July 30, 2013: Sam Daly's Thoughts on Voicing Superman

Sam Daly VoicesFromKrypton.net aptly interviewed Sam Daly about being cast to play the voice of Superman in the new animated movie "Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox". Sam, son of long-time Superman voice actor Tim Daly, talks about following in his father's footsteps and what it was like playing two very different versions of Superman in the one movie. Here's part of the interview...

    Q: Is there any special feeling that you're following in your father's footsteps with this character?

    SAM DALY: Of course. He said it best at the 75th Anniversary Superman panel at Comic-Con, that it's so incredible that we're the first ever father and son in real life to be part of the Superman family in one way or the other. To be able to have that bond with such an iconic character is something that they can never take away from us. Again, it's a humbling thing, because I grew up loving Superman so much, as did he. Now I get to actually put a voice behind him and the fact that my dad has done the voice for so long, is really an incredible experience. I'm so grateful and I hope to do lots more.

    Q: Did you have to audition for this? How did it come together?

    SAM DALY: This was actually my first ever voiceover work. What happened is that the wonderfully talented Andrea Romano - my dad had worked with her starting in 1996 - became a big fan of The Daly Show and loved watching that. It's sort of hard to ignore the fact that my dad and I do sound very similar to one another, so she called him up one day and said, "Listen, I have this new animated movie. It's a Justice League movie, but it's mainly about the Flash. Superman shows up in a much smaller role." She knew my dad was busy - he was going back East last summer to do a play - and she said, "Would Sam be interested?" Luckily enough I was sitting in the car with him when she called and I almost jumped through the phone to say, "Of course I am!" She brought me in, we hit it off, talked about it, did a few ADR sessions and that's how it all went down. It was all thanks to the brilliance of the amazing Andrea Romano. I owe her everything.
