Kally's Mashup 2 - Kally está indecisa pois precisa tomar uma decisão muito difícil (Promo 2)



Nova temporada em 22 de outubro às 19h!

Kally’s MashUp is inspired by the real-life musical journey of Glee’s executive musical producer, Adam Anders. It follows the adventures of Kally, a young musical prodigy who tries to balance her life as a piano virtuoso and a regular girl when she moves from a small town to the most prestigious music university in the country. Although everyone thinks she was born to be a classical piano player, her true dream and passion is to be a pop star. Kally’s MashUp features original songs composed by Anders, his wife Nikki Anders, and longtime collaborator Peer Astrom. Anders serves as executive producer for the show and oversees all the music featured in the series.

Kally's MashUp stars a very talented cast from Argentina and Mexico, headed by Maia Reficco as Kally Ponce (Mica 6.3.5); Alex Hoyer as Dante Barkin; Sarah Cobo as Gloria Skyler; Mariano Chiesa as Mike Ponce; Betina O’Connell as Carmen Ponce; Marita Ballesteros as Rosario; Emiliano Dionisi as Carlos (Charly) Ponce; Josefina Scaglione as Abrankhousen; Sebastián Holz as Norman Skyler; Francisco Donovan as Félix; Daniel Campomenosi; Sarai Meza as Tina Barkin; Jackie Castañeda as Caridad; Fer Serrano as Lisa Barnes; Tomás Carullo as Kevin; Tupac Larriera as Alex; Daniela Flombaum as Lucy Magliano; José G. Zapiola as Tomás (Tommy) Greco ; Lalo Brito as Andrés (Andy) Guiderman; Milagros Masini as Olivia; Celeste Sanazi as Stefania (Stefi); Camila Mateos as Nicole; Cintia Torres Garcia; Facundo Giordano; Julieta Perez Cieri; Juan Martin Delgado; Carla Guidobono; Maximiliano Morales; Lucas Noacco; Florencia Ortega; Mario Juangorena; Sofia Miramon; and Maximo Espindola as Nando.

Kally's MashUp season one (75×60-minute episodes) debuted on Nickelodeon Latinoamérica in October 2017 and has since been seen by more than 5 million viewers across the Latin American region, achieving the No. 1 position in Mexico among girls aged 7 to 14 years. Following its success, Nickelodeon Latinoamérica recently ordered more new episodes.

A new line of consumer products inspired by the popular series was released earlier this year. "Kally's MashUp: La música: banda sonora original de la serie de TV", a album featuring 18 songs from the hit TV show, was released on Friday 9th March 2018 by Deep Well Records, under exclusive license to Sony Music Entertainment US Latin LLC. The album can be downloaded now at kallysmashupofficial.com. A live stage show is expected to launch during winter 2018. Nickelodeon Latinoamérica recently hosted a contest in which one lucky Kally's MashUp fan won the chance to feature in the season finale of Kally's MashUp 2.

Bergen County, NJ Native Picked From Thousands To Be New 'Blue's Clues' Host [Updated]

This N.J. Actor Grew Up with Blue's Clues. Now He's Hosting It!

New Jersey - Back in the '90s, when Josh Dela Cruz and his little sister used to watch Nickelodeon's beloved preschool series Blue’s Clues at his aunt’s Bergenfield home, the New Milford native never could have imagined he'd someday be chosen from more than 3,000 actors — among them, John Cena— to play Blue’s companion in the Nickelodeon show’s upcoming revival, Blue’s Clues & You.

“It’s absolutely nuts,” said Dela Cruz, 29, a stage actor who formerly appeared in Disney's Aladdin on Broadway, as Aladdin's understudy. “Never in a million years did I imagine when I was in Bergenfield, I’d be that guy someday.”

Dela Cruz was selected by former host Steve Burns in early September to star alongside the iconic puppy.

“I pinch myself every day. I keep thinking it’s a dream, and I’m going to wake up and I’m on a show where I got Punk’d.”

It’s been 12 years since Blue and host Donovan Patton, who '90s kids might remember as “Joe,” sang the last “Goodbye Song.” However, Dela Cruz says Nick Jr. has been eager to revive the preschool classic, having announced its reboot in March.

“From what I remember, Nickelodeon always wanted the show to come back, but it was all about timing,” Dela Cruz told NJ Advance Media. “We have an entire new generation of fans, and parents are just as excited.”


In the new reboot, Blue and host Dela Cruz will take viewers on "a clue-led adventure" and solve a daily puzzle, Nickelodeon's press office said. An official release date hasn't been announced, but production for a 20-episode order starts this month in Toronto.

