts.

00:19:31.160 --> 00:19:33.099
And he's like doom. And that was that we started

00:19:33.099 --> 00:19:34.900
touring together. We played music together. And

00:19:34.900 --> 00:19:36.880
we did a couple of shows together. So it's really

00:19:36.880 --> 00:19:40.039
cool. We worked on rescue heroes. And oh, wow.

00:19:40.400 --> 00:19:42.640
I played helicopter on there was great. Because

00:19:42.640 --> 00:19:45.579
when I went down to NASCAR, my boss at the time

00:19:45.579 --> 00:19:49.400
goes, Hey, my kid. My kids been watching some

00:20:34.289 --> 00:20:36.630
a show was on for a while came out of Canada

00:20:36.630 --> 00:20:38.809
was called Stella and Sam and I played Fred the

00:20:38.809 --> 00:20:42.029
dog. And these people were fantastic. Because

00:20:42.029 --> 00:20:44.609
they hired me to play a real dog. So I didn't

00:20:44.609 --> 00:20:46.490
they weren't going to use sound effects. But

00:20:46.490 --> 00:20:49.910
I ran lines of my own dog. He's like, yeah, he

00:20:49.910 --> 00:20:54.309
just turned 19 and seven months. Like, he's like,

00:20:54.789 --> 00:20:58.910
yeah, he's like, Why don't you give me that sandwich

00:20:58.910 --> 00:21:04.289
over there, you bastard? No, he's like, and I'm

00:21:04.289 --> 00:21:06.369
a 200 pound guy and he could pull me over, right?

00:21:06.529 --> 00:21:09.049
There you go. I'm only four foot three, but still,

00:21:09.269 --> 00:21:15.349
no, no. You got Clifford over there? I actually

00:21:15.349 --> 00:21:18.309
read for Clifford, I didn't get it. No, that's

00:21:18.309 --> 00:21:21.009
all right. You're not missing much. Thank you.

00:21:21.349 --> 00:21:25.210
Thank you. And that's the next question I was

00:21:25.210 --> 00:21:27.470
going to ask you also. Is there a particular

00:21:27.470 --> 00:21:30.150
character or role that you especially take more

00:21:30.150 --> 00:21:32.289
meaningful, I mean, more impact to you? Something

00:21:32.289 --> 00:21:34.869
that like, you know, no matter where you go,

00:21:34.910 --> 00:21:37.769
it just sticks to you. I think all of them. And

00:21:37.769 --> 00:21:39.890
even because I don't know if I told you guys,

00:21:40.049 --> 00:21:44.089
I'm 80 yard and tons of movies and films. So

00:21:44.089 --> 00:21:48.170
I've replaced like over 600 celebrities, right?

00:21:49.250 --> 00:21:53.069
So yeah, yeah, there's stuff you'll like, even

00:21:53.069 --> 00:21:55.450
Arnold, you know, sometimes they'll call him,

00:21:55.470 --> 00:21:57.509
do we need Arnold replaced? And you have to go

00:21:57.509 --> 00:22:01.130
and do it and it's fine. And yeah, so, and, you

00:22:01.130 --> 00:22:04.869
know, and every one of them is amazing. Yeah.

00:22:05.579 --> 00:22:09.099
Hi, how are you guys? It's nice to be here. Yeah,

00:22:09.380 --> 00:22:13.799
get to the chopper, you know. But it's cool.

00:22:13.920 --> 00:22:16.500
It's cool. I mean, I I'm the king of replacements.

00:22:16.640 --> 00:22:18.640
Even even Gambit. I'm a replacement because,

00:22:18.640 --> 00:22:20.579
you know, Chris Potter was Gambit. And I played

00:22:20.579 --> 00:22:26.920
I played his brother, Bobby LeBeau. Oh, OK. And

00:22:26.920 --> 00:22:29.099
when I first when I first read for Gambit, they

00:22:29.099 --> 00:22:32.009
go, well, we're going to Chris. Chris to play

00:22:32.009 --> 00:22:33.670
Gabby because he's a bigger star than, you know,

00:22:33.710 --> 00:22:36.890
I'm like, you mother, it was my, it was no X

00:22:36.890 --> 00:22:38.990
-Men was. That's the episode where he takes the

00:22:38.990 --> 00:22:40.630
loot and all that stuff, right? That's right.

00:22:41.109 --> 00:22:43.349
Yeah. And, and, and, but X -Men was my first

00:22:43.349 --> 00:22:45.450
big, big show. I had done a little Rosie with

00:22:45.450 --> 00:22:47.930
Roseanne Barr. I actually told Tom Arnold, I

00:22:47.930 --> 00:22:50.470
go, Tom, you're my, you're my first like major

00:22:50.470 --> 00:22:53.190
producer. He goes, oh, cool. And then he got

00:22:53.190 --> 00:22:55.549
the hell out of his face, but no, no, he didn't.

00:22:55.809 --> 00:22:58.730
He's really nice. And then, um, yeah. So I was

00:22:58.730 --> 00:23:00.210
doing like, and they go, but don't worry, we'll

00:23:00.210 --> 00:23:01.769
get you doing like a couple of characters an

00:23:01.769 --> 00:23:03.109
episode. And I go, what does that mean? They

00:23:03.109 --> 00:23:06.259
go, double the money. I'm like. Because they

00:23:06.259 --> 00:23:07.960
didn't think it was going to last a year. They

00:23:07.960 --> 00:23:10.200
really didn't. And I'm like, oh, great. I'm doing

00:23:10.200 --> 00:23:12.759
fine. And then when Chris left the show, I took

00:23:12.759 --> 00:23:14.759
over as Gambit. And I played for like nine years

00:23:14.759 --> 00:23:17.579
doing all the Street Fighter versus X -Men and

00:23:17.579 --> 00:23:20.359
Capcom versus Marvel superheroes and all that

00:23:20.359 --> 00:23:22.559
stuff. It was a lot of fun. You know, I even

00:23:22.559 --> 00:23:24.480
got to do Wolverine in there and Toad and a bunch

00:23:24.480 --> 00:23:28.420
of other ones. Thank you, Cortez. It was really

00:23:28.420 --> 00:23:31.789
cool, you know. just being part of it and and

00:23:31.789 --> 00:23:33.930
I'm grateful as an actor I'm grateful because

00:23:33.930 --> 00:23:37.210
you know like one of the very first uh so I was

00:23:37.210 --> 00:23:39.869
showing the guitar from Rick right right Rick's

00:23:39.869 --> 00:23:42.910
brother Russell who passed years ago it was my

00:23:42.910 --> 00:23:44.730
best buddy from school we were in high school

00:23:44.730 --> 00:23:46.589
together and we had a play it's a small theater

00:23:46.589 --> 00:23:50.339
company And I'd been working at the television

00:23:50.339 --> 00:23:53.819
station and they go, man, we could really, man,

00:23:53.900 --> 00:23:56.099
we could really use something to talk backstage

00:23:56.099 --> 00:23:57.920
and front stage of the director and the lighting

00:23:57.920 --> 00:24:00.359
people. And so I went in one day and there were

00:24:00.359 --> 00:24:02.579
a bunch of those headsets with the mics. I still

00:24:02.579 --> 00:24:04.230
have them by the way. They were in the garbage.

00:24:04.490 --> 00:24:06.150
Yeah, they were kind of in this like garbage

00:24:06.150 --> 00:24:08.029
thing. And I go, what's happened to these, Mikey?

00:24:08.029 --> 00:24:09.690
And he goes, Oh, we're just tossing them. They're

00:24:09.690 --> 00:24:11.529
horrible. And I'm like, he goes, you want them?

00:24:11.569 --> 00:24:13.390
I go, sure. He goes, see if you can fix them.

00:24:13.390 --> 00:24:16.029
So I took them home and I rewired them. Yeah.

00:24:16.029 --> 00:24:17.990
And then I did a lot of money. So I went to a

00:24:17.990 --> 00:24:22.910
little, um, there was a radio repair guy in the

00:24:22.910 --> 00:24:27.450
city and, um, he goes, uh, there was a couple

00:24:27.450 --> 00:24:28.730
of receivers that I told him what I was doing.

00:24:28.750 --> 00:24:31.589
He goes, have you got 10 bucks? I go, no, I got

00:24:31.589 --> 00:24:34.039
five. He goes, All right, take them both. He

00:24:34.039 --> 00:24:37.059
goes, use one to send the mic and the other one

00:24:37.059 --> 00:24:39.680
to here. That's what I did. So I wired it all

00:24:39.680 --> 00:24:41.980
up and they were able to talk to each other backstage

00:24:41.980 --> 00:24:44.900
and director and everything. Yeah. So the next

00:24:44.900 --> 00:24:47.660
one, which was like a year later, he says, uh,

00:24:47.660 --> 00:24:49.319
all right, so we've got another play coming up

00:24:49.319 --> 00:24:50.779
and you're going to be in it. And I go, okay,

00:24:50.799 --> 00:24:52.319
I got my headsets and everything. He goes, no,

00:24:52.380 --> 00:24:54.920
no, I'm renting gear. You're going to be in the

00:24:54.920 --> 00:24:56.859
play. You're going to be an actor. And that was,

00:24:57.059 --> 00:25:00.279
yeah. So you also came out on Sailor Moon as

00:25:00.279 --> 00:25:04.420
well, right? Dude, I did 290 minimum voices.

00:25:05.079 --> 00:25:07.259
Wow. Yeah. Yeah. In fact, there's a kid out of

00:25:07.259 --> 00:25:09.660
Australia, Coors and Moon. He went and looked

00:25:09.660 --> 00:25:12.259
up almost he found 290. And I think there was

00:25:12.259 --> 00:25:14.720
more, but we couldn't. There was some I'd listened

00:25:14.720 --> 00:25:17.299
to and go, I don't know if it's me. Sorry. I

00:25:17.299 --> 00:25:20.839
don't know if it's me, but it could be. And that

00:25:20.839 --> 00:25:23.140
was really cool. Yeah. But my main guy on there

00:25:23.140 --> 00:25:25.759
first was Jedi and then the wise man. And then

00:25:25.759 --> 00:25:28.180
there was an episode called much ado about babysitting

00:25:28.180 --> 00:25:31.170
where I played. baby Jordan so I was the baby

00:25:31.170 --> 00:25:33.569
and I was the kind of Bruce Willis voice as well

00:25:33.569 --> 00:25:35.950
so the baby this is true for the whole show I

00:25:35.950 --> 00:25:42.150
was like right doing that stuff then going hey

00:25:42.150 --> 00:25:45.430
you big dummy get me a bottle of milk you know

00:25:45.430 --> 00:25:52.470
got a lot of fans jumping on I got a Sean Mecca

00:25:52.470 --> 00:25:57.359
here he goes telling oh my gosh okay Hello, Petit.

