i love useless special interests! for example i realized recently that voice actors/voice acting is one of my lifelong special interests and i LOVE when i hear a narration in an ad that sounds like just a generic Narrator Voice but i immediately know (or at least have a suspicion of) who it is. the key bank ad on hulu came on and i almost immediately recognized the narrator as katey sagal (tbf im obsessed with futurama but i actually didn't clock her until a specific inflection change halfway into the ad and i suddenly heard leela and peggy bundy talking at me). recently there was an apple watch ad that had ty burrell. and another one, i don't remember what the ad was for (possibly metro pcs?), that i'm 99% sure was retta. my ears prick up like a dog when i recognize a voice. i will likely never have any actual productive use for this knowledge other than creeping out my friends but i like having it anyway

#ads are evil but i am allowed to find some joy. #mia.txt #im annoying to watch cartoons with bc i have to interrupt every few minutes to provide background on specific voice actors #and list several of their different roles in other shows #'li'l gideon is voiced by thurop van orman who is the creator of the misadventures of flapjack as well as the voice of flapjack. captain #k'nuckles is voiced by bill murray's brother brian doyle murray. he played the boss in christmas vacation as well as a ton of other roles #bubbie the whale is voiced by roz ryan who played among other roles the muse thalia in hercules. the voice of megara in that movie #was susan egan who played lin in spirited away! chihiro was voiced by daveigh chase who played lilo amd haku was james marsden #who has been the voice of max goof since 1995 and many other roles. and also li'l gideon's dad is played by stephen root who #played bill dauterive in king of the hill as well as lots of secondary characters. sorry you can unpause it now' #< me very recently #it had been a while since i did that and it felt so good. the previous voice actor infodump i committed was in response to a carvana ad #featuring rob corddry and brian huskey #bc then i had to start talking about bobs burgers and also about fallout new vegas bc rob corddry had a minor role in it #another example: i was watching a ride through video of the E.T. ride at universal studios and recognized billy west as one of the cops #tbf he was doing the zapp brannigan voice so its Intermediate Level recognition at best 😔 smh #CORRECTION BTW I MEAN JASON MARSDEN NOT JAMES MARSDEN!!!
