  • The race of a voice actor doesn’t matter

    I have only a single exception. In Lower Decks, there’s a crossover episode with Strange New Worlds where you see two of the animated characters in the live action show because their voice actors look like their characters. The other two main characters don’t. One would need to be painted green and could probably pass but the other character, Rutherford, is a black guy voiced by an Asian Pacific guy, and …yeah he could probably pass but that’s…well it’d be a much easier call if the character and the VA’s “race” matched.

    (In the star trek universe this wouldn’t matter at all, I’m only pointing out the IRL conflict. In fact, I believe they went with only two crossover characters for budget reasons)



  • I had an Irish Catholic nun, with the headdress and nun robes on and everything, tell my class we’d go blind and grow hair on our hands. She was making scarry eyes and jazz hands while she said it. It was a sex ed course and her #1 message to all of us jr high boys was wearing deodorant and scrub your ass in the shower. In retrospect, I think she said that in such a cartoonish manner because she knew it was ridiculous, and really she just didn’t want to gag from the stench after phys ed.

    That same nun told me her favorite band was "those good Irish boys with the rap music, I just wish they’d pick a more respectful name than ‘beasty boys’ "

    We were all sneaking looks at each other’s hands for at least a month after that though.