00:25:57.579 --> 00:26:00.160
Nice to see you. Actually, Petit is my favorite.

00:26:00.599 --> 00:26:04.380
Don't say anything. So is Lenore. But Alison

00:26:04.380 --> 00:26:06.940
and I, Alison Court and I became really close

00:26:06.940 --> 00:26:09.079
and not from, not from the X -Men. This was later

00:26:09.079 --> 00:26:11.799
on we became even closer and I just love her.

00:26:11.900 --> 00:26:15.079
She's just such a good person. And Lenore, Lenore

00:26:15.079 --> 00:26:18.140
walks on water. And I just saw Katherine Disher

00:26:18.140 --> 00:26:22.180
and Alison Sealy -Smith and Lenore about a weekend

00:26:22.180 --> 00:26:24.119
ago. And they're just such beautiful people.

00:26:24.279 --> 00:26:26.099
You know, I've been lucky. I've been lucky. Like

00:26:26.099 --> 00:26:27.380
most of the people I've worked with, Lawrence

00:26:27.380 --> 00:26:29.980
Bain, we're just, we. tease the crap out of each

00:26:29.980 --> 00:26:32.000
other. I mean, we're, we're actually to the point

00:26:32.000 --> 00:26:35.460
of evil. Hey, you know, and then some of the

00:26:35.460 --> 00:26:38.819
guys we lost like norm, man, normal Spencer played

00:26:38.819 --> 00:26:44.019
Cyclops. Um, I love norm a lot. And, um, it was

00:26:44.019 --> 00:26:46.599
funny because I was working at a network and,

00:26:46.599 --> 00:26:48.400
uh, they go, oh, well, you know, you've been

00:26:48.400 --> 00:26:49.500
here in a year and a half, we're going to get

00:26:49.500 --> 00:26:51.480
a new voice. And it ended up being norm norm

00:26:51.480 --> 00:26:54.079
says, Hey, man. did you like working with those

00:26:54.079 --> 00:26:56.759
guys yeah they're kind of they're kind of out

00:26:56.759 --> 00:26:58.720
there but it's fun he goes well they gave me

00:26:58.720 --> 00:27:01.740
hell because i couldn't say the word stegosaurus

00:27:01.740 --> 00:27:08.759
i go stegosaurus he goes son of a bitch And then,

00:27:08.759 --> 00:27:11.640
uh, yeah, as time went by, like I was ahead of

00:27:11.640 --> 00:27:13.880
the game. I was actually recording one time I

00:27:13.880 --> 00:27:15.859
was in LA and I had a little phone. I had a little

00:27:15.859 --> 00:27:18.079
Samsung phone, I guess of Samsung or Motorola

00:27:18.079 --> 00:27:19.980
and I plugged into my computer and they go, we

00:27:19.980 --> 00:27:23.019
need a voice right now. And I'm driving 56 K

00:27:23.019 --> 00:27:25.480
by the way, I'm driving along. I record the thing.

00:27:25.680 --> 00:27:27.940
And as I'm driving, I'm uploading, you know,

00:27:27.940 --> 00:27:29.819
and by the time I got from one end of the city

00:27:29.819 --> 00:27:32.900
to the other had uploaded one little tiny file.

00:27:33.069 --> 00:27:34.910
There you go. So I was like one of the first

00:27:34.910 --> 00:27:37.410
guys to ever record on the road, you know. There

00:27:37.410 --> 00:27:40.390
you go. Yeah. That's crazy. I did the Olympics

00:27:40.390 --> 00:27:44.690
from an Uber. Really? Yeah. Yeah. They were they

00:27:44.690 --> 00:27:47.960
were 13 hours ahead. And they call and they go,

00:27:48.319 --> 00:27:50.220
oh my God, this guy got hurt and there's all

00:27:50.220 --> 00:27:51.920
these changes and we need these right now. And

00:27:51.920 --> 00:27:56.500
I go, okay, where are you? I was with one of

00:27:56.500 --> 00:27:58.420
my musical partners. We were opening for the

00:27:58.420 --> 00:28:01.140
10 ,000 Maniacs. Oh wow, there you go. Yeah,

00:28:01.200 --> 00:28:03.000
we played with the Goo Goo Dolls. I played with

00:28:03.000 --> 00:28:08.150
everybody. Awesome. Yeah. So during when we got

00:28:08.150 --> 00:28:10.670
to load in, I ran downstairs, recorded something,

00:28:10.849 --> 00:28:14.250
ran upstairs, did load in, ran downstairs, ran

00:28:14.250 --> 00:28:16.670
upstairs, did sound check, ran downstairs, did

00:28:16.670 --> 00:28:18.809
more voiceover, ran back upstairs, played on

00:28:18.809 --> 00:28:21.630
stage, ran back downstairs. Right, right. So

00:28:21.630 --> 00:28:23.490
I hired an Uber guy to sit out front for the

00:28:23.490 --> 00:28:26.480
whole time. And then I didn't even need to, because

00:28:26.480 --> 00:28:28.200
my friend showed up with his car and I just did

00:28:28.200 --> 00:28:31.400
it in his car. That is a good question that was

00:28:31.400 --> 00:28:32.980
just sent out right now. We got a question from

00:28:32.980 --> 00:28:36.000
Sean Mecca. Here we go, Mr. Daniels. He goes,

00:28:36.099 --> 00:28:39.240
how does one get into voice acting? Well, Sean,

00:28:39.259 --> 00:28:41.500
what you have to do is I actually cheated a little

00:28:41.500 --> 00:28:46.039
bit. No, I mean, it depends where you're located.

00:28:46.279 --> 00:28:49.039
But first thing you want to do is, which I've

00:28:49.039 --> 00:28:52.099
been lucky with is I started as an improver.

00:28:52.490 --> 00:28:55.390
Uh, and on, you know, stage acting and improving.

00:28:55.650 --> 00:28:57.029
So you want, you want to get a background in

00:28:57.029 --> 00:28:59.789
that because a voice is more about acting than

00:28:59.789 --> 00:29:02.150
it is about just having a voice because I mean,

00:29:02.150 --> 00:29:04.329
I'm going to do a ton of voices, but if you can't

00:29:04.329 --> 00:29:07.109
do the act, you're going to fail fairly fast.

00:29:07.109 --> 00:29:08.829
So you want to get into a couple of classes if

00:29:08.829 --> 00:29:11.210
you, if you don't have it in you already. So,

00:29:11.210 --> 00:29:13.809
uh, I would suggest taking a couple of improv.

00:29:13.910 --> 00:29:17.190
I'm a second city guy and a theater sports guy

00:29:17.190 --> 00:29:20.230
and a couple of other, um, improv classes. And

00:29:20.230 --> 00:29:22.710
that also helps with writing. And so a lot of

00:29:22.710 --> 00:29:25.210
the shows I've been on, I've been able to look

00:29:25.210 --> 00:29:27.549
at a script and go, that's funny, but I can make

00:29:27.549 --> 00:29:32.170
it funnier. And yeah, we can make it happen.

00:29:32.509 --> 00:29:35.509
Yeah. But what you do is you get, you know, get

00:29:35.509 --> 00:29:37.390
a couple of classes and then, you know, save

00:29:37.390 --> 00:29:39.109
up for your gear. So you're going to need a decent

00:29:39.109 --> 00:29:43.009
mic, you know, headphones and interface. And

00:29:43.009 --> 00:29:44.750
that that'll pretty well do it. And then you

00:29:44.750 --> 00:29:48.130
need a nice computer, either a Mac or a PC. And

00:29:48.130 --> 00:29:52.029
I moved over to Mac. Yeah. Don't use start cue.

00:29:55.130 --> 00:29:58.470
And then, you know, if you want, I can connect

00:29:58.470 --> 00:30:01.069
you guys with my guy at Sweetwater, which is

00:30:01.069 --> 00:30:03.869
like the biggest distributor of musical instrumentation

00:30:03.869 --> 00:30:05.849
and mics and everything. And they're great. And

00:30:05.849 --> 00:30:07.430
if you just say, you know, Tony Daniels, they'll

00:30:07.430 --> 00:30:10.470
give you my discount. Like, seriously, I've been

00:30:10.470 --> 00:30:13.549
helping a lot of folks out. My buddy, my buddy,

00:30:13.849 --> 00:30:18.220
Judd Goldrich. He's the best. You guys have SM7

00:30:18.220 --> 00:30:20.039
sitting right in front of you. So if one blows

00:30:20.039 --> 00:30:24.500
out, you call me and we'll send you to SM7. You

00:30:24.500 --> 00:30:27.279
know, everybody can do it. You just, you just

00:30:27.279 --> 00:30:29.599
have to, uh, you just have to apply. A lot of

00:30:29.599 --> 00:30:31.140
people go, well, I can do it. I've got a great,

00:30:31.279 --> 00:30:33.059
great voices. Then you get the Maria script and

00:30:33.059 --> 00:30:37.380
they go, uh, it's like, no, it's not just being

00:30:37.380 --> 00:30:39.559
able to move your mouth and then sound cool.

