The Los Angeles Times has spoken with veteran voice actor June Foray about her extensive career in show business, which is about to be commemorated by a G0vernor’s Award from the Television Academy of Arts & Sciences at the Creative Arts Emmy Awards. The article looks over Foray’s long career, with Foray noting how she was “performing witches and grandmothers before I was old enough to be a grandmother.” The article also relates some interesting anecdotes from her career (such as how she lost work from Disney after voicing the Witch Hazel character for Warner Bros), and also gets pull-quotes from other voice actors like Bob Bergen, Tom Kenny, Frank Welker, and Billy West about the nature of the art and business of voice acting.

Last pup of a dying planet, a young German Shepherd is rocketed to Earth, where he is bombarded by cosmic gamma rays emitted by a radioactive spider. Crash-landing in the forgotten land of Hubba Hubba, he is discovered by the Who-You-Callin'-Ancient One and his lovely wife Pookie. Instilled with their traditional American values, he spends his young adulthood roaming the globe, learning all the secrets of Comic-Fu. Donning battle armor fashioned from spilled chemicals splashed by lightning, he becomes the Sensational Shield of Sequential Art ACE THE BATHOUND! Look, it sounds a lot better than the truth. Born in Brooklyn, moved to Queens at 3 and then New Jersey at 10. Throughout high school, college, grad school, and gainful employment, two things have remained constant: 1) I am a colossal nerd, and 2) I have spent far too much time reading comics, and then reading and writing about them. Currently working as a financial programmer in New York City, while continuing to discover all the wonderful little surprises (and expenses) of owning your a home in the suburbs. Shares the above with a beautiful, wonderful, and incredibly understanding wife named Frances (who, thankfully, participates in most of my silly hobbies) and a large furry dog named Brownie (who, sadly, does not).
