Voice actor JP Karliak joins me for a fantastic conversation about bringing memorable characters to life across some of pop culture’s most beloved worlds. We explore his work as Gramps in Star Wars: Visions Presents – The Ninth Jedi, Morph in X-Men ’97, and the creativity and craft behind finding a character's voice and personality. JP also shares his animation experience, his connection to these incredible stories, and what it means to be part of franchises that mean so much to generations of fans. Pour a cup, join the conversation!
