Joe, just a quick question regarding some past work: You said that you worked on the Marvel Ultimate Alliance videogame. Which voices did you provide?

Thanks for asking - Interesting story behind that one...

I was taking a VO class, and a classmate told me about an audition for "Bruce Banner" in MUA. I checked out the link and found out that it was a VO contest to land a role. They'd gotten so many submissions that they opened up another role: "Namor".

So, I read the lines and pressed send on the site's record tool, then forgot about it.

Weeks later I got a call letting me know I'd been cast as Namor (The Sub Mariner)! Best part was it was a SAG gig, so I got a Taft-Hartley out of it too. The producers said they listened to thousands of auditions, so heck, I earned it!

Also got a poster, Xbox-360 (sold it for a Wii), and a Stan Lee signed game card. Plus met with a bunch of folks at Activision.

All in all, a very sweet deal!

That's my story, and I'm sticking to it,

Awesome, Joe! Congratulations!! You so TOTALLY rock,dude.

(For the record, I actually know who Namor is. My inner (and let's face it, pretty darned outer) geek showing through ... :) )

All the best,

Joe,

Congrats! Sounds like a fun gig! Looking forward to playing. Can you give any hints? Like, will we be able to shoot at you or race against you or hit you with a folding chair or ski downhill against you or ... or what? :)
