Captain Planet, Page 3: An All-Star Cast!
Do you seriously know how many famous people were involved in Captain Planet? It's ridiculous. Here's the brief:
LeVar Burton as Kwame. This guy had a monopoly on kids' imaginations in the early 90s: this show for the hippy kids, "Star Trek: The Next Generation" for the nerdy kids, and "Reading Rainbow" for the literary kids. LeVar, the power is yours.
Whoopi Goldberg as Gaia. Oh happy day! Anything can be made better with Whoopi.
Edward Asner as Hoggish Greedly. I never really got this guy. Hoggish Greedly, I mean. Well, I guess I never really got Asner, either. I mean, I know the name, but I have no idea who he is.
Tim Curry as MAL. I think MAL was Dr. Blight's computer; kinda like HAL, but more into polluting things for senselessly evil purposes. He did play the devil in Legend, so I guess he's good at it.
Jeff Goldblum as Duke Nukem. Jeff Goldblum is so awesome.
Helen Hunt as... Additional Voices! She didn't even have a character with a name! She was just the woman that Captain Planet saved from the burning building.
Meg Ryan as Dr. Blight. I don't think I can see Meg Ryan as a villain. It would taint my image of her.
Martin Sheen as Sly Sludge. He was the one that always said, "You'll pay for this, Captain Planet!"
Sting as Zarm. Zarm was a conqueror from outer space who occasionally tried to incite nuclear war on Earth for absolutely no reason. But seriously, who would make a better intergalactic conquerer than Sting?
Scott Menville as Ma-Ti. Okay, I've never heard of him, either, but let's look at some of the other voices he's done: Robin in "Teen Titans" (that's right, the whiny, prepubescent superhero kid in tights), Joe McIntyre in "New Kids on the Block," Brian in "Rainbow Brite," Danny in My Little Pony: The Movie. Seeing a trend? But before you think he's a total pansy, let's look at his crowning achievement: Jonny Quest in "Jonny Quest"!! Actually, he was in the 80s remake of the original series, but still... Jonny Quest...