00:30:40.059 --> 00:30:41.619
You got to have the acting chops. And I think

00:30:41.619 --> 00:30:43.039
that's where it is. And if you can get into a

00:30:43.039 --> 00:30:46.509
local theater group. It'll go a long long way

00:30:46.509 --> 00:30:48.950
and I just actually before I came on with you

00:30:48.950 --> 00:30:51.890
guys I was with a young actor friend who I met

00:30:51.890 --> 00:30:55.869
through like Dominic has a group of older gentlemen

00:30:55.869 --> 00:30:59.750
and ladies that play music on weekends a little

00:30:59.750 --> 00:31:02.390
market just on the Upper East Side of New York,

00:31:02.809 --> 00:31:05.390
and I'll go over there and we'll play. And it

00:31:05.390 --> 00:31:07.210
was a young kid that joined us. He just lives

00:31:07.210 --> 00:31:10.309
around the corner and he wanted to, he's a school

00:31:10.309 --> 00:31:11.890
teacher right now, but he wants to be an actor.

00:31:11.990 --> 00:31:14.549
So I'm helping him out. And that's one of the

00:31:14.549 --> 00:31:16.309
things. So I've got him, he's going to sign up

00:31:16.309 --> 00:31:18.250
tomorrow for a friend of mine's acting class.

00:31:18.650 --> 00:31:21.390
And then I told him, I said, you need to take

00:31:21.390 --> 00:31:23.109
an improv class. And there used to be Upright

00:31:23.109 --> 00:31:25.630
Citizens Brigade here in the South. You know,

00:31:25.630 --> 00:31:28.789
you have your... groundlings and stuff and if

00:31:28.789 --> 00:31:30.150
you learn that's where most of the people that

00:31:30.150 --> 00:31:33.069
are really hot right now study with the groundlings,

00:31:33.250 --> 00:31:35.589
you know, and if you can do improv so Like I

00:31:35.589 --> 00:31:37.589
said with my friend Colin mockery and a bunch

00:31:37.589 --> 00:31:42.109
of the guys on whose line is it? You know anyway,

00:31:42.730 --> 00:31:45.190
yeah. Yeah, and that's where they they cut their

00:31:45.190 --> 00:31:48.069
teeth and I You know, I mean as I was able to

00:31:48.069 --> 00:31:50.150
and you know The the commercial side of it was

00:31:50.150 --> 00:31:54.410
great because I was able to go in and work hundreds

00:31:54.410 --> 00:31:57.210
upon thousands of commercials and the reason

00:31:57.210 --> 00:31:59.190
being because I could do the voices and I could

00:31:59.190 --> 00:32:01.730
also improv and rewrite some of the lines with

00:32:01.730 --> 00:32:04.809
with in you know in respect to the writer but

00:32:04.809 --> 00:32:08.589
also to support the writer so it there was a

00:32:08.589 --> 00:32:11.049
show I was on that the writer did not like my

00:32:11.049 --> 00:32:13.690
improving because there's like I wrote this you

00:32:13.690 --> 00:32:16.329
know this is mine you know I'm like okay right

00:32:16.329 --> 00:32:18.289
I'm just offering it I read it the normal way

00:32:18.289 --> 00:32:23.910
and then I read it funnier I made it better.

00:32:24.130 --> 00:32:27.529
That was awesome. I did. Yeah. That's what it's

00:32:27.529 --> 00:32:29.769
all about. I mean, you see something on paper,

00:32:29.789 --> 00:32:32.309
you try to create it and make it your own. That's

00:32:32.309 --> 00:32:34.009
what kind of singles you out from everybody else.

00:32:34.089 --> 00:32:37.430
And that's what makes you stand out more. I stood

00:32:37.430 --> 00:32:42.690
out with Monica that time. A big shout out to

00:34:09.539 --> 00:34:11.800
So I like going places and one of my best buddies,

00:34:11.800 --> 00:34:14.260
he just moved to Florida, opened a new restaurant.

00:34:14.380 --> 00:34:16.699
You guys gotta check it out. It's so cool. Yeah,

00:34:16.699 --> 00:34:19.420
it's called Alexander's and it's near close to

00:34:19.420 --> 00:34:22.300
St. Augustine. And so I'm trying to get down

00:34:22.300 --> 00:34:25.559
to see him. And the next time I go on to take

00:34:25.559 --> 00:34:29.750
Dominic Kinesi with me because we'll go down

00:34:29.750 --> 00:34:32.269
and we'll play music live and stuff. But yeah,

00:34:32.269 --> 00:34:36.909
I, I don't get a lot of time off. Um, ever since

00:34:36.909 --> 00:34:39.710
I'm a kid, I've never really, I've been on one

00:34:39.710 --> 00:34:44.449
vacation, maybe two to Mexico. Oh, there you

00:34:44.449 --> 00:34:47.630
go. There you go. Uh, and then one time to England,

00:34:47.630 --> 00:34:51.050
but that was for work. So it doesn't count. Yeah.

00:34:51.289 --> 00:34:53.429
Well here in Mexico is just a hop and a skip.

00:34:53.789 --> 00:34:58.170
It's just a minute away. My luck, I'll get stuck.

00:35:00.570 --> 00:35:03.130
How long you been out of the country, sir? Just

00:35:03.130 --> 00:35:07.440
a couple of days. Wait a minute, where are you

00:35:07.440 --> 00:35:13.760
from? I'm from the Bronx. What's going on with

00:35:13.760 --> 00:35:15.119
the burro here, sir? Why are you bringing the

00:35:15.119 --> 00:35:18.119
crocodile with the big one? Hey, don't worry

00:35:18.119 --> 00:35:20.860
about it, man. I crossed the road with the bronco

00:35:20.860 --> 00:35:23.480
and I'm coming back for the burro. Hey, a burro.

00:35:23.659 --> 00:35:25.820
And don't worry about it, man. I don't have 17

00:35:25.820 --> 00:35:33.900
of my family members in Detroit. Oh my gosh.

00:35:34.599 --> 00:35:35.780
That'd be my luck, you know. We've got a lot

00:35:35.780 --> 00:35:40.039
of people in there. Oh yeah, we can. I gotta

00:35:40.039 --> 00:35:44.199
tell you, it's crazy because, well maybe I should

00:35:44.199 --> 00:35:46.340
say a few more times. I went to Tijuana quite

00:35:46.340 --> 00:35:49.400
a bit. I was living in California and it was

00:35:49.400 --> 00:35:52.199
great because I just love it there. Except for

00:35:52.199 --> 00:35:54.400
the one time this guy goes, sir would you like

00:35:54.400 --> 00:35:56.940
a picture with the donkey? And I go, no I'm fine.

00:35:57.000 --> 00:35:59.820
He goes, sir would you like a picture with the

00:35:59.820 --> 00:36:02.869
donkey? I said, no. And he goes, are you going?

00:36:03.130 --> 00:36:12.730
And I go, what? And I go, dude, do I look like

00:36:12.730 --> 00:36:16.710
an idiot? I know what it means. Oh, OK. Don't

00:36:16.710 --> 00:36:18.949
worry about the donkey. Don't worry about the

00:36:18.949 --> 00:36:21.989
donkey. He was actually funny because he just

00:36:21.989 --> 00:36:26.389
thought I was some asshole tourist. But I got

00:36:26.389 --> 00:36:30.130
a great pair of boots. I got the best boots in

00:36:30.130 --> 00:36:33.289
the whole city. Here's a question for you. When

00:36:33.289 --> 00:36:38.769
you... Sorry, I'm married. Question number two.

00:36:41.030 --> 00:36:46.139
So much race. You see it or you mess it up? When

00:36:46.139 --> 00:36:48.519
you do, I'm pretty sure you go out to eat or

00:36:48.519 --> 00:36:50.179
when you, if you order over the phone, do you

00:36:50.179 --> 00:36:52.860
ever throw your voices out there in any of your,

00:36:52.860 --> 00:36:54.719
I mean, just to mess with them. Just for the

00:36:54.719 --> 00:37:00.480
hell of it. I've done it. I knew it. I knew it.

00:37:00.739 --> 00:37:02.780
This one's really bad. I'm getting in trouble

00:37:02.780 --> 00:37:05.920
because I better change the accent because I'll

00:37:05.920 --> 00:37:07.900
get in trouble because people, people can't.

00:37:07.639 --> 00:37:09.780
You know, you're not doing it to be mean. I just

00:37:09.780 --> 00:37:12.980
do accents. So one time I'm going through a McDonald's

00:37:12.980 --> 00:37:15.860
drive. Oh, here we go. This is like a long time

00:37:15.860 --> 00:37:20.039
ago. So we get up to the thing and I go, yeah,

00:37:20.320 --> 00:37:24.630
we'd like to order some McDonald's. It wasn't

00:37:24.630 --> 00:37:28.030
that accent. It was much more... I got you, I

00:37:28.030 --> 00:37:30.789
got you. It's like, yeah, two picking backs and

00:37:30.789 --> 00:37:33.889
then the Coca Cola and all this, right? And I

00:37:33.889 --> 00:37:37.309
get up and they go, all right, that'll be twenty

00:37:37.309 --> 00:37:38.969
two dollars and fifty cents. That's how long

00:37:38.969 --> 00:37:41.670
ago it was. It was like in the 70s. And I go,

00:37:42.449 --> 00:37:45.909
oh, great, great, great, nigga. Where's the German

00:37:45.909 --> 00:37:52.739
guy? I go... I was talking to a German guy and

00:37:52.739 --> 00:37:55.820
I go, Oh, but I did notice that your thing, the

00:37:55.820 --> 00:37:58.460
board there with the, it said made in Germany.

00:38:01.840 --> 00:38:05.880
I figured talking like that. I've gone to, I've

00:38:05.880 --> 00:38:08.159
gone to parties and just like, uh, you know,

00:38:08.159 --> 00:38:10.420
I've gone to parties and puts on the British

00:38:10.420 --> 00:38:13.719
accents for the whole night. But the best was

00:38:13.719 --> 00:38:16.000
the South African again. We're doing the Olympics.

00:38:16.280 --> 00:38:20.440
and I worked, I had two great sand engineers,

00:38:20.699 --> 00:38:23.480
both were South African, Brett and my friend

00:38:23.480 --> 00:38:26.239
Leonard Fisher, and we're doing the thing, right,

00:38:26.360 --> 00:38:29.119
the whole summer I'm like, I go in the studio

00:38:29.119 --> 00:38:31.559
and we're talking South African, even my friend

00:38:31.559 --> 00:38:33.599
Damien came in, we're talking South African.

