Vocal Qs: Ep 108 - George Newbern Vocal Qs

What perfect timing, because Justice League (Animated) just celebrated its 19th Anniversary YESTERDAY!
Q-Balls... I may just be ready to leave this earth, because I can cross something off my bucket list... I interviewed... a Superman. Yes, George Newbern, the amazing actor who has built up an impressive filmography over a 40 year career (including classics like Adventures in Babysitting, Father of the Bride, and his recent reoccurring role on Scandal) visits Vocal Qs to reminisce about the good old days growing up in Akansas, attending North Western with friends like Stephen Colbert, Harry Lennox and writer John Logan, and some of those iconic roles.
But of course, those roles, while iconic, don't have the staying power of playing the Man of Steel in Justice League and Justice League Unlimited, not to mention the myriad of animated films and video games where he has played Superman after taking over the role from Tim Daley almost two decades ago. Yet, this boy next door, Kansas' favourite son is not the only voice George is known for. He has made several gamers, specifically lovers of the Final Fantasy franchise tremble in fear as one of gaming's all-time most dreaded antagonists, Sephiroth.
You'll love this interview, just like all the other great guests I've had on the podcast this season, as George shows you how much he embodies Clark/Kal El's spirit, and constantly counts his blessings about an absolutely amazing career. Not to mention, I surprise him with a few old yearbook photos from decades ago that apparently he had never seen! You have to tune in for that!
