An oldie From Mark`s Vaults I have a number of sites that I visit daily if not more often, cartoonbrew, animated-news and Mark Evenier`s POV news site. When I have some time I wander all over the site just looking at things he has posted over the years.



This morning I ran into this 4 year old article about voice actor Frank Nelson. YesssSSSS? It is a great story about the world of Hollywood voice acting. I am going to steal a quote here:

I will never, as long as I live, forget summoning Frank Nelson. He was sitting in the recording studio`s lobby, absently paging through a magazine older than he was, surrounded by young actors who didn`t know who he was. I stepped into the lobby and said, "Mr. Nelson?"

And he turned towards me - so help me - and went, "Yessssss?" Just like on the Benny show.

I broke into laughter and the other auditioners - the younger actors sitting in chairs around him - suddenly recognized him and they all broke into applause. I have never seen another actor get applause from his peers in the waiting room.

Isn`t that great? Here is the link to the whole story. Frank Nelson . Check out some of this other stuff while you are there. It is a fun site full of all the things that makes Mark happy.
