Big name celebrities.

Post by CastletonSnob (?) » Mon May 27, 2019 7:13 pm

I'd like the show to have A-list celebrities guest star on it. I'm talking about people like Dwayne Johnson, Tom Hanks, Will Smith, or Leonardo DiCaprio. Why hasn't this happened yet?

Likely because they cost way more than they're worth and their roles always end up feeling dorky and forced. Take a look at The Simpsons for an example.

People like that tend not to do voice acting roles for TV shows. They might show up in movies, but even then, not often. When was the last time Will Smith did a VA role? That stupid fish movie? Has Hanks done anything but Woody? I don't think DIcaprio has ever done VA work.

Pony has gotten it's fair share of big name stars though. Patton Oswalt and Weird Al are big names. William Shatner, Felicia Day and John de Lancie aren't huge names, but have some well known pop-culture appeal with nerds.

My pony VA guest star wishlist has, for years, consisted of Alison Brie and Kristen Chenoweth, and we got Chenoweth in the movie so that’s one down. :good:

Also, she’s not a celebrity but I wish Jenny Nicholson could actually voice someone on the show.
