🎮 Exclusive: Super Mario Intel from Chris Pratt & Charlie Day

Never underestimate the dedication of a voice actor! At first glance, it may seem like Hollywood actors who are used to bringing their biggest performances in front of the camera would dial it down a notch in the relative comfort of a narration booth. Not so for the seasoned professionals in our featured exclusive interviews in today’s newsletter!

Chris Pratt and Charlie Day both bring childhoods filled with Super Mario adventures to their performances in The Super Mario Galaxy Movie as the brothers Mario and Luigi. Never mind that they’re not all that familiar with the Nintendo 64 iteration of the game; they know their stuff! And in our chat with Invincible’s lead voice actor Steven Yeun, we learned that every grunt, bone crack, and battle cry is meticulously mapped out and given full weight in the epic fights between Mark Grayson and the many villains of the Prime Video show.

Plus, in the end, doesn’t it seem like a lot of fun to get behind the mic, bring your acting “A” game, and head home after a long work day without having spent one second in wardrobe or hair & makeup?
