It's interesting, the things you can learn from reading something as innocuous as IMDb. The cast of Lego Ninjago is a cast of actors I often forget about, because I feel like the actors up here in Canada never get the representation of actors in the US. Who knows of our actors? Who knows Paul Soles? You should! He was Spider-Man in the 60s cartoon and Hermey the Elf for the Rudolph Rankin-Bass special. But because he wasn't american and he wasn't a big name, he wasn't on any of your radars! And that's the problem. Canada like any country that isn't the US or (occasionally) the UK seems to be incredibly neglected.

I'm getting off topic, so let's focus back in. I've been really bored lately, so I was looking at the IMDb pages for some of the cast of Lego Ninjago. I think some of the things I've learned about their careers have been pretty interesting, so I feel like marathon sharing some fun facts here. I'll try to cover as many of the actors as I can, but I'm focusing on the ones who I know the least about/who I find the most interesting stuff on. But I'll say the actor and then their character in brackets next to them.

Kirby Morrow (Cole): He played Jesus in a weird animated religious movie. He was in one episode of Supernatural, Arrow and Flash. Yeah, he was in the Arrowverse twice doing different minor characters each time. He was also in a few Hallmark movies. Oh, and 8 episodes of Stargate Atlantis.

Brent Miller (Zane): He was involved in casting for Dragontales, IMDb says. I don't know if I've seen that show, but it does seem interesting that he has work in the production sector if things.

Paul Dobson (Sensei Wu): He's played Doctor Doom, Juggernaut, Beta Ray Bill and Hogun for Marvel shows. He did 2 different CSI video games. He apparently even did ADR for Arthur Christmas, which is something that feels really interesting to me. I don't know why, but that one kind of surprised me.

Kelly Metzger (Nya): Lots of Christmas credentials. She was in Noelle, Jingle all the way 2 with Larry the Cable Guy and a Hallmark movie or two. She was also in one episode of DC's Legends of Tomorrow. And she seems to play minor parts in a lot of tv shows.

Jillian Michaels (Lloyd for seasons 1 to 7): Besides Lloyd for Ninjago, apparently she's done Pochaccho for some English Sanrio dubs. And yeah, I still find it kind of interesting how she shares a name with an old US reality tv star.

Mark Oliver (Lord Garmadon): His page on IMDb says he wrote an episode of a ww2 documentary. He also appeared in an episode of Smallville as "Limo Passenger," which is kind of interesting. He's done a lot of smaller video game work, and he's been in the TV show Cloak and Dagger as a newscaster. So he's been in DC shoes and Marvel shows. Also, I think he edits his own IMDb page. Some of the pronouns under one of the videos uses personal pronouns like I, so there's a good chance he edits his own IMDb page.

Mark Oliver + Sam Vincent character dynamic in a nutshell

More Garmasako sillies!

The top pieces are based on an Instagram post by Mark Oliver of him doing a yoga pose. The last piece is based on this post I made about an AU where Misako convinces Garmadon to come back to the good side in season 2.

The Small World of Voice Acting: Featuring My Childhood

Soooo, for yesterday's episode I noted that Brian Drummond absolutely brings the menace to a character with a name as dumb as Diablos Nacho.

That made me decide to look up the VA credits, which is always fun because voice acting is a small world. Before I get into the individual credits, I want it known that most of these people also worked on My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, Littlest Pet Shop, Barbie, and Ninjago, and most of them have seasoned careers dubbing anime. I don't watch much Anime, but some of these stood out even to me (almost all of them have been on Death Note for example).

Here's some of the cast and their voice roles that made me personally go "NO WAY," but I highly recommend going to their Wikipedia pages and taking a look for yourself!

Eli's VA: Sam Vincent---Also the voice of Lloyd Garmadon from Ninjago and Flim (of the Flim Flam duo) from MLP:FiM, Daffy and Bugs from Baby Loony Tunes and Jerry from the Tom and Jerry Show (which I didn't watch but I did watch the originals). . .And also Will Shane lol.

Trixie's VA: Shannon Chan-Kent---The singing voice of Pinkie Pie from MLP:FiM, Amy Rose in Sonic Prime, and then like a billion side characters in multiple barbie movies, littlest pet shop, and strawberry short cake. She's also been Belle in the Vancouver stage production of Beauty and the Beast.

Kord's VA: Andrew Francis---has had a long career of acting and voice acting, but the only one personally important to me is that he's Shining Armor on MLP:FiM, which is close enough to his Kord voice that I won't be able to unhear it.

Pronto's VA: Lee Tockar---who is also Bibble in the Barbie Fairytopia movies, Snips AND Steven Magnet from MLP, Bling-Bling Boy from Johnny Test (I was upset to be reminded that exists), Inky from Pac-Man and the Ghostly Adventures, and has also been some side characters from Dinosaur Train.

Dr. Blakk's VA: Mark Oliver---Doesn't have a wikipedia page because he mostly does bit parts. Key word being mostly---He's Lord Garmadon from Ninjago. I want you all to think about this for a second. Eli's VA is Lloyd Garmadon. Blakk's VA is Lord Garmadon. I am losing my mind. He's also HIM in Powerpuff Girls Z, and Hue the butterfly from Barbie Fairytopia.

Diablos Nacho's VA: Brian Drummond---Vegeta in the Ocean Group dub of Dragonball Z; Ryuk in the English dub of Death Note; a whole bunch of people on Dinosaur Train; a whole bunch of people on He-Man Masters of the Universe; Clyde from Pac-Man and the Ghostly Adventures; Eddie Brock and Venom in Spiderman Unlimited; Dr. Eggman in Sonic Prime; Knuckles in Sonic Underground; Wolverine in Wolverine: Origin, Wolverine versus Sabretooth, and Wolverine: Weapon X; and in Slugterra itself he's also the voice of Redhook and a ton of one-off characters.

Twist's VA: David Kaye---Very very long list that had less properties I knew of. He's a whole bunch of people on Ben 10 which I didn't watch, and a recurring side voice for Scooby Doo (but nobody significant enough to make me double take). We do have some games I know though! He's Clank from Ratchet and Clank; Comissioner Gordon from Batman: Arkham City; and also Sesshomaru from Inuyasha which I didn't watch but have absorbed some things second-hand about.

Junjie's VA: Vincent Tong---Kai and apparently half the extras from Ninjago; Garble, Flash Sentry, and Sandbar from MLP (as well as a large number of bit parts like Doughnut Joe); and also Zuko in the Avatar video game Avatar The Last Airbender: Quest for Balance.

This all barely scratches the surface! I didn't look up most of the side characters! If any of you have an afternoon and would like your brain exploded, spend some time looking through the acting credits of all the minor characters. I think you'll have fun :)
