Regarding that Huntress post, do you have a specific set of voice actors in your mind when reading/writing books? Does it influence how you write? I'll never be able to read a Batman book without hearing Kevin Conroy. But I have to figure there's a whole b

I usually do not. I know this sounds awful and pretentious but the truth is, I simply don’t keep up with pop culture very much. I don’t know who is popular at anything. I look at our scandal sheets and have no clue who anybody is. I’m terrible at names for a start, and have almost no interest in celebrity culture so I don’t remember what actors are in what films.

A fellow DC writer was making fun of me a couple weeks ago because he mentioned meeting some very famous actress and I had no idea who he was talking about…he was certain I was lying, but I don’t watch tv, I don’t keep up on movie or entertainment sites, I just have no idea what’s going on. I might as well be a hermit.

On top of all that, when I watch an animated show and I really like it, I almost don’t WANT to know who voiced what…it’s fun for me to just keep the illusion that the characters are voiced by themselves. :)

How embarrassing is this series of confessions on my part?

VERY.

I know who Kevin is because he’s a legend, I know who Christian Bale is but never liked his Bat-voice, and I know who Diedrich is because I’ve met him a couple times, but I wouldn’t be able to remember his name if you hadn’t just reminded me.

It’s not something I’m proud of or glib about, in my business, I SHOULD know at least the baseline minimum on this stuff…but I really don’t.

Sorry!
