Damn, I'm bummed to see Biggs go. I really enjoyed his rendition of Leo. I don't know why everyone is acting like a Bible Belt soccer mom with the things he says online.

*MrTMNT2012* · 06-17-2014, 01:06 PM

Odd. Very odd indeed.

They replaced Jason Biggs with basically the same person...

bridgegrn · 06-17-2014, 01:11 PM

Seth Green? Whoa.

*plastroncafe* · 06-17-2014, 01:20 PM

Huh.

That...that's a thing.

*VaughnMichael* · 06-17-2014, 01:20 PM

I don't know about this but hey if he can make Leo sound good I'm for it.

I love Seth Green and I'm sure he'll be great. Why not just use the guy that has been subbing for Jason Biggs? His voice is really close to Jason's.

*The Boston Ninja Turtle* · 06-17-2014, 01:21 PM

im for it..i love green (and not just cause of his connections to greg the bunny or cause his last name is green)

*Zulithe* · 06-17-2014, 01:23 PM

Well there you have it folks! It's official. no more Biggs.

He will be missed. By me at least.

But... I love Seth. This is going to be very interesting.

*TheBlueTurtle1* · 06-17-2014, 01:23 PM

don't mind Seth Green, but I am gutted about Jason Biggs leaving

Do we know why he left?

*CyberCubed* · 06-17-2014, 01:25 PM

I wonder if Jason Biggs was fired because of those soccer moms who complained about him in 2012. Or if Jason Biggs did something idiotic later on.

Seth Green will probably sound nothing like Bigg's Leonardo though.

*plastroncafe* · 06-17-2014, 01:25 PM

Me as well. I really quite liked his take on Leonardo.

*Whatswiththeheadbands?* · 06-17-2014, 01:27 PM

I have no idea who Seth Green is

How is that even possible? The damn guy is near in everything nowadays.

*Cure* · 06-17-2014, 01:28 PM

Huh. His voice is much more distinct rather than the everyman voice Jason Biggs had so I wonder if it's gonna take some getting used to. Still, I'm cool with him.

*CyberCubed* · 06-17-2014, 01:28 PM

The show is ruined. Leonardo is ruined.

*plastroncafe* · 06-17-2014, 01:28 PM

Kiiiind of wondering if the new guy was brought in to bridge the gap between the respective voice actors. As a sort of graded shift from one to the other.

Sanjuro · 06-17-2014, 01:30 PM

The nerds crying over how Biggs disrespected the franchise, etc, etc is mind blowing. The ONLY thing that matters, is that this franchise continues to sell to the kids. People on a message board is never going to be the target demographic. Ever.

We'll probably hear more about Biggs departure down the road. It's probably a combination of things, but it seemed quite clear that if he had the time and wanted to continue doing the role full time, it wouldn't have been an issue.

That being said, Seth Green is fine. He'll be okay (because who really cares who voices Leonardo in all honesty). The interesting thing this franchise does, is blend in a healthy portion of working actors with established voice actors. Green straddles that actor/geek quality pretty well and if anything would bring more PR to the franchise in various interviews or conventions.

No, its likely that Biggs was fired abruptly and they needed to record the end of Season 2 so they used who was available. Seth Green was probably casted soon after.

*JTH* · 06-17-2014, 01:31 PM

I think we can all believe that this decision was made months ago, which means they more than likely went through quite a few VAs to take the roll.

If they got to Seth Green after all those months, I'm going to go out on a limb and say he must sound "somewhat" similar to what they want.
