Semi-related, I listened to a podcast featuring Andrea Romano, the woman in charge of casting -- well -- just about every decent animated series since 1981. She said she gets criticized for insisting on using veteran talent (like Tim Conway and Ernest Borgenine in Spongebob). She defends it by saying these people deserve to be known to the next generation and voiceover work is a way to the rest of their careers. She also told a touching story about how the guy who did the voice of George Jetson suffered a fatal stroke while recording the series remake in the 1980s -- instead of rotting away in some retirement center, he quite literally died doing what he loved. There are some people who do what they can to prevent folks from forgetting the history of film, television, and music. We need to do a better job or recognizing them. -- Kevin M.
