Somthing kinda cool I just discovered about the voice actors for this show. Tunnel Rat is actually voiced by and Asian guy from New York, Roadblock is voiced by a big black dude, Baroness is voiced by an Eastern European woman, Lady Jay is voiced by a Latina.

I love voice actors. I study their voices and practice my own differing dilects and ways of speaking. Futurama's Dr. Zoidberg is one of my favorite to do. I love to hear an animated voice and try to figure out f I know the actor. In the 80, this was easy. It was either Michael Bell or Frank Welker. Period. Arthur Burghart, Mary McDonald-Lewis, BJ Ward...these were all pseudonames for Frank Welker and Michael Bell so they could fill up the cast card in the closing credits. Today 50% of everything is done by Maurice Lamarsche, Dave Herman or Frank Welker. The other 50% is done by John DiMaggio. Maybe 40/60 for DiMaggio.

I like that when it comes to ethnic characters, that actors of that ethnicity are used for their voices. Even when a person is born and raised speaking the American dialect of English, there are still certain enflections and tones accociated with certain ethnic groups and to use those actors for those roles really helps to sell the character to me.

Some people, when trying to avoid thinking about those things that cause them pain, turn to drink, or perhaps food, or drugs... I turn not to any of those... I collect action figures, turning my mind to the hunt, so that I might find a mote of peace... Over the years, I've found that alcoholism is much more socially acceptable by far.