00:38:35.599 --> 00:38:38.260
And end of the Olympics, this guy, Rob Viola,

00:38:38.400 --> 00:38:40.079
who ran the, you know, the dart system, which

00:38:40.079 --> 00:38:41.760
is, you know, the, you know, the slow mode capture

00:38:41.760 --> 00:38:43.699
thing that does a great replay. Right. So he

00:38:43.699 --> 00:38:45.500
goes, Hey, Tony, it was really nice to meet you.

00:38:45.519 --> 00:38:47.619
I go, Oh, great to meet you too. Robbie goes,

00:38:48.300 --> 00:38:53.440
you're not South Africa. I realized the whole

00:38:53.440 --> 00:38:55.739
summer I talked to him with a South African accent.

00:38:56.500 --> 00:39:00.019
Wow. Well, you didn't break character. That's

00:39:00.019 --> 00:39:04.250
a very good thing. It's a very good thing. Oh

00:39:04.250 --> 00:39:07.610
my gosh. And also, I know you've gone to a couple

00:39:07.610 --> 00:39:10.289
of Comic Cons and you've gone to sign autographs

00:39:10.289 --> 00:39:11.849
and all that good stuff. When you go out with

00:39:11.849 --> 00:39:14.110
the celebrities that are there with you, or partner

00:39:14.110 --> 00:39:17.329
series that were part of the series, would you

00:39:17.329 --> 00:39:18.829
all talk in character when the waiters would

00:39:18.829 --> 00:39:23.639
come around? Oh, yeah, actually, I was out with

00:39:23.639 --> 00:39:26.940
Mr. McFeely. David was David's last name. I always

00:39:26.940 --> 00:39:28.539
forget. It's so bad. I shouldn't be doing that

00:39:28.539 --> 00:39:31.679
because I just call him Mr. McFeely from the

00:39:31.679 --> 00:39:33.639
Fred Rogers show. You know, he played the mailman,

00:39:33.760 --> 00:39:36.219
you know, and Kevin, Kevin Clash, who played

00:39:36.219 --> 00:39:41.099
Elmo and Guy Gilchrist, who's an artist and just

00:39:41.099 --> 00:39:43.880
a couple of folks. But me, Kevin and Mr. McFeely

00:39:43.880 --> 00:39:49.679
would would order and he'd be like, yeah. And

00:39:49.679 --> 00:39:52.079
here's this big, huge black dude ordering food

00:39:52.079 --> 00:39:53.880
with an Elmo voice, because it's really him,

00:39:53.900 --> 00:40:02.380
right? That is crazy. That is crazy. I'm pretty

00:40:02.380 --> 00:40:04.199
sure the waiter or the waitress are pretty much

00:40:04.199 --> 00:40:06.480
freaked out like, what is going on? What is going

00:40:06.480 --> 00:40:08.920
on here? And again, you're not doing it to hurt

00:40:08.920 --> 00:40:10.719
people. You do it because you just love to be

00:40:10.719 --> 00:40:13.940
part of this magical thing that, you know, if

00:40:13.940 --> 00:40:15.699
you have that kind of talent, you can do it.

00:40:15.739 --> 00:40:19.380
It just feels fun. Right, right. Exactly. Exactly.

00:40:19.539 --> 00:40:23.260
I mean, so many voices they've done through the

00:40:23.260 --> 00:40:27.519
years. I know everybody that when when you were

00:40:27.519 --> 00:40:29.900
announced to come down to South Texas Comic Con,

00:40:30.380 --> 00:40:35.440
a lot of people were going crazy. I know. I mean,

00:40:35.579 --> 00:40:37.940
it's understandable. You have work and it just

00:40:37.940 --> 00:40:40.519
happens. I had to I had to dump out on one a

00:40:40.519 --> 00:40:42.920
couple of months ago because I had a movie. Oh,

00:40:42.940 --> 00:40:45.360
and it happens a lot, you know, because the scheduling

00:40:45.360 --> 00:40:49.929
is just Brutal and and again flights like uh

00:40:49.929 --> 00:40:52.789
was it uh There was a there's a comic book store

00:40:52.789 --> 00:40:54.630
in michigan, which I really wanted to go because

00:40:54.630 --> 00:40:57.329
I have family there And these people were really

00:40:57.329 --> 00:41:00.530
lovely and the day I left I sat in the airport

00:41:00.530 --> 00:41:05.309
from I'm gonna say seven in the morning till

00:41:05.309 --> 00:41:09.170
whatever till Nine at night right and because

00:41:09.170 --> 00:41:11.269
of the weather and I've never got out So we had

00:41:11.269 --> 00:41:13.389
to reschedule and finally reschedule I went and

00:41:13.389 --> 00:41:15.909
was great and we had a good time and we had a

00:41:15.909 --> 00:41:18.480
lot of people show up. So, you know, I apologize

00:41:18.480 --> 00:41:20.920
to the fans for that because it's not, it's out

00:41:20.920 --> 00:41:23.619
of our control. Totally, totally understanding,

00:41:23.679 --> 00:41:26.900
you know, and we hope we look forward to see

00:41:26.900 --> 00:41:28.880
you next year. If you have a chance to come down

00:41:28.880 --> 00:41:31.860
here, that'd be great, man. I'm going to be in

00:41:31.860 --> 00:41:36.480
Dallas soon. Oh, don't forget. And Lubbock. So

00:41:36.480 --> 00:41:39.000
you guys are driving distance from either. So

00:41:39.000 --> 00:41:45.699
it's a, it's a drive. Don't wimp out on me. You

00:41:45.699 --> 00:41:49.780
two sons of bitches. Another question. I know

00:41:49.780 --> 00:41:51.340
I had a buddy in mind who wanted me to ask you

00:41:51.340 --> 00:41:59.059
a question. Um, have you, have you seen, or what

00:41:59.059 --> 00:42:03.179
are your thoughts of the new Expo 97? I'm sorry,

00:42:03.340 --> 00:42:11.530
my earphones are out. No, it's good. It's really

00:42:11.530 --> 00:42:20.329
good. I would have preferred Rogue being drawn

00:42:20.329 --> 00:42:22.889
the same way. Yeah. Because we're missing some

00:42:22.889 --> 00:42:24.949
of that. That's I didn't like. And how could

00:42:24.949 --> 00:42:28.849
you be younger looking in 97 than you were in

00:42:28.849 --> 00:42:32.530
95? Thank you. Thank you. I'm not I'm not the

00:42:32.530 --> 00:42:34.889
only one who said the same thing. Yeah. But the

00:42:34.889 --> 00:42:38.889
storylines are great. You know, except for All

00:42:38.889 --> 00:42:43.110
right. If you guys, I'm hoping. Oh, here we go.

00:42:43.789 --> 00:42:46.210
If you guys are watching right now, this might

00:42:46.210 --> 00:42:49.789
be a spoiler for you. So turn off and come back

00:42:49.789 --> 00:42:52.250
in 10 minutes. A couple of guys get killed. That's

00:42:52.250 --> 00:42:58.809
it. And I know one of them intimately. I have

00:42:58.809 --> 00:43:01.130
a question from Lalo here. He goes, how many

00:43:01.130 --> 00:43:03.849
more years do you want to continue voice acting?

00:43:04.050 --> 00:43:10.760
Until I'm 104. You're not stopping me, you little

00:43:10.760 --> 00:43:13.579
son of a gooker. I'll smash you right in your

00:43:13.579 --> 00:43:17.079
nose. I'll put a cucumber in your eye and blind

00:43:17.079 --> 00:43:23.840
you. Lalo, I'm going to do it until I can't.

00:43:25.699 --> 00:43:30.699
I've got a man, one of my favorite friends. He

00:43:30.699 --> 00:43:36.039
died in, oh God, early 2000s, Len Carlson. He

00:43:36.039 --> 00:43:39.940
was the voice of Oh, oh, oh, green giant. Yeah,

00:43:39.940 --> 00:43:42.019
he's one of the greatest voice actors. You can

00:43:42.019 --> 00:43:45.880
look him up. Lynn Carlson. And he said if we're

00:43:45.880 --> 00:43:47.900
going to actually opening a voiceover school

00:43:47.900 --> 00:43:49.539
together, but we didn't have a chance before

00:43:49.539 --> 00:43:52.059
he passed. But he said, I'll just keep going

00:43:52.059 --> 00:43:56.280
until I don't breathe. And, you know, because

00:43:56.280 --> 00:44:00.059
there's something about this that gives. I think

00:44:00.059 --> 00:44:01.900
it creates a lot of dopamine. You get pleasure

00:44:01.900 --> 00:44:03.619
in your brain when you're doing it. And especially

00:44:03.619 --> 00:44:06.340
if it's good, of course you'll get the odd weird

00:44:06.340 --> 00:44:08.940
thing that can happen. Like you might get a director

00:44:08.940 --> 00:44:10.860
who doesn't see it the same way as you. And you're

00:44:10.860 --> 00:44:14.500
getting, you're getting earfuls in your ear of

00:44:14.500 --> 00:44:19.679
maybe in 35 years more. I've only had that maybe

00:44:19.679 --> 00:44:23.619
a couple of times where somebody just like, this

00:44:23.619 --> 00:44:28.340
is not working out, you know? Yeah. But for for

00:44:28.340 --> 00:44:30.320
those people for every one of them there's been

00:44:30.320 --> 00:44:33.179
a you know a thousand that have been fantastic

00:44:33.179 --> 00:44:37.000
as directors and and stuff and then you know

00:44:37.000 --> 00:44:39.199
and i'm the kind of guy like i have a hardcore

00:44:39.199 --> 00:44:42.139
work ethic as you can imagine so i'm always like

00:44:42.139 --> 00:44:45.079
to sessions and stuff i'm always early i find

00:44:45.079 --> 00:44:47.340
young actors show up late a lot and stuff so

00:44:47.340 --> 00:44:49.400
i've never done it i've only been late for two

00:44:49.400 --> 00:44:52.440
two uh two jobs in my whole life which is a lot

00:44:52.440 --> 00:44:56.280
in 40 40 years Wow, very punctual, punctual.

