Hello again everyone. I'm sorry to say that the test is indeed over. I went to do my show at DCA and there was no sign of Dave, Bunsen or the platoon of imagineers and staff there for the test.
In reference to comments that "the voice was off," Dave's Bunsen is definitely a deeper sounding voice than what I remember and from what reference material I had studied to get the part. Dave filmed a pitch segment as Bunsen with Steve performing Beaker about a year ago and when I was hired to play Bunsen, I was given a copy along with some segments from the Muppet show as character reference. Dave sounds different now than he did then, but there is still an air of recognition when you hear him speak. For the record, there's no way I could ever be upset over not having done the test run. I mean, dispite the Disney corporate mentality that actors are all easily replaced... Bunsen is Dave's character. With Jerry Juhl and others either no longer living, or no longer writing Muppet material, Dave knows that character better than anyone. If anyone has the authority to ad lib without betraying the character... its Dave. He really did a great job with it and I am glad to have met him.
I received a private message that I cannot respond to since I am a forum noob... Just google my user name and I'm sure you'll find out all you want to know about me, what I do and why I care about puppets so much.
Happy to be a part of the community. Thanks for all the words of welcome.
