On our Alpha series Talkin’ Toons, where legendary voice actor Rob Paulsen interviews his colleagues, we make it our mission to have his guest play one of their most famous characters to help recreate classic movie scene. And in our latest clip from the show we might have done the impossible, because we turned a tense, amazing scene between Phillip Seymour Hoffman and Tom Cruise into the funniest episode of Cow and Chicken ever.
Rob’s guest this time was Charlie Adler, and the two read the scene from Mission: Impossible III when Phillip Seymour Hoffman’s Owen Davian counts to 1o while Tom Cruise’s Ethan Hunt does everything in his power not to tell him where the Rabbit’s Foot is located. Rob filled in for Davian as Carl Wheezer from Jimmy Neutron, and Adler took over for Hunt as his character Cow from Cartoon Network’s Cow and Chicken.
It’s not easy to go “bigger” than Tom Cruise when he’s really flipping out, but Cow managed to do just that, and it’s absolutely hysterical. How did Charlie Adler not pop a vein, though? That’s what you call a professional.