00:44:56.460 --> 00:44:58.840
That's good. Well, and the only reason I was

00:44:58.840 --> 00:45:01.699
late was the first one was a, uh, I was in doing

00:45:01.699 --> 00:45:07.119
a Coca -Cola commercial and, uh, no, and, and

00:45:07.119 --> 00:45:10.400
they, uh, I used to like him until the accident.

00:45:10.639 --> 00:45:15.019
Anyway, um, the, you know, once you finished

00:45:15.019 --> 00:45:16.500
the commercial, you have to wait for the client

00:45:16.500 --> 00:45:19.039
to approve and then you can leave, but they only

00:45:19.039 --> 00:45:20.880
get a couple of hours and then they're in overtime.

00:45:21.119 --> 00:45:24.420
Now we're into an hour overtime. guys, I have

00:45:24.420 --> 00:45:26.780
another I have another two more sessions, I gotta

00:45:26.780 --> 00:45:29.099
go, you know, and they're like, so we're I'm

00:45:29.099 --> 00:45:31.000
like an hour and a half late to the next session,

00:45:31.420 --> 00:45:33.739
which technically I was like 45 minutes late

00:45:33.739 --> 00:45:35.539
to that session, they were like a little pissed,

00:45:35.539 --> 00:45:37.659
but I'm like, dude, it's not my fault, blah,

00:45:37.780 --> 00:45:40.300
blah, blah. Anyway, we were done like, we were

00:45:40.300 --> 00:45:41.900
supposed to be there two hours, I was done like

00:45:41.900 --> 00:45:44.300
10 minutes, it was so good, you know, so with

00:45:44.300 --> 00:45:46.539
the good and the bad. And then the other time

00:45:46.539 --> 00:45:53.190
was, I had a lady friend, Deborah, she Who's

00:45:53.190 --> 00:45:57.170
a great director I worked with and I'm usually

00:45:57.170 --> 00:46:00.389
like always a half hour early if I can be and

00:46:00.389 --> 00:46:03.909
like 99 % anyway, so this one day my agent called

00:46:03.909 --> 00:46:11.530
says you have an a gig at the 350 I go 350 Wow

00:46:11.530 --> 00:46:17.309
350 Nobody does a gig at 350. You mean 315 and

00:46:17.309 --> 00:46:20.489
she goes no 350 I go you're sure she goes I called

00:46:20.489 --> 00:46:23.190
them again made sure Because it's usually on

00:46:23.190 --> 00:46:25.809
every 15 minutes, they'll clock. Oh, right, right,

00:46:25.809 --> 00:46:28.429
right. So it's at four o 'clock, 4 .50. Right,

00:46:28.530 --> 00:46:30.989
right. 3 .50. I go, you're short, yeah, 100%.

00:46:30.989 --> 00:46:33.449
So I'm there at 20 after three, and she comes

00:46:33.449 --> 00:46:36.090
out, where's that asshole? Where is he? Blah,

00:46:36.090 --> 00:46:37.789
blah, blah. She's screaming. I go, I wonder if

00:46:37.789 --> 00:46:40.070
she's waiting for it. She goes, there you are.

00:46:40.389 --> 00:46:44.210
Where the hell were you? And I go, uh, look,

00:46:44.409 --> 00:46:48.210
look at my day timer says three five zero. What

00:46:48.210 --> 00:46:50.849
are you deaf? It's 3 .15. I go, hang on. I go,

00:46:50.989 --> 00:46:53.150
my agent called four times to your scheduler.

00:46:53.570 --> 00:46:56.530
It's 3 -5 -0. So she called her. She goes, yeah,

00:46:56.630 --> 00:46:58.949
3 -5 -0. So she called me back in. She goes,

00:46:59.170 --> 00:47:01.710
I'm sorry I lost my temper with you. And we had

00:47:01.710 --> 00:47:04.010
a great session. Then I had another, I won't

00:47:04.010 --> 00:47:06.510
say her name, but great director. And she's like,

00:47:07.050 --> 00:47:14.230
I wasn't late. But it's the opposite. I had this

00:47:14.230 --> 00:47:16.170
audition. And then she says, no, no, no, no.

00:47:16.210 --> 00:47:19.739
I want. actors, not voice actors. And I go, Well,

00:47:19.739 --> 00:47:21.719
technically, I'm an actor. I'm not really I don't

00:47:21.719 --> 00:47:24.179
like to call myself a voice actor. Right? They

00:47:24.179 --> 00:47:26.239
made up that thing. I'm you're an actor who just

00:47:26.239 --> 00:47:28.780
happens to be amazing at voice. Thank you. Anyway,

00:47:29.639 --> 00:47:34.199
so. So anyway, so my agent says, Yeah, no. So

00:47:34.199 --> 00:47:37.659
we were doing a seminar together. And she said,

00:47:37.739 --> 00:47:39.739
and she goes, No, I want stage people. And I

00:47:39.739 --> 00:47:41.460
want people who, you know, have a television

00:47:41.460 --> 00:47:44.920
film background. So I'm on People are going,

00:47:44.920 --> 00:47:46.460
hey, where'd you start? And I said, well, you

00:47:46.460 --> 00:47:48.340
know, it's all the music thing. And then, and

00:47:48.340 --> 00:47:50.119
then the first thing I ever did was a play. And

00:47:50.119 --> 00:47:52.340
then I ended up working in television at my own

00:47:52.340 --> 00:47:54.599
television show and blah, blah, blah. And she's

00:47:54.599 --> 00:47:56.579
looking over and she goes, are you serious? And

00:47:56.579 --> 00:48:00.019
I go, yeah, she goes, oh, and I go, oh, about

00:48:00.019 --> 00:48:04.980
that job. Yeah. So two weeks later, I get a call

00:48:04.980 --> 00:48:08.550
in the studio and it was for I think it might

00:48:08.550 --> 00:48:11.190
have been for bad bar for the movie. Oh, okay.

00:48:11.210 --> 00:48:13.170
I go in there. It might not have been might been

00:48:13.170 --> 00:48:14.590
another show, but it might have been bad bar

00:48:14.590 --> 00:48:17.530
anyway, and she it was My call time was five

00:48:17.530 --> 00:48:21.769

the studio till seven thirty. I've got thirty

00:48:28.070 --> 00:48:32.190
some odd lines Wow, right and because the young

00:48:32.190 --> 00:48:35.510
lady that was in before me She took nearly two

00:48:35.510 --> 00:48:39.159
hours to do ten lines It just wasn't happening.

00:48:39.579 --> 00:48:42.000
So we get in, she goes, we're really late. We

00:48:42.000 --> 00:48:43.460
only have the studio for a half hour, then it

00:48:43.460 --> 00:48:46.260
closes. She goes, but she goes, I gotta tell

00:48:46.260 --> 00:48:49.440
you, if there's anybody I want to be with on

00:48:49.440 --> 00:48:51.480
a Friday night, and I've only got half hour to

00:48:51.480 --> 00:48:55.059
do 10 times as many lines as you. And it was

00:48:55.059 --> 00:48:58.199
great. And we, we submitted our friendship again.

00:48:58.579 --> 00:49:00.380
And she's like, I'm really sorry that other thing

00:49:00.380 --> 00:49:03.070
happened. I go. It's the business, you know.

00:49:03.389 --> 00:49:04.829
Right, right, right. It's the business. Yeah,

00:49:04.869 --> 00:49:07.070
so yeah, if you wanna do stuff like Lalo was

00:49:07.070 --> 00:49:11.090
asking about Poise and so was, who else was it?

00:49:11.289 --> 00:49:13.710
Sean. Sean. Sean. So if you wanna, you know,

00:49:13.809 --> 00:49:16.250
just have a good work ethic behind you and, you

00:49:16.250 --> 00:49:18.530
know, try not to, you know, you don't wanna make

00:49:18.530 --> 00:49:21.090
enemies in this business, but, you know, you

00:49:21.090 --> 00:49:24.050
will. Yeah. But, you know, and there's a lot

00:49:24.050 --> 00:49:27.900
of jealousy and stuff because, you know. It's

00:49:27.900 --> 00:49:30.179
like I said on this set of assault on precinct

00:49:30.179 --> 00:49:31.860
earning it was 13 I was hanging out with Dorian

00:49:31.860 --> 00:49:35.219
and was hanging out with fish and then you know,

00:49:35.300 --> 00:49:39.260
they're John like Osama was there and a Bunch

00:49:39.260 --> 00:49:42.159
of really cool people Ethan Hawk and then you

00:49:42.159 --> 00:49:44.340
know my buddy Kim coats and when they can hear

00:49:44.340 --> 00:49:46.880
you you do all these things and you can imitate

00:49:47.079 --> 00:49:50.300
like everybody right you get a really cool respected

00:49:50.300 --> 00:49:52.940
and that's a cool thing so you know work on if

00:49:52.940 --> 00:49:55.840
you're uh up and coming you want to work on your

00:49:55.840 --> 00:49:59.179
um scripts and and your uh improv and stuff and

00:49:59.179 --> 00:50:01.480
then also if you want to do more voice then you

00:50:01.480 --> 00:50:03.119
work on new different voices and if you just

00:50:03.119 --> 00:50:05.840
want to be a a straight reader like a book uh

00:50:05.840 --> 00:50:08.460
you know audiobook stuff yeah work on that and

00:50:08.460 --> 00:50:10.559
just like hone that in you know i'm the guy that

00:50:10.559 --> 00:50:12.659
does everything and i'm telling the opposite

00:50:12.659 --> 00:50:14.559
now is to try and hone in because the the world

00:50:14.559 --> 00:50:17.860
has shifted you know Right. I got a lot of again,

00:50:18.019 --> 00:50:20.940
but here you go. Is there any roles that you

00:50:20.940 --> 00:50:24.559
audition for that you ended up not getting and

00:50:24.559 --> 00:50:27.280
they became big roles for someone else? Well,

00:50:27.639 --> 00:50:29.639
originally Gambit. Right. Which Chris Potter

00:50:29.639 --> 00:50:32.139
was. But then I ended up getting after, which

00:50:32.139 --> 00:50:34.699
is I'm more than grateful as an actor. You know,

00:50:34.920 --> 00:50:37.179
we all praise, you know, we have the Oscars and

00:50:37.179 --> 00:50:39.059
the Emmys and stuff. I'm a member of the Emmys.

