Jack Coleman: Well, Jeph Loeb, who was a writer and producer on Heroes called me and said "Do you want to come in and play Dr. Strange?" And I said, absolutely—so that's as far as that conversation went.
I know what my answer would be if someone asked me if I wanted to come in and play with him...ahem..what were we talking about?
The whole voiceover world is new and different to me and quite challenging. So when Jeph called I was eager to do it.
I totally love this...
Geek: Yeah, looking through your very extensive credits, you've done all kinds of roles but this is your first VO job. What about this particular challenge was appealing to you?
Coleman: Well, it's a completely different style of acting. When we first did it, there was no animation. I just read the scenes [with] of course four people who are A., familiar with doing animated work and B. know their characters well and it's second nature. But it was not at all second nature to me, I had not done a lot of voiceover work.
Oh yes. We believe him...
I had to sort of catch up and learn on the fly. And honestly, when I went in and did ADR, which is additional recording when you do afterwards, I was very glad to have a chance to redo some of it. Because once I saw the animation and could sort of tie the dialog to the action and the look of the character and hear all of the voices coming from [the other actors'] characters, then it became a completely different thing—it was much closer to the acting that I know. So there was a learning curve, I had not done a lot of voiceover work and I had a lot to learn.
He can just talk hours and I can listen to him forever...The way he describes his experience...it's so sexy. He's a newbie...That's sexy too...
