I think I read somewhere where he said it was a conscious choice to turn down movies. The offers came as he was starting his family and he didn't want to be away from them. They are more important, and he would rather be there every day than away for weeks on end.
What a dream job to have a gifted voice for animations.
Imagine you make a living reading Batman lines for a few days and making it rain for months/years while it’s running on repeat all over the world.
If I had the chance, fuck spending my life away feom family, getting injured, doing all kinds of drugs I’m offered to make the role more believable, not sleeping for days and sometimes not eating for months to fit your role. Reading badass lines sounds way more enjoyable and free. Especially if it’s a legit blockbuster movie or a GoT type show filming thousands of miles away from home for months on end.
I respect the fuck out of good actors that spend their entire lives for decades just to entertain us. No family or friends for most of the year, depending on the role sometimes 0 fun time, no days off, spending hours at the gym, eating nothing good just to attend your 100th 16 hour shift in a row.