00:50:39.300 --> 00:50:41.440
And it's great and everything for the actors

00:50:41.440 --> 00:50:43.739
to win stuff. But truthfully, it's the people

00:50:43.739 --> 00:50:45.679
that put the money together to make these films

00:50:45.679 --> 00:50:48.219
and TV shows and stuff. They're the real heroes

00:50:48.219 --> 00:50:50.179
because that's hard to do. I couldn't raise that

00:50:50.179 --> 00:50:54.420
kind of money. But yeah, probably a lot of this.

00:50:54.960 --> 00:51:00.809
Just that one is like. pretty cool um i can't

00:51:00.809 --> 00:51:03.110
think of anything that was like really huge that

00:51:03.110 --> 00:51:05.929
i go uh you know i would have liked that i i

00:51:05.929 --> 00:51:07.690
never think in terms of that that's like you

00:51:07.690 --> 00:51:10.530
know you're right for the project or you know

00:51:10.530 --> 00:51:13.670
or somebody else is more right or right right

00:51:13.670 --> 00:51:17.750
yeah uh um as far as your fans has any of them

00:51:17.750 --> 00:51:20.579
come up to you and let them know that your roles

00:51:20.579 --> 00:51:23.059
in well anything you've come out on has affected

00:51:23.059 --> 00:51:24.880
their lives in some way like you know it was

00:51:24.880 --> 00:51:27.260
like a something important in their lives that

00:51:27.260 --> 00:51:30.159
they kept to heart yeah like a lot of the x -men

00:51:30.159 --> 00:51:33.760
fans um thank you because you know like i said

00:51:33.760 --> 00:51:35.920

you know um Touched their lives as like I said,

00:51:43.900 --> 00:51:47.239
my friend's a little kid with with the rescue

00:51:47.239 --> 00:51:50.159
heroes character helicopter Yeah, and then, you

00:51:50.159 --> 00:51:52.239
know Daniel tiger's neighborhood. I see kids

00:51:52.239 --> 00:51:54.679
in the elevator here when the building I'm living

00:51:54.679 --> 00:51:59.019
in here in New York and you're just like You

00:51:59.019 --> 00:52:01.159
know see a little kid and they watch the show

00:52:01.159 --> 00:52:04.239
and Chelsea Clinton's daughters our daughter

00:52:04.239 --> 00:52:07.300
and sons or she has three kids and we were at

00:52:07.300 --> 00:52:10.099
a Emmy thing and I ran into them one of my manager

00:52:10.099 --> 00:52:12.730
says Um, Hey, you have kids, right? Chelsea.

00:52:12.929 --> 00:52:15.789
She's like, yeah, she, she goes, Tony, Tony's

00:52:15.789 --> 00:52:18.469
the guy that voices, uh, X the owl from Daniel

00:52:18.469 --> 00:52:20.449
tigers. She goes, no way. And she gave me a big

00:52:20.449 --> 00:52:22.090
hug. And she goes, I said, you want me to do

00:52:22.090 --> 00:52:23.309
a little shout out for your kids? And I think

00:52:23.309 --> 00:52:26.110
they're Jasper and two other names anyway. So

00:52:26.110 --> 00:52:29.289
I go, ah, this is, uh, X the owl, Tony Daniels.

00:52:29.289 --> 00:52:30.949
And I just want to give a big shout out to y

00:52:30.949 --> 00:52:33.250
'all. And it was like, it went over like gangbusters

00:52:33.250 --> 00:52:36.070
for, you know, it's got nothing to do with politics

00:52:36.070 --> 00:52:39.550
and everything else. Cause I'm. Right. Because

00:52:39.550 --> 00:52:43.030
America, listen, uh, uh, uh, you know, when America,

00:52:43.630 --> 00:52:46.670
um, if America doesn't survive places like Canada

00:52:46.670 --> 00:52:48.869
and the UK and Germany and forget it, y 'all

00:52:48.869 --> 00:52:51.570
got to be gone. So, you know, America needs to

00:52:51.570 --> 00:52:54.210
survive as America, not a split country. Cause

00:52:54.210 --> 00:52:57.730
that's horrible. And, and, and, and, and it's

00:52:57.730 --> 00:52:59.570
funny. Cause we see that in the X -Men. That's

00:52:59.570 --> 00:53:01.969
what the whole idea about the X -Men is to bring,

00:53:02.489 --> 00:53:04.349
bring people together, you know, mutants or mutants,

00:53:04.710 --> 00:53:07.000
but you know, they're people too. Yeah, I hear

00:53:07.000 --> 00:53:12.920
you. Except for Beast. He's a beast. I mean,

00:53:13.900 --> 00:53:16.360
well, guy, you pretty much answered the last

00:53:16.360 --> 00:53:19.820
question I was going to ask. But anything for

00:53:19.820 --> 00:53:21.960
the fans, you would like to say a personal note

00:53:21.960 --> 00:53:24.880
for them that you want to leave behind there.

00:53:24.980 --> 00:53:27.579
I mean, something you want word of advice for

00:53:27.579 --> 00:53:30.619
future voice actors that are coming up in the

00:53:30.619 --> 00:53:38.420
industry. Love what you do. be a little tolerant,

00:53:39.019 --> 00:53:40.800
because you have to, it's part of the world.

00:53:42.280 --> 00:53:45.940
Tony Pastor and I used to say, to be successful

00:53:45.940 --> 00:53:50.059
in this business, you have to have the heart

00:53:50.059 --> 00:53:54.889
of a liberal. and the business acumen of a conservative

00:53:54.889 --> 00:53:57.710
so that you know because it's a business and

00:53:57.710 --> 00:53:59.849
but you got to be a good actor you have to let

00:53:59.849 --> 00:54:04.190
the emotions in and I think just be a good person

00:54:04.190 --> 00:54:07.090
and you know try and make people laugh every

00:54:07.090 --> 00:54:10.010
day if you can yeah because it makes you it makes

00:54:10.010 --> 00:54:13.510
you a better person you know and what's the other

00:54:13.510 --> 00:54:19.400
thing oh yeah don't touch the brown acid Wait

00:54:19.400 --> 00:54:24.139
a minute, that's from Woodstock, forget it. Oh

00:54:24.139 --> 00:54:26.420
my gosh, man. No, I do ask it every day, but

00:54:26.420 --> 00:54:32.219
it's citrus. Pass me some orange juice, honey.

00:54:33.500 --> 00:54:37.199
Make sure you add extra cubes. He's sitting right

00:54:37.199 --> 00:54:42.239
beside you. Oh, Q. There you go, I think that's

00:54:42.239 --> 00:54:47.579
a compliment. I mean, is there any questions

00:54:47.579 --> 00:54:49.920
you want to ask him? Because these are, I don't

00:54:49.920 --> 00:54:52.239
know. Come on. Your name is quiz. You got to

00:54:52.239 --> 00:54:56.639
quiz me. Yeah. Come on quiz quiz. Well, like

00:54:56.639 --> 00:54:59.500
you've already like answered what I was going

00:54:59.500 --> 00:55:03.340
to ask. Cause I am any roles I ever hated. Oh

00:55:03.340 --> 00:55:06.519
yeah. Every rose you ever hated. I was about

00:55:06.519 --> 00:55:13.429
to ask him my question. Any roles that you ever

00:55:13.429 --> 00:55:17.510
hated. Oh my goodness. This one's now You know,

00:55:17.510 --> 00:55:20.809
are you allowed to even say something? Now there's

00:55:20.809 --> 00:55:25.510
nothing ever hated From going in and doing one

00:55:25.510 --> 00:55:27.610
line to doing a hundred thousand lines. It doesn't

00:55:27.610 --> 00:55:30.469
matter One of the things I do love though still

00:55:30.469 --> 00:55:33.409
is I have a friend Dan thank here and a really

00:55:33.409 --> 00:55:38.000
good friend to as well Fabiana Aritzia Arastia,

00:55:38.000 --> 00:55:42.380
I was out there shopping the other day, Arastia.

00:55:42.900 --> 00:55:46.320
They cast it and Sue and a couple of other folks

00:55:46.320 --> 00:55:50.320
that we deal with on the casting of ADR. So ADR

00:55:50.320 --> 00:55:53.280
looping, which I love doing. So I've looped for

00:55:53.280 --> 00:55:56.440
a lot of people. In fact, I think I can tell

00:55:56.440 --> 00:56:01.099
you, for Mare of Kingstown with Stallone, I was

00:56:01.099 --> 00:56:02.920
in there one day and they go, oh, we're missing

00:56:02.920 --> 00:56:06.960
a line from the slides. Well, let's just do it.

00:56:07.019 --> 00:56:12.039
You know, so we do it and there's been some good

00:56:12.039 --> 00:56:14.840
ones. Like I did, I got to do like over 30 lines

00:56:14.840 --> 00:56:18.860
for Christoph Waltz in tool of fever. Wow. With

00:56:18.860 --> 00:56:21.699
the German accent. Yeah. And then, um, you know,

00:56:21.760 --> 00:56:23.719
like some of those are cool. I had to replace

00:56:23.719 --> 00:56:26.320
one of the hardest ones I've ever had to do was,

00:56:26.320 --> 00:56:30.699
um, uh, Kevin Dylan. Cause he doesn't really

00:56:30.699 --> 00:56:33.380
got a voice. I mean, those guys have a bit of

00:56:33.380 --> 00:56:35.539
a New York thing going on, but they don't really

00:56:35.539 --> 00:56:37.420
have like distinct, distinct voices. Like, you

00:56:37.420 --> 00:56:40.360
know, Schwarzenegger and you know, Pacino and

00:56:40.360 --> 00:56:42.880
those guys, but those are the hard ones to do.

00:56:43.059 --> 00:56:44.360
And you know, there's a lot of good guys out

00:56:44.360 --> 00:56:48.800
there. Like a, which is named the kid. Matt friend.

