Jesse McCartney's Interview with USA Weekend


USA Weekend interviewed Jesse McCartney about voice acting and voicing Robin in the TV Show Young Justice - Premiering on Cartoon Network on November 26th, 2010. Read the interview below! Watch a clip of Young Justice here.

Are you a comic book fan?
I was never a huge comic book fan growing up but I was a big superhero fan. I enjoyed watching Batman and Superman and Spider-Man and all the big superheroes as a kid. I was specifically just a fan of cartoons in general, and that’s why I was so excited to be part of the project.

Did they come after you to play Robin?
I had worked with the director before on some other projects, and he gave me a call. He’s like, “We’ve got this project. You’ve gotta come in and put your voice down to see what you sound like as Dick Grayson. You may be a little too old because it’s the young Justice League and your voice is kind of lower.” So I went in there and put a little bit more of a pre-pubescent voice on the track. [Laughs] They called me and said they wanted me to play the role. I’ve done a lot of voiceovers for cartoons before, and it’s something I really enjoy doing.
