Oh man, I needed to tell you guys about this right away, but I couldn't find a pre-existing thread to go to.

So, in the next room right now, my father is watching a National Geographic documentary called "Egypt Underworld". I listened to it for a second and thought, "Oh hey, the narrator's got a nice, smooth voice...wait a second..."

The narrator is Dorian Harewood. I can't find an IMDb credit for him - let alone anyone on the documentary's page - but it's definitely his voice. I recognized the little attributes of his voice, like how it gets rougher (crackly?) when he's got hushed tones.

And if you didn't know, Harewood played Dr. Tenma in the 2003 series's English dub. Ergo, Dr. Tenma is narrating a 2009 documentary about pharaohs.

It is the weirdest experience ever, listening to this. :lol:

Here's the first part of the documentary! The audio is shifted to the left speaker, but that just makes it better if you're wearing headphones. Right as that video starts, it's like Tenma came up to your left ear and whispered "WE ALL DIE" to you.

Ha! cool, thanks for sharing!
Dorian Harewood has done alot of voices, including Shredder from TMNT, though only in 5 episodes.

Quite a handsome guy (and I'm SO glad he doesn't look at ALL like a rooster)!! Okay, somebody's gotta contact him so he can know he's a legend over here!! :lol:

Might be a good idea to start a thread about him, so we can keep track of what he's up to. Thanks, Fauna, that's great work!!

- hmmph!!!

Hah, that is so cool! It's funny to hear him in something other than Astro Boy, I keep expecting him to break out with "evolve Tobio, by fighting faster stronger robots, MWAHA!". Looks like 03 Tenma put world domination behind him to narrate a show! ^_^

:astro:

: That's my dad! I'm so proud of you! :cry:

Wow that sure is somethin else. Hmm I miss the insane laugh.
I'm a new member by the way...just thought is put that out there...

Anyways, It always is odd hearing voice actors out of their shows, huh?