00:56:48.920 --> 00:56:50.440
Is that his name? He's doing a ton of voices.

00:56:50.440 --> 00:56:53.000
There's great voices. And so, you know, but when

00:56:53.000 --> 00:56:55.619
you're doing it for a film and stuff, it's that's

00:56:55.619 --> 00:56:57.760
really super rewarding. And some of the really

00:56:57.760 --> 00:57:00.579
cool ones are like when you get to go in for

00:57:00.579 --> 00:57:03.260
like 11 minutes, you get paid for the whole day

00:57:03.260 --> 00:57:05.719
because they've got you in doing one specific

00:57:05.719 --> 00:57:07.780
voice and they don't want to blow your voice

00:57:07.780 --> 00:57:09.780
out. So you just go in and do that. I mean, even

00:57:09.780 --> 00:57:12.739
on the movie NIAID that's out right now, it's

00:57:12.739 --> 00:57:15.139
really cool with Jodie Foster and Annette Betting,

00:57:15.219 --> 00:57:17.699
who, by the way, just phenomenal actors. I mean,

00:57:17.699 --> 00:57:20.139
look at these people go. This is this is real

00:57:20.139 --> 00:57:22.099
acting like Ed Harris. I love Ed Harris, you

00:57:22.099 --> 00:57:25.239
know, then I mean, Jodie Foster is a big star

00:57:25.239 --> 00:57:27.460
and Susanette Benning. But these are roles where

00:57:27.460 --> 00:57:29.059
you don't even think about them as their people.

00:57:29.059 --> 00:57:31.639
And that's where they separate the star from

00:57:31.639 --> 00:57:34.519
the from the act. And I love that kind of stuff.

00:57:34.599 --> 00:57:36.940
And doing the ADR is pretty cool because, you

00:57:36.940 --> 00:57:39.619
know, you get to play other people's stuff in

00:57:39.619 --> 00:57:42.260
interpreting their interpretation of what the

00:57:42.260 --> 00:57:44.940
character is doing. That's even harder. So, yeah.

00:57:45.230 --> 00:57:48.630
yeah when we did sailor moon talk about sort

00:57:48.630 --> 00:57:50.449
of interpretation you have to take what's on

00:57:50.449 --> 00:57:53.409
the screen which is in japanese basically and

00:57:53.409 --> 00:57:55.530
that's what i was about to ask you like when

00:57:55.530 --> 00:57:57.929
it comes to like cartoons when it comes to video

00:57:57.929 --> 00:58:00.949
games as well like how how does that process

00:58:00.949 --> 00:58:04.309
go video games are a little different i love

00:58:04.309 --> 00:58:05.949
video games because you're very rarely doing

00:58:05.949 --> 00:58:10.929
pickups um but um But video games are cool. Like

00:58:10.929 --> 00:58:14.010
I did a video game out a couple of years ago

00:58:14.010 --> 00:58:15.530
called The Maze. I don't know if you guys seen

00:58:15.530 --> 00:58:18.409
that. Look it up. The Maze. And I'm playing Russian

00:58:18.409 --> 00:58:24.380
Bird. So shut your stupid ugly face anyway. And

00:58:24.380 --> 00:58:27.260
I got a call from my agent that day after we

00:58:27.260 --> 00:58:29.420
finished and I had learned a bunch of the Russian

00:58:29.420 --> 00:58:31.320
stuff. I already kind of knew it from before,

00:58:31.320 --> 00:58:34.960
but I had to relearn some of the stuff and my

00:58:34.960 --> 00:58:36.900
agent calls. And when she, when she nine one

00:58:36.900 --> 00:58:39.099
ones me, I'm like, oh boy, I must have swore

00:58:39.099 --> 00:58:41.739
on the studio or, you know, pick my nose. I don't

00:58:41.739 --> 00:58:45.159
know. Whatever. So, so she's like, this has never

00:58:45.159 --> 00:58:47.719
happened in all these years, 30 years as an agent.

00:58:47.860 --> 00:58:51.159
I go, what is it? What'd I do? She goes, they're

00:58:51.159 --> 00:58:53.659
doubling your pay. Cause you learned the Russian.

00:58:54.519 --> 00:58:58.380
I'm like, Whoa. So I made, so yeah, I made seven

00:58:58.380 --> 00:59:05.440
bucks anyway. But it was cool. It's like, Yeah.

00:59:05.719 --> 00:59:07.579
So, you know, I went that extra distance and

00:59:07.579 --> 00:59:09.679
it really helped. It didn't just pay off, you

00:59:09.679 --> 00:59:11.500
know, monetarily, but also paid off in my heart

00:59:11.500 --> 00:59:14.820
because I love doing it. So and video games are

00:59:14.820 --> 00:59:16.699
cool that way because you're reading from a script,

00:59:16.780 --> 00:59:20.300
you're single. Now to do dubbing, you make way

00:59:20.300 --> 00:59:22.260
less money and you're working harder because

00:59:22.260 --> 00:59:24.300
like, and especially in things like Sailor Moon,

00:59:24.460 --> 00:59:26.980
we see do this system called Rhythmo Band. Now

00:59:26.980 --> 00:59:30.159
I've done every kind of side. You know, like

00:59:30.159 --> 00:59:34.230
I do with Chinese. kung fu movie one time when

00:59:34.230 --> 00:59:36.809
I'm in early my career and I get in there and

00:59:36.809 --> 00:59:39.510
you know it's like hey you still said you want

00:59:39.510 --> 00:59:44.849
to hide me I'll kill you you know so you guys

00:59:44.849 --> 00:59:48.230
you guys seem to get down right yes okay you

00:59:48.230 --> 00:59:50.800
know You know this voice, you ready? They actually

00:59:50.800 --> 00:59:53.280
wrote this for me. It's like, you're watching

00:59:53.280 --> 00:59:59.699
Shaolin Fantastic. Guys, if you're listening

00:59:59.699 --> 01:00:01.880
to this on Spotify, you need to jump on YouTube

01:00:01.880 --> 01:00:05.179
to see this. It's a great show too. All those

01:00:05.179 --> 01:00:08.039
actors were amazing. And they had actually written

01:00:08.039 --> 01:00:10.980
a part for me to do that. The Shaolin Fantastic,

01:00:11.260 --> 01:00:13.960
you know, and I was doing the Kung Fu movie guy.

01:00:14.199 --> 01:00:16.579
But this first Kung Fu movie. I ever did like

01:00:16.579 --> 01:00:19.920
it was like really long. And, you know, we got

01:00:19.920 --> 01:00:21.699
four and a half, five hours booked for them for

01:00:21.699 --> 01:00:25.500
the movie to finish the ADR. And I was there

01:00:25.500 --> 01:00:29.199
and it was it was going really well. And then

01:00:29.199 --> 01:00:31.760
they go, now we got a 25 minute fight scene.

01:00:31.760 --> 01:00:33.860
I'm like, Oh, God, because a lot of times you'll

01:00:33.860 --> 01:00:36.719
have to watch the thing and redo it right hours.

01:00:36.960 --> 01:00:39.920
So 25 minutes, I'm not going to watch a 20. What

01:00:39.920 --> 01:00:44.840
happens? I die. You die. I die. Yeah. Okay. Great.

01:00:44.880 --> 01:00:47.420
Roll it. I'll chase it. And it went, I went,

01:00:47.619 --> 01:00:50.820
oh, you know, we, we did the whole 25 minute

01:00:50.820 --> 01:00:55.079
fight scene at the end. I die. And they go, holy

01:00:55.079 --> 01:00:59.639
crap. One take. That was amazing. It's amazing.

01:00:59.820 --> 01:01:03.880
It's like, I died. But it was fun. But those,

01:01:03.960 --> 01:01:05.400
those, those are the kinds of things I like.

01:01:05.400 --> 01:01:07.239
Like, especially with the ADR and stuff, getting

01:01:07.239 --> 01:01:10.420
to do some really cool, funky stuff like, um,

01:01:10.780 --> 01:01:13.239
Uh, I was just telling Jody hill from, uh, we

01:01:13.239 --> 01:01:14.980
were at the righteous gemstones a couple of weeks

01:01:14.980 --> 01:01:18.360
ago for a, for an FYC. And I, I saw Jody and

01:01:18.360 --> 01:01:21.480
remembered me from, uh, from Ballota white tail

01:01:21.480 --> 01:01:23.980
deer hunter. And at the opening he goes, so I

01:01:23.980 --> 01:01:26.239
need this voice. It's, uh, because of Josh Brolin

01:01:26.239 --> 01:01:29.199
is playing like a, it's a spoof of a hunting

01:01:29.199 --> 01:01:32.659
show because it's this voice on a sportsman or

01:01:32.659 --> 01:01:34.980
outdoor channel and the guys like American marksman.

01:01:35.099 --> 01:01:37.960
I go. You mean American marksman. He goes, that's

01:01:37.960 --> 01:01:41.619
the guy. I go, that's me. And they go, holy crap.

01:01:41.860 --> 01:01:45.460
You're the guy. So it was great. So we did like

01:01:45.460 --> 01:01:47.280
one, one take or something. And I was only there

01:01:47.280 --> 01:01:49.219
for like a half hour. It was, it was really cool.

01:01:49.480 --> 01:01:52.579
I get to work on a movie called the, um, the

01:01:52.579 --> 01:01:54.500
immortal life of Henrietta Lacks. Have you guys

01:01:54.500 --> 01:01:56.880
seen that? It's really cool. It's about the,

01:01:56.880 --> 01:01:59.480
uh, uh, this was a black woman from the fifties

01:01:59.480 --> 01:02:03.119
whose, um, cancer cells are what all cancer cells

01:02:03.119 --> 01:02:10.320
are judged. So I went in and the director, George

01:02:10.320 --> 01:02:14.119
Wolf, real tough guy, tough Broadway director,

01:02:15.119 --> 01:02:18.400
my producer director, casting director says,

01:02:18.659 --> 01:02:19.840
when you go in there, don't talk to the guy,

01:02:19.880 --> 01:02:21.219
don't say nothing. He doesn't want to know you.

