You can say this about voice-over actors: They love to talk. One hundred and fifty of Hollywood’s busiest performers and casting agents from the often overlooked industry enthusiastically share their stories in the new documentary I Know That Voice<\/a><\/em>, available on VOD platforms and at iTunes<\/a> starting Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Director Lawrence Shapiro was inspired to make the film when he saw how animated (pun intended) fans became when meeting his friend John DiMaggio<\/a>, voice of the curmudgeonly-yet-beloved robot Bender on Futurama<\/em>. “I’ll admit it, applause is great,” says DiMaggio, one of the industry’s most popular and prolific stars, whose résumé also includes roles on Adventure Time<\/em>, The Penguins of Madagascar<\/em> and Kim Possible<\/em>. But outside of fan-centric events like Comic-Con, voice actors work in relative obscurity, which motivated DiMaggio to sign on as producer. “I want my peers to get a little bit of recognition. These are some of the most talented people I know, and some of the most brilliant character actors that I know.”<\/p>\n
