These paradoxical feelings occurred to me while having a genial chat with Carlos Alazraqui, Charlie Adler, and Joe Murray-voice of Rocko, Ed and Beverly Bighead, and the creator, respectively-of Rocko’s Modern Life, a staple of 90s Nickelodeon animation which is getting a reboot television film next year. In a moment’s flash, you’re not interviewing an actor. Yet, there is also an undeniable surreality to the proceedings when a voice over actor performs one his (or her, though not in the case) characters in front of you. So, when they do interviews, like the round table interviews at Comic Con, it’s merely a transactional experience: promoting a new work. On one level, they are consummate professionals who dedicate their lives to the work and craft before them.

It’s a surreal feeling talking with voice actors and the people who’ve created your favorite animated shows.