01:02:21.559 --> 01:02:24.099
I'm like, okay, you know, I've got a big mouth,

01:02:24.119 --> 01:02:27.000
but this is cool. So I get in there. I knew the

01:02:27.000 --> 01:02:28.699
sound engineer. So we said hi. I went in and

01:02:28.699 --> 01:02:30.739
he goes, all right, do your thing. So I do it.

01:02:30.820 --> 01:02:35.469
He goes, that's pretty good. Uh, try it like

01:02:35.469 --> 01:02:38.929
this. So I do it. He goes, uh, try one more.

01:02:39.429 --> 01:02:41.369
You're amazing. Thank you. And I'm like, okay.

01:02:41.530 --> 01:02:43.469
Thanks. So I leave. Then they got a call from

01:02:43.469 --> 01:02:47.030
my, uh, Cassidy. Get back there. What can hurry

01:02:47.030 --> 01:02:49.190
get back? So I go, Oh shit. I must've screwed

01:02:49.190 --> 01:02:51.929
up. Right. So I get back and he goes, I was impressed

01:02:51.929 --> 01:02:54.250
with you. Can we do another voice for something

01:02:54.250 --> 01:02:56.440
else? And I go, sure. So it was really cool,

01:02:56.599 --> 01:02:58.739
you know? And then I got to tell him, I go, oh,

01:02:58.739 --> 01:03:01.239
yeah. And then I said, I was really connected

01:03:01.239 --> 01:03:04.900
to this project because my boy, Billy, he's a

01:03:04.900 --> 01:03:09.260
research scientist down in San Diego. He's got

01:03:09.260 --> 01:03:12.440
Henrietta Lacks' cancer in his leg. He dropped

01:03:12.440 --> 01:03:15.320
a Petri dish and the cancer cut the skin and

01:03:15.320 --> 01:03:17.679
went right in his leg. And you can't catch someone

01:03:17.679 --> 01:03:20.820
else's cancer because cancer is strictly to your

01:03:20.820 --> 01:03:24.409
DNA. Right. But it just grows and shrinks in

01:03:24.409 --> 01:03:27.269
his leg all the time. It's a freaking weird story.

01:03:27.349 --> 01:03:31.130
I'm going to write a movie about it. Wow. That's

01:03:31.130 --> 01:03:36.050
awesome. Oh, Mr. Dias, we are coming upon an

01:03:36.050 --> 01:03:39.030
hour and three minutes. What? I mean... It's

01:03:39.030 --> 01:03:41.190
very rare when I... What the heck is this guy

01:03:41.190 --> 01:03:44.429
texting me here, man? Get out of here. It's very

01:03:44.429 --> 01:03:46.349
rare when they're texting me on my phone and

01:03:46.349 --> 01:03:49.150
on the computer. It's very rare when we have

01:03:49.150 --> 01:03:51.110
interviews go this long, because most of the

01:03:51.110 --> 01:03:54.050
time it's like, all right, we only do about an

01:03:54.050 --> 01:03:56.489
hour and then we talk afterwards. But this is

01:03:56.489 --> 01:03:58.050
just amazing. This is Tony Daniels. This is Tony

01:03:58.050 --> 01:04:00.570
Daniels here, man. Tony freaking Daniels. Well,

01:04:00.630 --> 01:04:05.409

And it has there been a podcast where people

01:04:08.019 --> 01:04:11.579
fall asleep on the mic? No, no, no, no. But this

01:04:11.579 --> 01:04:13.900

01:04:16.539 --> 01:04:17.900

01:05:52.480 --> 01:05:55.400
So Marcus, my first question is, what's it like

01:05:55.400 --> 01:05:57.159
when you write a movie like this? And he's like,

01:05:57.219 --> 01:06:01.880
huh? What? And he's freaking out. And I go, and

01:06:01.880 --> 01:06:06.159
I found an old German commercial and I go, Oh,

01:06:06.179 --> 01:06:08.380
that's a fantastic. Hang on. I've got to go to

01:06:08.380 --> 01:06:14.179
a commercial. And you hear it playing on. And

01:06:14.179 --> 01:06:16.780
that was it. And he's like, what the hell's going

01:06:16.780 --> 01:06:20.739
on? Chill out, dude, we're broadcasting live

01:06:20.739 --> 01:06:25.659
in Germany. The podcast never went air because

01:06:25.659 --> 01:06:28.940
the kid hit the wrong button and it didn't save.

01:06:29.119 --> 01:06:33.119
Oh my gosh, no. What? So we had to redo it and

01:06:33.119 --> 01:06:35.679
we couldn't. We were laughing so hard at the

01:06:35.679 --> 01:06:38.139
end of it. We had to give it away and now he

01:06:38.139 --> 01:06:42.420
knew who it was so we couldn't. Oh, man. I think

01:06:42.420 --> 01:06:44.699
I've had a couple of podcasts like that where

01:06:44.699 --> 01:06:47.610
it's a great interview and all of a sudden. They're

01:06:47.610 --> 01:06:51.849
like, no, no, it does not just kick me out. Wow.

01:06:52.130 --> 01:06:55.250
Exactly, right? Oh, it's tough. Yes. Well, thank

01:06:55.250 --> 01:06:59.010

So I can... Ah, there we go. I got to get that

01:07:10.030 --> 01:07:15.579

01:07:43.659 --> 01:07:46.019

01:07:51.179 --> 01:07:54.400
got tequila in the studio for you. Oh, no, no.

01:07:54.480 --> 01:07:56.909
What do you got? Anything good? Oh, it's, we

01:07:58.750 --> 01:08:00.389
are on the border. Look at me. I'm in New York.

01:08:00.409 --> 01:08:02.750
What'd we get? And then they go, Hey man, we've

01:08:02.750 --> 01:08:05.610

01:08:05.610 --> 01:08:11.650
my motorcycle. So we got, we got some, we got

01:08:11.650 --> 01:08:15.909
some good Patron. I love you. Great. Now we lost

01:08:15.909 --> 01:08:19.979
that sponge. All right. Edit that out, man. Hey,

01:08:20.720 --> 01:08:24.239
Uncle Tito's. What are those brown cues you're

01:08:24.239 --> 01:08:28.760
talking about? What are we saying? My English

01:08:28.760 --> 01:08:34.619
is no good. Mr. Dias, thank you so much. We really

01:08:34.619 --> 01:08:38.989
appreciate you coming on. Continue doing what

01:08:38.989 --> 01:08:40.609
you're doing. We'll do it again sometime. Never,

01:08:41.069 --> 01:08:44.170
don't change, man. You're amazing. Great person,

01:08:44.210 --> 01:08:46.310
personality. You're right. I better change this.

01:08:46.369 --> 01:08:49.710
Or shower -wise, that's optional. No, never,

01:08:49.869 --> 01:08:53.350
never. There you go. You guys wanted to know

01:08:53.350 --> 01:08:57.590
one of my foibles. I've been good lately, but

01:08:57.590 --> 01:08:59.930
I used to shower like four to seven times a day.

01:09:00.069 --> 01:09:03.430
I'm not kidding you. I just can't stand. That's

01:09:03.430 --> 01:09:05.130
good. Well, especially because you would be in

01:09:05.130 --> 01:09:07.609
a studio. I'll tell you one little quick anecdote.

01:09:08.029 --> 01:09:09.590
I was in a studio on a Sailor Moon thing and

01:09:09.590 --> 01:09:12.810
it was one of the coolest actors. They're all

01:09:12.810 --> 01:09:15.729
all really good actors. But this girl is she's

01:09:15.729 --> 01:09:17.510
stunning and she's really lovely and wonderful

01:09:17.510 --> 01:09:20.029
and everything. And we go take a go for lunch

01:09:20.029 --> 01:09:22.489
break. We were back in the studio and this booth

01:09:22.489 --> 01:09:25.510
was no bigger than my booth here. And then I'm

01:09:25.510 --> 01:09:30.890
like. Oh, and she's like, are you OK? And I go.

01:09:31.619 --> 01:09:33.720
Did you have Caesar salad for lunch? She goes?

01:09:33.920 --> 01:09:36.760
Yeah, I go. Oh my god garlic overload. It was

01:09:36.760 --> 01:09:40.119
oh No, and then she realized oh my god my god.

01:09:40.260 --> 01:09:42.220
Yeah, she's like, oh, what am I gonna do? I go

01:09:42.220 --> 01:09:44.380
I think they got gum or something out there.

01:09:44.640 --> 01:09:47.819
Don't She leaves the booth. I'm like get fans

01:09:47.819 --> 01:09:52.930
in here. It's horrible It's like, you know If

01:09:52.930 --> 01:09:54.789
I was, if I wasn't dating somebody at the time,

01:09:54.810 --> 01:09:57.510
she's like the girl of your dreams and you know,

01:09:57.789 --> 01:10:00.229
but it was cute. She, she got a kick out of it.

01:10:00.229 --> 01:10:02.430
I always tease her later to go, hi, how are you?

01:10:02.489 --> 01:10:07.050
How's it going? You're looking out that portal.

01:10:07.090 --> 01:10:11.350
I'm like, save me. Oh, it was like the door closes.

01:10:11.350 --> 01:10:18.029
Like all of a sudden. And I'm bad. Cause my wife

01:10:18.029 --> 01:10:20.329
gets mad at me. Cause like I can, you know, I'll

01:10:20.329 --> 01:10:22.779
come home and she's like, I go. Do you have garlic?

01:10:22.859 --> 01:10:26.800
She goes, I had a potato chip. Uh huh. And I

01:10:26.800 --> 01:10:28.720
can eat a case of, yeah, I can eat a case of

01:10:28.720 --> 01:10:30.760
them with the olester and, and, you know, keel

01:10:30.760 --> 01:10:33.000
over from cholesterol, but I can eat a case of,

01:10:33.000 --> 01:10:36.539
of garlic chips. And she'll be like, you didn't

01:10:36.539 --> 01:10:39.720
have garlic chips. I go, yeah, I can't smell

01:10:39.720 --> 01:10:42.220
anything. I go, is this Spanish blood? It gets

01:10:42.220 --> 01:10:46.939
sucked in. It's that real mix. Hey, we're all
