I'm sure fan girls on Deviant Art have already beat you to it. If they're not having sex with each other it's inanimate objects.

Now they don't just draw sex...not most of the ones I know anyway. Come on, American Pie reference, It could be can kinda funny!

I like Jason Biggs as an actor , i've only seen the first American pie.

but he's hilarious in Saving Silverman & My best friends girl.

now as leo.. idk.

but all his characters in every movie i've seen , he comes off as a really nerdy/geeky kind of guy.

so maybe he's a turtle fan in real life?

FearlessLeader · 03-11-2011, 09:16 AM

I listened to some interviews last night and actually his speaking voice is pretty close in tone to Mike Sinterniklaas's speaking voice.

I was hoping for a little deeper of a voice for Leo more like the 2007 film, but I did really like Mike's interpretation of Leonardo.

Hopefully Jason Biggs loves Leo half as much as Mike did and really throws himself into the role also.

I actually think he will do a good job!

**Jester** · 03-11-2011, 09:21 AM

I guess to me casting Biggs is like casting Matthew Willard as Shaggy. Aren't there some established voice over guys who could do it. I mean, Ron Paulsen, who BTW is 55 today, is Donnie. Why "stunt cast" Leo.

Oh well, I need to just shut up and wait until I hear him do Leo, he might be great.

To me a lot would have to do with if he is a fan of the franchise. Not knowing what's going behind the scenes he might have heard about the project and rallied to have himself casted because he loves the guys so much??

With only knowing base facts it's hard for me to form any real judgment??

**Jester** · 03-11-2011, 09:39 AM

I hear ya. But just because you love the franchise, doesn't mean you should be in the show. If you don't fit the role, that's what should count. That said, maybe Biggs does just that. *shrugs*

*PizzaPower* · 03-11-2011, 09:41 AM

ya but maybe he does fit the role, and maybe he will bring leo to life.

*Koi* · 03-11-2011, 09:42 AM

omg, the voice actor. I am ok with this.

Also, LOOOOOVE the news. From the moment they said pizza I was ok with everything.

BitchinPicturesChris · 03-11-2011, 01:40 PM

Wow Jason Biggs is the last person I'd think of. But that's pretty cool! I guess we'll have to wait and see how he does. He seems like he'd have the right voice for it so I think he'll be good.

You've got to admit though, Lillard did an amazing job as Shaggy. He was probably the only good part about those live action movies.

I mean, I'm as against "star power" voice actors as much as the next animation geek, but if they can kick ass at the voice then more power to them. Take Justin Timberlake's Boo Boo. I only caught the trailer, but I could barely tell he wasn't the original voice actor.

Dan Akroyd's Yogi, on the other hand....

So long as we get a voice out of Biggs that isn't just....Biggs, I think he'll do okay.

True dat. He fit the profile more than any of the other pathetic likenesses, but he should NOT be voicing the animated Shaggy (which he is). He gurgles all of his lines, and that's majorly irritating. >_<

I think that speaks more to how bad his voice director is, than him as a voice actor.

*Redeemer* · 03-11-2011, 09:28 PM

This is sound more and more hopeful by the second

*sdp* · 03-12-2011, 12:23 AM

so the new show isn't out until fall 2012, I'm guessing we are not going to be getting any new news until early 2012 at the earliest... that kinda sucks. There won't be much to discuss until then.. Same with the movie since its not out until 2013 we won't get news until early 2012 at the earliest.

Toon · 03-12-2011, 12:59 AM

For what it's worth, I love the voices. Mikey's never been my favorite turtle in any incarnation, but this time around I'm torn between him and Donnie. The actors are nailing it.

Now you've got me wondering who Mikey is.

How is Biggs as Leo?? Not certain if you can give any information at all, but I figure it's worth asking. Does he make a good Leo??
