A Voice turns 59

By
Today we celebrate the 59th birthday of a man who has been working of and on with Amblin, LucasFilm and DreamWorks (among many others) for the past 25 years. His filmography lists over 400 acting credits, over a time-span of a little over 30 years.

But even with all those films and TV-series that he has (co-) starred in, his face remains a mystery to the most of us.


The birthday-boy we're talking about today is Rob Paulsen, who provided various voices for Amblin- and DreamWorks-series such as: Tiny Toon Adventures (Arnold the Pit Bull, Concord Condor, Fowlmouth, Banjo Possum, Beaver), The Plucky Duck Show (Mr. Bughari, Furrball, Bus driver) Pinky & the Brain (Pinky, 3-Pinky-O, Yakk Soho), Freakazoid (Yakko Warner, Cosmo Kramer, Pinky), Animaniacs (Yakko Warner, Pinky, Dr. Scratchansniff), Pinky, Elmyra & the Brain (Pinky), Casper (Spooky, Stretch), and, more recently: The Penguins of Madagascar (Archie, Stockbroker, Lobster #1, and more), Kung Fu Panda: The Legend of Awesomeness (Han Sr.), as well as various Animaniacs and Star Wars Videogames.



Paulsen was born on March the 11th, 1956 in Detroit, Michigan, in the US. He is currently married to Parrish Todd and has one son (Ashton). In 1995, he was nominated for an Annie Award in Outstanding Individual Achievement for Voice Acting in the Field of Animation, for his work as Yakko Warner in Animaniacs .




We've tried to come up with a couple of stills of some of the characters he has voiced over the years, to give you all a small impression of what this man is capable of. 

Just remember: all of these characters originate from one and the same person !

Dr.Scratchansniff (Animaniacs)

Banjo Possum (Tiny Toons)

Spooky (Casper (1996-1998))

Furrball (Tiny Toons /The Plucky Duck Show)

Pinky (Animaniacs / Pinky & the Brain / Pinky, Elmyra & the Brain)

Banjo Possum (Tiny Toons)



3-Pinky-O (Pinky & the Brain)

Concord Condor (Tiny Toons)


Mr. Bughari (The Plucky Duck Show)

Foulmouth (Tiny Toons)



Han SR. (Kung Fu Panda, the TV-series)
Arnold, The Pitbull (Tiny Toons)

Archer (The Penguins from Madagascar)

Johnny Pew (Tiny Toons)
Commander Cody (Lego Star Wars, The Padawan Menace)




That's all Folks.

Did Paul Freeman Accidentally Eat A Fly In Raiders of the Lost Ark?

By
The Famous Indiana Jones Fly In Belloq's Mouth Scene.  Did It Really Happen? I've always wondered if Paul Freeman unintentionally consumed a fly in this scene in  Raiders of the Lost Ark ?  It's the scene where Indiana Jones shouts down to Bellosh...I mean Belloq and threatens to blow up the ark.  Did a fly go in his mouth? I remember watching this scene back in the early eighties and my ten year old mind thought he definitely had a snack while filming.  I recall talking about 'flygate' in my school playground at the time and the general consensus with my friends was that Freeman definitely had a sneaky snack. Paul Freeman talks about the famous 'fly' scene in an interview with TheIndyExperience.com  and settled 'flygate:' This is a bit of a dicey question so don’t get too upset. (Laughs) A movie’s always got bloopers in it, some have a lot, and some only have three or four. And the most remarkable blooper was right before the opening of th...

Explaining That "Weird" Cut In Poltergeist. Read The Missing Scene

By
Why Is There A Strange Cut In The 1982 Horror Classic, Poltergeist? If you're a fan of the 1982 Horror classic, Poltergeist then you will be very familiar with that "weird" cut in the movie.  It's 32 minutes and 47 seconds in to the movie and the scene is where Diane is explaining the strange phenomenon that is happening in the kitchen.  First, she shows to Steve a chair scraping across the floor all on its own then she does the same with Carol Anne.  Steve leans up against the kitchen wall and is completely shocked at what just happened.  It's at this point Diane starts to explain the sensation of being pulled and then...A very abrupt cut.  One moment we are listening to Diane and suddenly it cuts to Diane and Steve at their next door neighbours door.  Why the sudden cut?  It's on the VHS, DVD, Blu-Ray and even the streaming versions.  Why does this awful and weird cut exist in the movie, Poltergeist?  Watch the clip below to see the cut...
