Spawn: The Animation

[Missy]

My comments are in bold.

IDT Entertainment and Todd McFarlane Productions has announced an incredible lineup of Hollywood talent providing voices for the characters featured in the return of Todd McFarlane's Spawn Animation, including Keith David returning in the lead character voice role of Spawn.

The ensemble cast of actors, actresses and musicians include:

— Keith David ("Pitch Black," "Something About Mary") as the voice of Spawn, the tortured soul on an eternal battle with evil, caught between heaven and hell.

He was also the voice of Spawn in the original, ass-kickingly cool HBO animated Spawn.

— Carl Weathers ("Rocky," "Predator") lends his voice talent as Captain Edwards, a long time police captain who tries going by the book despite rampant crime.

— Mark Hamill ("Star Wars," Batman: The Animated Series) plays the voice of Twitch, a seasoned overly analytical detective tormented by the evil lurking in NYC's alleys.

Nice choice!

— Michael Jai White (SPAWN the Movie, "Exit Wounds") lends his voice to Barabbas, right-hand man to Russian gang boss Lukas. As the enforcer of the gang, he oversees all protection and disciplinary action within the gang.

I like this.  It's a cool little nod at the film.

— Bruce Boxleitner ("Tron," "Babylon 5") will be the voice of Ainge, a dirty cop with only one thing on his mind: money. Someone only truly interested in himself over and above everyone else.

— Cree Summer ("Atlantis: The Lost Empire," "Star Wars: Clone Wars") actress/singer/songwriter lends her voice talent as Marie, a pretty young Cajun girl hidden beneath the surface of a tormented drug addict with frightening other worldly visions.

— Peter Jessop ("Resident Evil," "Medal of Honor" -video games) will voice Lukas, the vicious leader of a brutally violent street gang looking to control more than just the streets and back alleys of Hell's Kitchen.

— Jon Polito ("The Rocketeer," "The Man Who Wasn't There") is the voice of Sam Burke, the dangerously passionate detective eager to stop the evil in NYC.

— Clancy Brown ("The Shawshank Redemption," The Batman) will voice Mammon, a mysterious dark figure plotting against Spawn for reasons yet unknown, a man with a ferocious appetite for power.

— Jesse Corti ("CSI Miami," "Resident Evil: 4") will voice Pedro, rival gang leader and number one nemesis of Lukas.

— Phil LaMarr ("Pulp Fiction," "Samurai Jack") is the voice of Perry, a strung out, immature, trouble maker in way over his head.

And for the record, this is totally separate from the HBO cartoon.
