The voice of Asajj Ventress was the girl who said "Give it to me baby" in Pretty Fly for a White Guy

I hear that the voice of Luminara appeared nude in a film at the age of fourteen.

 

I think there's some truth to this. I looked on IMDB, and Olivia d'Abo, who does the voice of Luminara, is listed having starred in the movie Bolero, which is a soft-core porn flick starring Bo Derek. Her birthdate and the year Bolero was released seem to match up, based on your comments, so you have a right to be worried.

 

Best LACWAC thread title I can remember...

 

You learn something new everyday.

 

And I hear a certain fourteen-year-old appears nude with Luminara and Asajj Ventress in the
next episode of STAR WARS: THE CLONE WARS. Something to do with a case of brandy she found
in Rex's locker...

I wonder how many weeks of detention in the Jedi library she'll get for this one...

 

The thread title and first post are amazing

 

They said they wanted to make the show darker and more mature...but gods, that's ridiculous!

 

Folks- let's keep it clean and drop the 14-year old discussion immediately.


As for the topic of the thread- I always assumed it was Rosie Perez in that song

 

I take it this 14-year-old is Ahsoka? Ugh. Can we change the topic?

 

I think the voice of Kit Fisto played the character "Marvin" in Pulp Fiction, who had his brains blown all over the inside of the car accidently by John Travolta.

Also, in the car at the time was Samuel L. Jackson, the BMF himself and Mace Windu of the Star Wars movies.

 

Well, let's see what I can bring up here...XD

These voice actor notes aren't as shocking or rare as what I've seen here so far, but they're a pretty interesting read...if you're into voice actors like I am, I guess.

Nika Futterman/Asajj Ventress: Co-starred with Tom Kenny in My Gym Partner's a monkey, playing one of the main characters and becoming one of many voice actresses to portray boys. Was also one of the titular characters in Mike, Lu and Og, in which Dee Bradley Baker portrayed Og. Curiously, Corey Burton, Greg Proops (two-headed anouncer and Tal Merrick in the future) and Brian George (Chairman Chi Cho) also starred on that show.

Tom Kenny/Nute Gunray: .......Do I need to say anything? XD

T.C. Carson/Mace Windu: Often a voice double for Samuel L. Jackson, but has also done KRATOS THE GOD OF WAR

Dee Bradley Baker/The Clones, among others: Has portrayed a number of animals and less-than-human characters. Is the voice of Dark Helmet in the animated Space Balls TV series, and Boba Fett in The Force Unleashed's extra Tatooine mission. Oh, and apparently, he's that creepy talking Aztec statue in the game show Legends of the Hidden Temple. XD

Tom Kane/Yoda, Yularen and the Narrator: Professor Utonium of The Powerpuff Girls, Magneto in Wolverine and the X-Men...and the chimp in The Wild Thornberrys

Corey Burton/Dooku: Narrated Disney Goofy appearances from 1992 until now, played evil computer/cybernetic alien Brainiac, and has done EXTENSIVE Transformer work, too, especially as Shockwave, Spike Witwicky, and Megatron and Ratchet in TF:A.

Ron Perlman/Gha Nackt: His other roles were a lot more impressive...Slade/Deathstroke in Teen Titans, and Hellboy. XD

Jim Cummings/Hondo Ohnaka: Prominently, the voice of Big Bad Pete in Disney, as well as Winnie the Pooh and Tigger. Also Fuzzy Lumpkins in PPG, Cat from CatDog, Lurch from the Addams Family, a variety of Cajun-inspired characters, and one of the vikings in Lost Vikings 2. In the 90s Iron Man series, he was MODOK (giant floating head), and Bill Clinton. You read right. XD

Robin Atkin Downes/Cham Syndulla: Apparently, the uncredited narrator of Meet the Spartans.

 

Dee Bradley Baker is one of the reigning gods of the voice talent universe.
I think the only other actor who can keep up with him is John Dimaggio (Bender from
FUTURAMA, Doctor Drakken from KIM POSSIBLE, original Grievous from SW:TCW, etc.),
however Baker tends to portray incidental characters, Dimaggio leads. Both of these
remarkable actors have the extraordinary gift of being able to shift their impressions
so dramatically that you wouldn't believe it was the same person providing the work.

Marvelous, wonderful people.

 

Robin Atkin Downes was actually Sarkli from one of the Rogue Squadron games.

Ron Perlman was Lord Hood from Halo.

Dee Bradley Baker is the Gravemind, also from Halo.

And that's about all I can recall off of the top of my head.

 

Probably greatest thread of all time.

 

Just a few more fun career facts from a video game fan:

Tom Kane (Yoda/Yularen/Narrator) Voiced Comissioner Gordan in Batman: Arkham Asylum, oddly enough featuring Mark Hamill as the Joker!

James Arnold Tayler (Obi Wan Kenobi) voiced Ratchet in the Ratchet and Clank games ever since number two. He also played Tidus in Final Fantasy X.

Catherine Taber (Padme) is also a FF veteran, she was Penello in Final Fantasy XII.

(P.S I'm surprised what one comment I made about a shady part of a woman's career has dug up. The talk about naked Ahsoka in this thread is... disturbing.)

 

What, no love for Billy West?

 

Gha Nackt is Ron Pearlman

 

Mark Hamill was the Joker from the very early days of the Batman animated series. Go on youtube and look for video of him doing the joker laugh - it's brilliant and disturbing.

He also appeared as a joker like badguy the Trickster in the TV series of the Flash.

 

I know. IMO he's the best joker out of a very classy bunch (followed closely by Heath Ledger and then Jack Nicholson). I just pointed it out because I thought it was neat that Yoda and Luke Skywalker were in a Batman game together.

 

It always makes me laugh to see a voice actor's resume, they're always so varied and random.

That being said, this one is AWESOME.

 

Point taken. Anyone who can voice Richard Nixon's head and Bi-polar Bear
definitely enters the pantheon.

 

I am not a fan of Tom Kane. His voice just annoys me.

And he uses the same voice in almost every single role he's been in.

 

Well, luckily, I like the man's voice. Your mileage may vary, though. XD
Then again, I think there's more to being a voice actor than the range of your voice (though it is certainly the MAJOR part). There's also being able to effectively deliver lines as intended in the voice they bring to the show.

In modern times, I'd cite Phil LaMarr and Jeff Bennett as awesome voice actors and future voice acting gods. They're both great at delivery and range. XD
Note for newbies: Jeff Bennett was the voice of Kyle Katarn in Jedi Outcast and Jedi Academy. The man has portrayed things ranging from robot ninjas (so you KNOW he's awesome), New York-accented cops in Detroit, to narrators off-screen. He was also Baleog and a werewolf in The Lost Vikings 2, great game by Blizzard.

....I hope Jeff Bennett makes it to TCW. XD
