Whoa ! This just jogged my memory that I did voices for 'Spy Fox' back in the '90's ! Have I got a Spy thing going on? Coincidence...or something else ?
Awesome !! I’m blown away by not just the creativity of shork & team of artists, but the production: direction, animation, editing, narration !…. all top notch. So fun to watch, too.
M. Spy is honored. C’est magnifique !
A Spy monologue from 2007, that could have potentially been the early idea behind "Meet the Spy" has been found!!
(I made a big video explaining it all where you can watch the full thing too!🧵)
Little Spy man stands on my mantelpiece brandishing his pistola in one hand and spy knife in the other ! Watching over all of us ! Thanks again to our friend & master videographer, shork ! You are too kind.
for 9 months I have been trying to find one of the rare TF2 spy figurines at a non-lethal price, and last week I got to gift it to Spy's voice actor!
Dennis asked me 9 months ago in a private interview for a vid, if there was ANY way or anywhere he could find one! He's awesome!
Tomorrow...
I am releasing a video discussing and revealing a proposed "original version" of Meet the Spy! (never seen before)
A completely different version of the classic short we know and love today. Based on some "found media" from 2007.
see u soon :0
