I imagine some, like Ellen Degeneres with Finding Nemo, must have been hilarious to watch doing the voices.

Not to mention looking ridiculous trying to get that tone of voice that the director wants :P

You could come to work as frumpy as you want, and still make that mula.

Which is what happens to type casted actors, generally. Voice over acting. It is a great gig. I know I wouldn't complain :P

Hamill got a few voice acting roles over the years. I hear he made for a great Joker on the Batman series.

Being type cast so young is always a problem, but with HP, they've had work for over ten years. In this case, it's not such a bad thing, unlike what happened to Hamill :p

@Diaigma ... Grint just did Wild Target with Emily Blunt. Not a big role, but funny. IMO, all these kids are stuck with being forever associated with Harry Potter... after the money they've made, I know I could live with it!
