A couple of questions about the multi-talented Jeff Bennett...
1) How did Jeff end up being cast as so many different characters? Was it because the Magus and Owen (and others) were a bit too 'minor' (I use the term loosely) to warrant getting an actor in to play just those characters?
2) Which character (if any) does Jeff most sound like when he's not acting?
Greg responds...
1. The short answer is yes. But the truth is that both Jamie Thomason (our voice director) and I knew just how talented Jeff was/is. We auditioned and cast him as Brooklyn, knowing we'd have a very versatile actor for a number of other rolls. Magus and Owen were the first.
2. Probably Brooklyn, though Jeff's voice isn't quite so raspy. Also he's from Texas, so occasionally you can detect a slight accent.
