Jensen talking about Red Hood...

The other newcomer to animation acting is Jensen Ackles, who voices the villain of the piece, the Red Hood. Ackles, of course, is best known for his portrayal of Dean Winchester on the CW series, Supernatural.

“There really wasn’t any heavy acting choices to make,” says Ackles regarding Red Hood. “It pretty much just bounced off the page, and I just tried to do it justice. With working in this medium, once you get clear on all the specific pronunciations and how the tone of the voice needs to rise and fall, it was really about focusing on the more emotional elements of the script, especially in the intense moments and trying to envision the scene with the characters. And envisioning yourself in that scenario. A lot of times if you can do that, if you can put yourself there, I think the voice follows suit.”

Between his work on Supernatural and now the world of Batman, Ackles obviously has had some experience working in what has affectionately been called the “fan boy genre.”

“The positives of working in this genre are that the fans are extremely devoted,” he offers. “People really invest themselves in these stories and characters, and the mythology behind them. To be a part of something that so many people really get behind and want more of is extremely gratifying.”

Batman: Under The Red Hood will be released on DVD and Blu-ray in October.

I can't wait for this! I'm sure Jensen will do an amazing job! I hope we get to see vids of him doing the voice and stuff, like on the BTS stuff. *nods* ...I wonder why he chose to do it? His nephews? Or being the film geek that he is, he just wanted that experience. *nods*

Eeee! I''m actually getting excited about this now! I really hope we do get BTS stuff, I'd like to see his approach to animation acting. I really hope this does well for him.

Oh and I expect it was the movie geek in him. He always likes to set himself new challenges and animation is something he could easily fit in during his bust SPN schedule without breaking a sweat and exhausting himself too much.
