He did the voice of the piano-playing pachyderm named Woolie Mammoth from "Cats Don't Dance (1997)".
John Rys-Davies is such an eloquenty-spoken man, I could listen to him spin his stories all day.
Wonderful chat. JRD is an extremely thoughtful, intelligent, perceptive guy, not just a great actor.
I got to see him at megacon and he was so insightful and introspective. I could have listened to him talk and tell stories all day.
Played an amazing MACBETH in Disney's Gargoyles! Loved him as Gimli, Welsh and Acting Legend!
There's nothing more impressive than filling a role meant for Patrick Stewart, and naaailing it.
I could listen to him speak all day. He brought me to tears at times.
He does have such a rich and sonorous voice, and coupled with his accent I would definitely buy a series of recordings of him just generically rambling and telling nonsensical stories to follow asleep to.
John Rhys-Davies is national treasure! Love him as Sallah in the Indiana Jones movies, and I also love him as Man Ray (before Bob Joles took over), Cassim and Ranjan's Father (Bob Joles was also in this film as Bagheera)!
This whole thing reminds me of my conversations with my grandad where you'd ask him a simple question and he would tell you a whole novel with personal story's
which makes me wonder what it's like for his other kids, whom he presumably had _a bit longer ago_ than 18 years, who surely have kids of their own.. do they go play with their 18 year old aunt? XD I mean, good for him man. the equipment still working in your 60s, nothin to sneeze at.
John Rhys-Davies voiced Thor in the '90s Marvel cartoons.
Always fun to listen to John Rhys-Davies and see Jim Cummings sitting next to him...
I remember when John voiced Ranjan‘s father in The Jungle Book 2, where Jim reprised his role as Kaa, and also voiced Colonel Hathi and the MC monkey!
idk if he's ever done an audiobook but he needs to
From Wikipedia:
"Rhys-Davies is the narrator of The Truth & Life Dramatized audio New Testament Bible, a 22-hour, celebrity-voiced, fully dramatised audiobook version of the New Testament which uses the Revised Standard Version-Catholic Edition translation. In 2011, he presented KJB: The Book That Changed The World, which features him reading diverse snippets from the King James Version."
Wonderful. What a storyteller.
You should have heard me I was screaming 'Denathor' when the discussion of who John Noble played in TLOTR came up, not once but three times 😂. I did love the existential conversations about aliens though, food for thought there. He was wonderful in Sliders too.
JRD and Brian Blessed have unique voices in all media forms.
Well, that was surreal. Watched it today and couldn't stop thinking about it. Makes me think (unexperienced in podcasting as I am) that if we are in a universe where those two met:
a. it can't be all that bad of a universe,
& b. if that can happen, maybe my hoped-for "Rescue Rangers" cast reunion can, too? 🤷♀ 😂
“That still only counts as one!”
What a wonderful interview
Such a great team up this was
I adore this interview!
I met JRD at a convention last year. He was really nice. It warms my heart that he enjoys the cons. Same with Jim Cummings.
Still quite a shock both Man ray and Gimli are play by the same actor.
90's Marvel Thor! :)
and Jim also has voiced Thor in Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2. also both Jim and John also have portrayed The Kingpin too.
Sliders ftw
@9:25 Davies was unfortunately wrong since TT started in 1907 269 people have died racing
I don't think I would be able to resist asking him multiple rapid fire questions all relating to his time working on the fox tv series "sliders". lmao
JRD was the narrator for the video game Quest for Glory 4: Shadows of Darkness. The personality he brought to the role was absolutely brilliant.
I believe he has referred to the game as "the cd-rom from hell"
@@JohahnDiechter lol I also heard "that damned CD-ROM project"
i have a lot of Sir John Rhys-Davies works including my all times favorites SLIDERS Noble house, The Sword of the Valiant with Miles o'keef, Peter Cushing, Sean Connery, voyage of Honor with Sho Kosugi, voice in the lion guard, i have the indy movie saga, the lord of the rings entire sga as well, Shannara chronicles i have see on netflix and on amazon prime as well year back oh and a sci fi gem Ferocious planet dimensional travel movie that si a great adventure recorded from the sci fi channel, the sir Arthur Conan Doyles the lost world movies as well, just so many great treasures dear to my heart i am very very grateful appreciative for Mr. Davies's works and thank you Mr. Cummings for having him on your show much appreciated as well.
I could listen to Mr.Davies voice all day 😆or Jim doing Darkwing. Either or.
Cassim/Ranjan's Father reunited with Razoul/Farouk/King Louie/Kaa/Colonel Hathi/M.C.Monkey!
When it comes to UFO's... one thing to keep in mind... there's no way of knowing what the future might bring. In, say, 17th century NOBODY could imagine a supersonic jet, NOBODY could imagine a nuclear reactor. Despite that those things exist today.
So some civilization way ahead of us... who knows!
Oh, and best thing about the Alcubierre drive (aka warp drive) - time dilation isn't an issue as the ship technically doesn't move. For time dilation to kick in, the ship has to move and faster it moves, the slowed the time aboard the vessel is.
That really is what it would take, folding space somehow, without folding everything that travels through said space (which is a trick since we're part of space too).
I think that, while we don't know a fraction of what we think we know, which already isn't much, we do have a pretty decent grip of the storage of energy within matter (which is why he was saying fire is so important, the primary form of converting matter into energy). And how much energy it takes to move things at really ripping speeds, which ends up hitting one of those annoying curves on a graph so that a tiny increase in speed now requires you to add orders of magnitude to your energy, and even then fathoming how that energy could possibly be transmitted THROUGH matter in order to actually utilize it...
we're still figuring out how to turn sunlight into lightning, something it already knew how to do on its own with a bit of patience, but when you do the math on interstellar movement, the energy costs start to demand that you somehow siphon off and store everything a star could give you for a century
At least that's what the eggheads say. God knows they change their minds often enough.
Hurrah! 😊
"Please be nice guys" My man, there is evidence throughout history, even pre-history, of them being here for thousands of years. If they WEREN'T nice guys, we would have been gone CENTURIES ago. But that brings the question; WHY have they been visiting and watching for so long and NOT contact us or interfere in some way?
no one will remember denethor's name but they will always remember those cherry tomatoes
Can you get clancey Brown ?
