David X. Cohen in "Insane in the Mianframe"?

[on:]

In the deleted scenes.... the first deleted scene safter Fry talks to his 100 dollar bill it sounds like David X. Cohen saying "He's right"... and in the scene where Bender is singing and playing a banjo he also finishes Bender's song....any thoughts on this?

Cohen did those lines (which were altered from the original script), since it's only a preliminary version and they didn't have West or DiMaggio around that day to do the altered lines.

And that's pretty much all the thoughts I have on this subject.

I think they say something about it in the commentary for that episode. I could be wrong though...

A lot of Out takes or animatics have Cohens voice. I think theres one where he's singing.

[Reply #4 on:]

Yes but if you watch The Devils Hands and Zoidberg phones up for records of Fry, David X Cohan is on the other side if you listen carfully. I got it the 3 or 4 time i watched it. Im telling the truth.

^ also true

[Reply #6 on:]

Why did they use David X. Cohen? he doesn't sound like anyone...

[Reply #7 on:]

No, but the lines were not for the final episode, only for testing purposes to see how it fit with the animation and how funny it would be. Cohen was pretty much involved in every stage of the production, so he was always around and could do the lines when the voice actors were absent.

parasite? is correct. And it's weird to hear his voice in the show and I'm surprised that he or anyone else didn't comment on it during the audio commentary. But whatever.

Nothing is funnier than Cohen doing the temp track for Leela.

[Reply #13 on:]

and his girlish laugh in the audio commentrys

Cohen does alot of the character readings in deleted scenes, but he was in "A Byclops Built for Two"

(Nerd in the Video Game, watch commentary)

 He was the nerd in the shooting video game, but he doesn't have a speaking role...



Look for him in the shooting sceen, he's only on the screen for a few seconds before he is shot by fry...

In one of the deleted scenes where there is singing, not only is DXC singing, but it constantly switches back and forth between his voice and whoever the real voice actor is. It's wicked wierd. Anyone know which episode that's from?

I'm pretty sure it's from Insane in the Mainframe... anyway, David always does the temp tracks for characters in animatics, just to give an idea of what it will be like. Him switching back and forth was probably due to:
1. A change in the original line.
2. Some bad audio quality in some parts of the original line.

Also, David X. Cohen's online character can also be seen in I Dated a Robot at the auction.

Did they do such a great job, the cartoon looks nothing like the real guy...

I know he's singing (I think "The 1812 Overture" ) while riveting, which is Leela's part in a deleted scene from "The Sting."

[Reply #22 on:]

Well, that's not really a good comparison shot. 

[Reply #23 on:]

All though, the more you look at it the more it sort of looks like DXC ( the cartoon that is)
hmmmmm...

[Reply #24 on:]

It looks a lot like him, he's just not wearing his glasses.

[Reply #25 on:]

I'm with you on that one shiny

[Reply #26 on:]

well............the more you look at it the more he looks like DXC

[Reply #27 on:]
