Hello Annee, Thanks for the photos. Do you know who the man in the middle is? Sorry for my ignorance, but I don't recognize him :blush2: ! Ioan looks pretty spiffy in his vest (sexy!)

I'm so sorry! I see now, from an earlier post, that the man is a producer! Just hadn't noticed that detail.

In this interview, Mr. Jones talks FF2 and his voiceover. :) What voice did you use for the Silver Surfer? For the Silver Surfer, I used my lower register all the time. I loved him. I loved the Silver Surfer character. I recently had the joy of having lunch with the writer of the Rise of the Silver Surfer script, who’s also head writer and producer on The Simpsons, Don Payne. Before his butt hit the seat, he was already going into “Hi Doug, it’s so good to meet you, I’m a big fan of your work.” I went “Don? I’m a big fan of YOUR work, are you kidding me?” He said “I just want to tell you right now, as dailies were coming back from Vancouver, when we were looking at the rough footage, your voice that you affected for the Silver Surfer is exactly the voice I heard as I was typing.” Which, ah, did that warm my soul? It really did. Again, I asked the producers, I asked everyone on that job ‘was it a performance issue?’ And again, a resounding no. Even my castmates – Ioan Gruffudd, Jessica Alba, Chris Evans, Michael Chiklis, the Fantastic Four – every one of them was reported somewhere in the press as saying they loved my voice. Again, getting Laurence Fishburne - Morpheus! - was a marketing choice. Again, he’s a brilliant actor, he did a great job, but as an actor, none of us want to see any part of our performance taken away or replaced. I’m not bitter, it’s would just be nice to keep your performance intact. That’s all. http://bigpicture.fancast.com/2008/07/out_of_the_mouth_of_abe_hellbo.html

It would have been nice to hear Doug Jones' own voice in that role as it did sound many people were quite pleased with it. Nice post, Annee.
