Although I'm one day late for "Throwback Thursday", I don't wish to wait another week to post this latest 'photo-op' of me with another personality - taken at "Florida Supercon" (the annual sci-fi/fantasy/comic book/celebrity convention) in the Miami Beach Convention Center...
Here I am with one more well-known cartoon voice actor: namely, Charlie Adler. I even wore my "Tiny Toons" T-shirt for the occasion of having my picture taken with him. (Adler was the voice of 'Buster Bunny' on that show.)
His concession at the con was adjacent to the booths of fellow voice actors Tom Kenny and Carlos Alazraqui; So, I guess you could say that this was a reunion of the vocal cast from "Rocko's Modern Life". Carlos was 'Rocko' (natch), Tom was 'Heifer', and Charlie was the voices of 'Mr. & Mrs. Bighead' (a married frog couple), as well as that incidental female that the wallaby accidentally runs into (who threatens him, just by saying "HOW DARE YOU").
Among the other voices Mr. Adler was known for was 'Chance Furlong' (a.k.a. 'T-Bone') on "Swat Kats", and the title characters of "Cow & Chicken" - as well as 'The Red Guy' (a.k.a. 'The Devil').
I asked Charlie when he does all three characters on "Cow & Chicken", are they recorded in separate sessions, "...or do you do them all in one continuous take?" He told me it was done in one long take, and I responded that it must've been quite straining on his vocal cords - especially when he changes voices on 'The Red Guy' alone (going from 'sotto voce' - "Oh, you think you can get away with this, do you?" - to outright yelling - "WELL, THINK AGAIN!"). I'd told him that doing those 'changes' is almost like "...stripping gears on a Mack truck!" - which got a big laugh out of him.
I also told Charlie that, of all the voices he'd done over the years, my personal favorite one of his was that of a female skunk with a Southern accent - from an episode of Disney's "Timon & Pumbaa". I remembered the character; but Charlie didn't. "I've done so much work," he told me, "I cannot recall every character I'd ever done." Which was understandable on his part...
My final question to Mr. Adler was, "What will be your next project?" And he told me that he has a hand in the new animated series "Wabbit!" - with brand-new 'Bugs Bunny' cartoons - scheduled to debut on the newly refurbished 'Boomerang' (the spin-off channel of Cable TV's Cartoon Network).
