Holy shit! How sour has Kilmer's career turned for him to accept this job?
I don't know if it's a question of "sour." Some of these voice over gigs pay well and its not completely embarrasing to do one.
I tend to agree. Back before the 90s, any actor going from the movies to tv was considered as taking a step back, but sometime during the 90s it became merely a sideways step, with some actors getting paid as much for tv as they would for a movie.
Lets face it, would anyone say Keifer Sutherland on 24 was a step back?
If its specifically the voice bit, is voicing a car really that different to voicing an animal or car in Dreamworks or Pixar film?
I would say though, Knight Rider tv movie is not the project I would want to associate my sideways career step with, as lets face it, theres more chances it will stink than be good!
I will be interested to hear what people (not Pro as he is notoriously cranky) think about this when they see it! I'm sure it'll be online soon though!
