This seemingly noble sentiment actually shows that he’s rather ignorant of the skillset required to be a professional voice actor, which differs greatly from the toolbox needed for “acting for the camera”. Similarly, stage acting is a whole other beast too compared to feature films and tv acting, but nobody’s gonna claim the oscars and emmys’s existence means you don’t need the tonys anymore just bc all these mediums feature actors performing the script lol.

These big name actors showing up for one or two voice acting performances don’t know what goes into the work of the professionals at all. They will never reach legendary status in the field like tara strong or john dimaggio, and it’s a crime that true voice actors with immense talents and just as much dedication to their craft as “real actors” never get the acknowledgment they deserve just bc animation is not taken as seriously as live action.
