Matt Mercer is, I am going to guess, used to being the voice of your favourite characters. From hotboi Essek in The Mighty Nein to Vecna himself in Lifeless by Daylight (er, not that one), Mercer’s voice performing profession is probably as storied because the precise play sequence he co-created, Critical Role. Nonetheless, there are voices to which even the good Sylas Briarwood himself should tip his hat, and lately, Mercer received the prospect to converse to a fellow soundbooth icon – that’s, Nancy Cartwright, voice of Bart Simpson. And as you’ll be able to think about, The Simpsons legend and Mercer had loads to speak about…
Beginning with which Dungeons & Dragons class would finest match Spingfield’s most beloved prankster.
We heard concerning the dialog from the nice of us at Nerdist, who reported on the interview January 9. First showing on Nancy cartwright’s YouTube channel, the chat between two of popular culture’s most beloved voice actors received into D&D hypotheticals as quickly because the video started. Studying from a reddit query submitted by u/sockmuppet5000, Cartwright requested Mercer: “What class would Bart Simpson be?”
“A Bard” Mercer answered after giving it some thought. “Bart the Bard would work nicely simply due to the excessive charisma side of it, the […] jack of all trades ability situation. Relying on the construct, actually having insults as a protection/assault mechanism, to costume others down and have that diminish their capabilities and finally ship them fleeing into the space, I feel, very a lot sits in his realm of experience. A really acerbic, witty, insult-based Bard.”
Is it simply me, or does it sound like Critical Role’s most frequent DM has thought of this earlier than? I do not need to converse for Mercer right here, however on the very least, the concept of enjoying within the Springfield sandbox has received to be a minimum of percolating in his head.
“Strive as you may younger Simpson,” concluded Mercer, leaning into a very Vecna-ish voice (once more, not that one) “I’ll have that cow and you’ll’t cease me.”
To tweak a phrase from a totally different Matt Groening phenomenon – “Do not shut up, however take my cash.”
