Billy West Messed Up Big Time In Futurama’s Into The Wild Green Yonder
By WITNEY SEIBOLD
Voice actor Billy West plays several lead characters in the 31st-century sitcom “Futurama.” He sometimes has to converse with himself using two or more unique voices.
When talking to Movieweb in 2009, West revealed he started reading lines in the wrong voice for “Into the Wild Green Yonder,” a mistake no professional voice actor should make.
In the interview, West said, “It was the Professor voice coming out for Zapp Brannigan.” Zapp is known for his idiocy and lasciviousness, so it was contradictory.
West’s mixup was probably caused by the fact he was working long hours for the Futurama movies. He even admitted to being exhausted the day of the incident.
