As a follow up to my post from a couple weeks ago entitled Nocturna: I got the part! Today I went into Sonoblok and recorded the voice of Mr. Pee for Filmax Animation’s feature-length film Nocturna.
I’m very happy to have been cast in this role, but the job wasn’t everything I had hoped it would be. The directors were all great to work with, I had a few laughs with the other actors, and Mr. Pee is definitely my favorite character, but I didn’t realize what a small role he had in the film. Whereas some actors were called in to record their parts over the course of three days, I wrapped mine up in two hours. I could have done it quicker, but other actors were called in at the same time and we had to share the studio. I know, I know: there are no small parts; only small actors. Well, all characters are not created equal and behind every great role is a great paycheck. But heck, even though I won’t exactly be laughing all the way to the bank, but I’ll certainly smile all the way to a nice dinner for two.
