Interview
I recently got contact with Kenny James and interview him in order to expand his page. He was really nice and accepted it.
- What is your date of birth? (You don't have to reveal your age if you prefer.)
I'm 52.- Where were you born?
Born in Nevada and grew up in Texas.- What was your life throughout school like? Would you classify yourself in a group? What sort of activities were you into?
I was a class clown. Never really cared much for sports. I was one of the laid back kids.- You are an actor right?
I've been very active in community theater for 10 years. Before that I used to be lead singer in several bands.- Was that something what you always wanted to do? Do you remember the exact year you started?
I always thought that acting would be fun. I started acting in February 2010. I probably starting singing in 1988.- How did you got into voice over?
I got the idea to start voice over in 2001. Never really worked on it until a few years later. One of the first auditions I got was for Bowser. I took a shot, and got the part.- Do you remember that first game you started voicing Bowser?
The first game that was released with my voice was Super Mario Strikers for the Game Cube.- Is it true you did an additional voice in the game like the Super Team (the robots)?
If I did it was done by Nintendo. The sessions are a buy out and they use the recordings as they see fit. All of the titles I have credit for were done from 3 recording sessions.- Are you a fan of video games, or do you even or ever play them?
Yes I have been a fan of video games since Pong. In fact, when you contacted me I was playing Star Wars Battlefront. And Hitman.- Is there anything you tend to say/do a lot when portraying Bowser?
When performing Bowser in the studio I tend to make claw hands. Somehow it helps me sound like a monster!- What do you like about Bowser?
I like that he behaves like a spoiled child. He has to have his way.- Asides Bowser, is there anything voice over you done for video games or non-video games?
I have voiced a few characters for two different online Dr. Who audio series. Also, I have a four audio books on Audible.com. I currently audition for just about any voice work.- Have you ever hear or met Charles Martinet (Mario's voice) as well as other character voice actors living in Washington?
Actually, I met Charles at Bad Animals studios during the session for Bowser's Inside Story. We sat in the lounge during lunch. He' s very nice. He flew from California to Seattle to record.- Anyone besides him you know, like Samantha Kelly (Princess Peach's voice)?
I did meet Samantha briefly during the same session. And the producer that I worked with has done some of the character sounds.- Is this what she looks like?
She looks familiar. We only met in the hall at the studio.- Do you play Nintendo games, are you a fan, what are your favorites from them?
My first Nintendo games were Super Mario Bros and Duck Hunt. Then I really liked playing the games on the Super NES. My favorite on the Wii is Mario Kart Wii. I have to admit I haven't played 3D World. I'd love to see how the Cat Bowser turned out. During recording we called him Meowser.- Do you have work outside of acting?
Yes. I work for a propane company as a service technician.- What do you like to do outside of work?
I like to play games, watch TV and act in community theater. I'm currently cast in The Musical of Musicals (The Musical). I also like to cook. I'm a pretty good home chef.- Do you happen to have a headshot, we can add to the wiki's article, with your permission. To be honest, i really don't where the current one came from.
If it is the picture of me with really long hair, that one is from about 2001. I took it with a Web cam. Funny. I don't use headshots, but I can probably find you something to use.- Thank you, Mr. James. Am going to end here, but might be a few question i might ask. But, thank you for chatting with me, this will really help expanding the article a lot. Again, thank you for your time and good night.
Your welcome!
