I just watched Father of the Bride. It's the first time I had watched it in several years. It's a good movie and I enjoy it greatly. There was a particular reason I felt the need to re-watch it and that was George Newburn.
George Newburn is an actor. He played the Groom in Father of the Bride. He is also known for voicing Sephiroth in the Final Fantasy and Kingdom Hearts compilations. (We don't like to talk about Lance Bass)
Watching it with this knowledge was screwing me over mentally. It didn't help that I had drank a caffeinated soda for the first time in several weeks. I swear I could feel reality shift.
I have nothing against type casting. I see it constantly. It's useful, it's what made us believe that Bruce Willis could live through a gun shot wound in the 6th Sense. I see it so much in dubbed anime that I play of game of guessing who will voice act whom before an anime is released in the States. (All bets on Chuck Huber for voicing Rintaro Okabe in Steind Gate dub right here!)
I was watching the movie and I felt insanity close its grasp around me. I kept seeing a man repeatedly transform into another man right before my eyes. Next thing I knew, I was in front of a burning Nibelheim with my Masamune. Okay, that last part was a lie. I'm still on a caffeine rush. I need to sober up a little in the only way I know how, by playing video games! Just not Final Fantasy this time, it's what got me in trouble in the first place.
I salute you, good actors!
