Jason Biggs recast as Leonardo. Seth Green to replace him - Page 7

*Electric* · 05-20-2014, 08:37 PM

I don't think we're expecting nick to come out and say anything, I'm just wondering why dominic is "not at liberty to say". If he replaced jason, I don't see why he couldn't say "yep I'm taking over as Leo" or "no, I'm just filling in whenever they need me"

From most of his tweets, it sounds like he's definitely voicing more. But everytime he's said it, he specifically refers to only season 2. Maybe he's finishing out season 2, or just another couple episodes, and then season 3 jason comes back or they get someone else.

You can probably take this with a grain of salt, but while browsing Dominic's Twitter, someone said something about it is going to take a while to get used to this recast, and he said "I totally get it."

I mean..maybe I'm just looking too much into this, but instead of saying "Don't worry Jason will be back!" or "there's nothing to get used to" He just said "I get it" which TO ME implies that he is kind of acknowledging that there was a recast.
Maybe?

Here's the link.

I'm happy he's around, be it as temporary or permanent VA.

So welcome Dominic!

Maybe they don't know if Biggs will return yet? He could be in contract negotiations or something.

Looks like Biggs is done. I'm not expecting him back.

When Season 3 begins why would they go through the trouble of getting Biggs back when they can just continue using this guy?

Dude, they are already recording episodes for season 3....with Biggs.

*CyberCubed* · 05-20-2014, 11:13 PM

I've never heard of that.

*Xav* · 05-21-2014, 12:55 AM

It's from a fan blog on the last page.

Oh and if Biggs wasn't fired he certainly isn't doing himself any favors. He recently made headlines again by mocking a Bachelorette contestant who died last month.

I follow Biggs on twitter and have been reading the recent tweets about the bachelorette...

He really seems to love it when people lash out at him when he makes a crass joke. Revels in it even.

I'm the kind of guy who can appreciate humor others may find offensive. And I mean that seriously, I am a member of more than one minority group and even jokes that are at my expense don't phase me the way I see it bother other people. But I really wonder just how many voice actors that work in children's films/tv are so publicly offensive like Biggs, because he seems to be one of kind in that respect.

hudemx · 05-21-2014, 03:07 AM

How about the Idea that the "replacement" of Leos VA is just part of a storyline coming up?
Yeah it sounds crazy but by dominics tweet it seems that there could be more about it (he tweets that "we" will see more in season 2)
So maybe the Leo we saw in Pizza Face is not the leo we saw before?

*ToTheNines* · 05-21-2014, 05:07 AM

Yeah, hopefully they just got Dom a gig as another character. I'd be real butthurt if Biggs was gone... it's worth noting though that Dom has clearly been standing in for lines here and there all season. I think JB is just busy.

This is like the only version of Leo I really love in all of TMNT, and Biggs really brought him to life. Hopefully we hear him next episode.

*Shark_Blade* · 05-21-2014, 06:57 AM

I have a feeling Biggs won't be voicing for the rest of this season, he'll only return next season.

*TheBlueTurtle1* · 05-21-2014, 07:40 AM

So to be clear, is he still Leo?

*CyberCubed* · 05-21-2014, 08:13 AM

Nobody knows. People say he recorded Season 3 but I see no proof of that.

The Leo replacement actor also keeps tweeting to stay tuned for more and that he understands people have to get used to him in the role.

*TheBlueTurtle1* · 05-21-2014, 09:13 AM

oh no, I really hope it's temp, nnothing against the other guy. Jason needs to carry on being Leo!

CowabungaMikey · 05-21-2014, 09:24 AM

What the hell is Biggs doing?

*plastroncafe* · 05-21-2014, 10:03 AM

What he's always done.

*CyberCubed* · 05-21-2014, 04:22 PM

Isn't Jason Biggs like 35 years old now with his own son? Why would a fully grown adult with his own kid make such childish comments and blatant hate posts online toward other people?

Jason Biggs is truly a guy who never grew up from adolescence. I love his Leonardo voice but the guy seems to be an eternal 17 year old man child.

Says the guy who freaks out over seeing nostrils on the Turtles.

He explained in an interview.

Quote:

It's funny because I have a very [messed] up sense of humor -- pretty dark, always have. But people just don't think that of me -- even though I'm known for f---ing a pie. But, still, something about Jim and the other characters that I've played, they just don't expect it from me. And I've never really had an outlet like this where I can kind of surprise people on a daily basis. So, it's kind of a fun thing to do. I get a kick out of it -- I like pushing buttons and having people write back. I especially like it when people write back and are like, "You're an asshole!" Or they get really pissed at me and I'll retweet those people because I think that's funny.
