I am the James Earl Jones of Iowa City

Filed under: — Aprille @ 9:25 am

You know how James Earl Jones says “This is CNN” and it sounds all cool?

Well, guess who’s going to be the person who says “This is University of Iowa Cable Television, UITV.” That’s right, this guy (imagine me pointing at myself with my thumbs). I don’t think my voice sounds very much like James Earl Jones, but apparently it’s good enough for a university cable channel that nobody watches. At least, I never watch it. Maybe I will now.

I always kind of wanted to be a voice actor, like for cartoons or something. It’s all the fun of being a movie star without having to be under hot lights or be in dangerous action sequences, plus you can wear your pajamas to work.

ALSO: Exhibit A in the People vs. Obvious Casting Choices, Benicio del Toro is set to play Wolfman in an upcoming remake of the Lon Chaney classic. I don’t mean that “obvious casting choices” thing as an insult; I like Benicio del Toro and think he would make an excellent Wolfman. What’s more, I love Wolfman and am very excited about the prospect of a new movie. I sure hope it’s not terrible. Our generation needs another Teen Wolf. Only in this case I guess it’s Adult Wolf. I hope that’s what the movie’s called.

    testing. I’ve heard two reports of errors upon submitting comments.

    Does anyone else remember one of Benicio’s first film roles? Sounds like he’s getting back to his roots with this part.

    Why, do you mean this?

    That’s almost as good as Laurence “Larry” Fishburne as Cowboy Curtis.
