What Happens When Voice Actors Dress Up Like The Characters They Voice? Magic Baby.... Pure Magic!!!

Voice Acting has become a huge way for actors to make money. What used to be a niche market and a side gig for celebs has quickly become a guaranteed money maker. And with the success of animated films due to Pixar and Dreamworks (they make cash money baby!) lots of celebs are getting bigger checks for these roles as well. So the A listers are making their way to these roles. The same can be said for TV. While back in the day many "FILM" actors would never take a TV role.... now it seems these "FILM" actors are dying to book a reoccurring series. So it gets even cooler when these actors and actresses decide to make public appearances as these characters. Just a little cherry on top for all the fans who love them in these roles. Check em all out after the jump....

Louie C.K. - Indy Filmmaker?

Finding out that a dude like Louie CK has multiple talents outside of stand up comedy is not too much of a shock to me... the guy has proven how talented he can be over and over again despite the fact that he looks like a regular schnook. But when I hear about a experimental film he shot way back in 1998 with a laundry list of unknown actors who would later become huge stars, I must tip my hat in deference to the ability this guy has. And now we are gonna get to finally see the finished results: Tomorrow Night is a experimental black and white film starring the likes of Amy Poehler, Steve Carell, J.B. Smoove, Robert Smigel and many more. It looks very indy and avant garde, and will either be pure genius or pure bullshit as these types of movies usually are. The film is being released on Louie's website, and for a mere $5 bucks you can see it for yourself. I for one will check this crazy ass shit out. Masturbation while sitting in ice cream??? Yeah, I'm in! Check out the trailer after the jump...

The 'Despicable Me 2' Teaser Trailer Has Me Fiending For Banana's & Minions!!!!

Despicable Me was one of the most surprising animated movies I had ever seen. I thought it would be cool, but the film ended up being quite awesome on many different levels. Besides the awesome soundtrack courtesy of Pharrell & the killer performance by Steve Carrell, my favorite part of the movies would have to be The Minions. These little yellow baddies make the film. So it is no surprise that they have been rolled out to compile a teaser trailer. If you haven't seen this yet, you are sure to love this musical number. But if you are like me and have seen it, you will want to watch it again and again!!! Despicable Me 2 is out in 2013.Enjoy it after the break.... and put that party noisemaker down asap!!!!!

He's Back... Back In The San Dieg-ian Groove!!!!

Anchorman may very will be one of the funniest movies ever made, and it is definitively one of Will Ferrell most memorable performances. Even people who are not the biggest Ferrell fans find something likeable in the laugh fest that is Anchorman. The supporting cast (Paul Rudd, Steve Carrell, Christina Applegate, cameos by Luke Wilson, Vince Vaughn, and Ben Stiller, etc...) is superb and the quotable lines are way to many to list here. But for the past 5 years we have been teased at the possibility of a sequel to no avail, as Paramount has balked at the sequel plans for quite sometime. But a certain Jazz flute playing newscaster showed up on Conan the other night and dropped a bombshell... as well as some witty comments and insults directed towards Conan. We will have a Anchorman 2 sequel!!!! Watch the full clip after the jump for the announcement and some fresh Ron Burgundy to brighten up your day!!!






And in celebration of this announcement, here is my favorite scene in the whole movie:

Artist Profile: Sam Spratt

I love it when things come full circle. I find this happening more and more these days. I fist saw artists Sam Spratt's work when Rainn Wilson decided to adopt Spratt's drawing of him with a Bear Skin on his head as his own personal Twitter avatar. Imagine how cool that must have been for Spratt... so cool. But that's just the tip of the iceberg for Spratt. Directly out of college Spratt was tapped to be the ONLY illustrator for the Gawker Media empire (Gawker, Gizmodo, Kotaku, etc)... not to shabby. He has gone on to create some fantastic pieces of celebs, and even a Game Informer Magazine cover that is bananas!!! Oh, and I almost forgot... Spratt is from Brooklyn as well!!!! You know how much we love to support the local NYC artists. Thanks to Jeff & Edson for sending me a link to such a cool artist. You can click here to see his full online portfolio, and click after the jump to see some of my personal faves from Spratt. Trust me, these pieces will have your jaw hovering just above floor level...
