God, the Devil and Bob

I provided the voice of The Devil for NBC's animated show, God, The Devil and Bob, which had James Garner providing the voice of God and French Stewart as Bob.

I actually did this project while filming Annie and The Flintstones in Viva Rock Vegas. We made twelve episodes of biting satire about God and the Devil coming down to Detroit and vying for the soul of this man called Bob. I was saddened by the way it was handled when it came out. I thought it was a sad thing for America that satire doesn't seem to be allowed with certain subject matters. It's a cartoon! I think it's sad if people can't laugh or that certain aspects of society can't be parodied. People are so serious about their religion that they can't allow for anything remotely fun to be made about it.

Annie

Rob Marshall (who choreographed Cabaret on Broadway) asked me to take on the role of "Rooster" in this reworking of the popular American musical, Annie.

Kathy Bates plays Miss Hannigan and the rest of the cast includes Victor Garber, Audra McDonald, Kristin Chenoweth, and Alicia Morton as Annie.

I had never seen Annie and didn't know the story when Rob asked me to do it. It was really scary for me, because I felt so out of my depth in so many ways. I'd never done a musical like this before, but Rob has a way of making you feel confident about things that you can't do very well, like dancing and singing! Dancing down the street at the backlot of Warner Bros. in Burbank, singing Easy Street was one of the best moments of my showbiz life!
