This is my first on a favorite piece from The Onion. I will try — but cannot and will not promise — to avoid letting this blog becoming nothing but posts linking to Onion goodness.
This one’s a short video. Headline: “Girl Raised from Birth by Wolf Blitzer Taken into Protective Custody.” And the child’s performance is fantastic.
Well, I’m here to report that I’ve seen the future of the past and I’m overjoyed to announce that I’m a part of it (so all of you can rest your pretty little heads at night).
What the hell is Mapother going on about now? I recently completed some voice work for the much-anticipated (Oct. 19) videogame “Fallout: New Vegas.” The game is set in a post-apocalyptic 1950’s Las Vegas, with all the wonders and wonderfulness that conjures for you. The troupes and tribes are all they’re cracked up to be, and the script and team were a blast to work with. It was the first vidgame v.o. I’d done since working on “The Secret World,” and I’d forgotten how much I’d missed it.
Even if videogames aren’t your thing, how can you not like a dang videogame trailer (here) whose soundtrack is Kay Kyser’s “(I Got Spurs That) Jingle, Jangle, Jingle”?
You are not alone..
A view of — and from — the Newport News, VA airport. Rocking chairs in an airport. What a great idea.
WordGirl, the animated show which teaches kids vocabulary words, is re-airing my episode (see post here) as part of “weeklong programming event”: ‘There’s a New Villain in Town.’ There’s an article on the weeklong shows here.
The episodes run July 19-23 on PBS and feature several fan favorites, which apparently (aww, shucks) include mine. Another ep includes the voice of Ed Asner (‘Up!’).
Over there to the right is my beloved villain, Guy Rich. WordGirl a terrific show, even for those over four years old, intellectually or emotionally. Check your local listings, please.
