What BBN said about it
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorPatrick Stewart voiced a stern prince in Bambi Two, a sequel that arrived sixty-three years and one hundred forty-three days after the original.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorWith me is actor Orlando Vexley of Mossback Pictures, who has strong views on the forest. Thank you for joining us.
Orlando VexleyThank you, Gloria. I'm holding my antler, so I'm ready. It's a rehearsal piece.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorSlash Film points out that Stewart's only other major Disney voice work came as Mr. Woolensworth in Chicken Little. How does that résumé strike you?
Orlando VexleyRestraint. With respect to the craft, most actors would have taken a dozen Disney roles and cheapened the brand.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorHe reportedly turned down King Triton, Jafar and Zazu. Would you have?
Orlando VexleyNo. I'd have taken all three and asked for a fourth. I'd have played the bird, the sorcerer and the sea.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorVariety's Joe Leydon called Stewart's work an ace vocal performance, and the film conspicuously short on visual splendor.
Orlando VexleyWhich proves the voice carried it. Visuals are for actors who can't be heard through a wall.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorTell us about your new project.
Orlando VexleyIt's called Moss. It's a ninety-minute drama about a log, shot entirely from the log's point of view.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorAnd you play the log?
Orlando VexleyI play the log's father. He is stern and quiet and he is, strictly, a different log.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorLet me ask you a harder question. Have you ever actually played a deer?
Orlando VexleyWith respect to the craft, I'd rather talk about the antler.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorBut you didn't answer the question.
Orlando VexleyFine. In school I was a tree. Third tree. I was told I had no lines, and I wept.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorA tree.
Orlando VexleyThe reviews called me still. Nobody has ever said that about a deer.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorLightning round. Bambi or Chicken Little?
Orlando VexleyChicken Little. The sky falling is the only honest part of Disney.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorFinal question. Would you take the role of the deer, if offered?
Orlando VexleyThe tree has first refusal.
