Sorry, Alex. Only production scripts I've seen were the ones Greg has sold and autographed at various cons.

Something I didn't think of was that Jenifer Lewis was with Keith David and Jim Cummings in The Princess and the Frog. That was a pretty good demonstration of her vocal talents and I could honestly see Greg and Jamie Thomason realizing she'd be a good fit considering Greg's history of working with past actors from other projects.

I LOVE Jenifer Lewis (mostly through RuPaul's drag race, but she was on Boston Legal among other things and has always been a highlight) and didn't realize she'd played Olypmia.

Does anyone know if there's a place to read Gargoyles scripts? Like the actual production scripts, not transcripts?

Hi everyone!

Is Gregs email still gweisman@earthlink.com? It keeps bouncing back.

Sorry for the double post, but I found out about an upcoming book (due to be published in a few weeks) that I thought might interest many people here.

https://www.amazon.com/Thor-Loki-Tales-Marvel-Mythology/dp/0762487461

From what I've seen of it (including the preview pages) it shows a good knowledge of the original Norse myths, if blended in here with the Marvel Comics setting. (One passage in the preview pages, incidentally, shows a strong influence from the d'Aulaires' "Norse Gods and Giants", which was my introduction to Norse mythology, and remains one of my favorite adaptations of them.) Since Norse mythology's played a strong role in "Gargoyles" [SPOILER] all the more after "Demona" #2 [/SPOILER], and a lot of the people here are Marvel fans, I thought it might appeal to the posters.

I suspect much of the slow week is due to the fact that the opening posts summed up their subjects (such as acting) so well that there wasn't anything to be added to them. Maybe next week we'll find the kind of topics that can keep a discussion going for a few days.

Another slow week.

At least the bots are here to keep things alive.

As a huge fan of the original series, I love that we're getting this deeper dive into the clan's history. The theme of protecting your home and legacy, even in the darkest of times, really resonates. It's a timeless principle, whether it's a stone castle or a brick rowhome. Can't wait to pick this up!

Various comic and entertainment outlets are announcing the passing of Mort Todd, who wrote some of the non-canon Gargoyles comics for Marvel in the 90s.

That makes me Third.

I was looking through some of the newly answered questions on Ask Greg and the decision to cast Jenifer Lewis, interestingly enough while the questioner writes that she hadn't done much voice work she's actually done a fair amount. Heck, when she was interviewed on The Daily Show a few years ago she even briefly talked about her work in voice-over.

This I think goes to show the importance of what I like to call the Working Actor. Basically someone who does their best regardless of the medium like stage, movies, television, video games and animation. I'd argue one of the reasons Greg's works turn out so well because he draws from some really talented and dependable actors, even if it's just for secondary or tertiary roles.
