Celebrity Voices

I can’t stand this guy’s voice. Which makes it unfortunate that he is so ubiquitous. I also can’t stand the AFLAC commercials. Until today though I never realized that they were the same voice. I guess it was a case of willful ignorance that I failed to notice. I usually [...]

This is an interesting one. Charles Shaughnessy was Maxwell Sheffield on the Nanny for 6 years opposite Fran Drescher. Now, among other things, he is the fifth Baron Shaughnessy. How many sitcoms can claim to have starred royalty(Canadian Royalty, but still)? He is also fairly well known as Shane Donovan is [...]

Today I heard a familiar voice on TV, John Corbet.  He was doing the voice over in an Applebees commercial.  John played Chris Stevens, Sicily’s Morning DJ, on Northern Exposure for five years.  I really liked the show.  It seems that there are not enough quirky, interesting shows like that on TV(actually, these days that [...]

My favorite movie of 2008 was the Dark Kight. I saw it in theaters and then I got the DVD as soon as it came out and watched it a couple more times. It’s safe to say I am a fan. While Heath Ledger got all the kudos for his superb performance [...]

It’s Tim “The Tool Man Taylor” Allen! It’s always time for tool time. I used to watch that show when I was a kid. Then he started making those Santa movies which at first were cute but by the third(?) one they seemed more like a paycheck picture. He also is [...]

Keifer Sutherland is currently the star of 24. He started out the son of Donald Sutherland and was a brat packer in the 80’s. He starred in the cheestastic Lost Boys with Jason Patric and the Coreys. Recently he served time in an LA Jail for DUI (what is wrong with celebrities [...]

Carlos Alazraqui is a voice you’ve heard a thousand times but probably didn’t realize it.  I think he is best known for his work in front of the camera James Garcia in Reno 911.  However, he has dozens of voice credits in many cartoons.  These include Fairly Odd Parents (he is the teacher Mr. Crocker) [...]

Randy Quaid has been in about a zillions movies and tv shows.  He is equally capable of playing the goofy, dimwitted loser as playing a smary, sleazy asshole.  See, respectively, National Lampoon’s Vacation and Days of Thunder.  He’s got a very impressive list of credits and he is the voice over talent of Captial One [...]

Most of you aren’t old enough to remember, hell, I’m not even old enough to remember, Sally Kellerman played Hot Lips Houlilhan in the movie version of M*A*S*H.  She also was the love interest of Rodney Dangerfield in Back to School, which most of you have probably seen while sitting at home bored, watching Comedy [...]

James Spade is the voice of Acura. He is also a pretty good actor. I first became aware of him when I saw him in Sex, Lies, and Videotape (during my independent film phase, I really got into Soderbergh). The first time I probably saw him though was in his small role [...]
