Gametraders Live September Magazine

This was something that happened back
in the early days of mainstream anime
dubbing, where shows like Sailor Moon
and Dragon Ball Z were criticized for heavy
changes to the script and mispronunciation
of specific words. I mentioned to Spike that
in the early days of the internet it was the
voice actors who used to be negatively
spoken about the roles they performed.
“Well they don’t get it. I mean, if you
understand the business of it then you need
to talk to the director, because our job is to
do what the director tells us to do.
Another actor said a long time ago, ‘I’m
an instrument. You tune me. That’s what
I do. So you tell me higher, lower, this
way, that way, whatever it is… there!’
I mean, hey. Someone hired Jar Jar
Binks”.
Earlier in the week I had read that
Ahmed Best, the actor for Jar Jar had
experienced depression for a long time
over the fan hatred of his character. This
is something that Spike was not at all
surprised to hear.