Dela Cruz, who is Filipino, is the first Asian-American actor to take on the role of Blue’s companion.

“Growing up, I never saw anyone that looked like me on TV or film,” he admitted. “More specifically, I never saw anyone on screen that looked like me but played an American, one that didn’t have an accent or didn’t do karate.

“That hits home for me as such a strange thing. My favorite thing to read is people saying, ‘he looks like me.’ I never experienced that as a kid.”



He started out locally

Growing up in a karaoke-loving, Filipino-American household in Bergen County, Dela Cruz said he used to be a “pretty quiet kid” and didn’t like singing around people. But the more he watched Blue’s Clues, the more he’d start to sing along with Steve.

Dela Cruz started singing the “Mailtime Song” to his sister, leading him to grow comfortable with singing in front of others. Now, he credits Blue and Steve Burns for helping him “get past the shy barrier" and start singing in his school's choir.


When he was older, Dela Cruz joined New Milford High School’s theater program to make friends, but he never saw acting as a potential career until the summer before his junior year, during which he earned a coveted scholarship to study at the Paper Mill Playhouse in Millburn.

“That summer changed my life,” he said. “I was around people who wanted to do this for a living, and I felt at home.”

He went on to earn his musical theater degree at Montclair State University before landing a Broadway role as Aladdin’s understudy and an ensemble member. He also held the lead role for a limited time in 2017.

Yes, he got to meet Steve

Dela Cruz said he first landed an audition for the children’s show over the summer, but then a month went by and he hadn’t heard back yet. However, by the time August came around, his agent told him he had a callback.

“I thought I’d been out of the running by now,” he said.

But the following week, he was already at a screen test with producers, creators, a camera crew and sound technicians — and Steve Burns, too.

“They didn’t tell me he was in the room,” Dela Cruz said. “I did my scene, and they were like ‘Steve, you got anything you want to add?’ And he just emerges.”

The pair instantly bonded. “He’s one of the nicest human beings I’ve ever met,” Dela Cruz said.

“He automatically made me feel empowered, like I belonged there. And then all my jitters started to melt away.”

Burns, who is working as a consultant for the new show, said he gives Dela Cruz two thumbs up.

“He can definitely fill my shoes, and the rugby shirt,” Burns said in a statement through Nickelodeon.

Cathy Galeota, senior vice president of Nick’s preschool content, said, “Josh’s wonderful theater background and his natural charisma checked all the boxes for us, and of course Steve’s stamp of approval only solidified our decision.”


He's totally nostalgic for the 90s

Dela Cruz said his generation just barely missed the age group that would watch Blue’s Clues when it debuted, but like any 20-something-year-old who grew up in the 1990s, he's still sentimental Nickelodeon’s old programming.

“Nick was a huge part of my life,” Dela Cruz recalled. “They had great programming like Hey Arnold! when I was growing up. They spoke about real things. They got you excited about learning and experiencing different types of cultures.”

Nowadays, most of his friends who remember Blue’s Clues are getting married and have children of their own. Dela Cruz himself has been married for two years. He said he hopes families can bond over the show, which begins production in Toronto this month.

“I’m so excited to bring it to a new generation because they can watch with their parents who might have nostalgia with this show,” he said. “I want to get kids to be excited about curiosity, to not be afraid to ask for help, and just be silly and make mistakes.”

Update (10/3) - From The Huffington Post:

New 'Blue's Clues' Host Hopes To Be An Asian-American Role Model For The Next Generation

Filipino-American actor Joshua Dela Cruz's role in the Nickelodeon show could have a positive influence on young viewers' perceptions of Asian-Americans.

As children and nostalgic adults alike gear up for the reboot of iconic Nickelodeon kids’ show “Blue’s Clues,” young Asian-Americans looking for a relatable role model on the small screen have yet another reason to be excited.

The network recently revealed that Joshua Dela Cruz, a Filipino-American actor, will be the host of the new series, “Blue’s Clues & You.” And while much of the hype has focused on the reboot itself, Dela Cruz’s Asian-American identity isn’t something to gloss over.

"I had always felt that if you wanted to be on television, you had to know how to fight or have an accent. It was incredibly alienating." - Joshua Dela Cruz

Dela Cruz himself knows firsthand how important his role could be. He told HuffPost that he grew up believing that Asians in entertainment could exist only in a very narrow space.

“I didn’t see anyone who looked like me on American film and television. More specifically, there weren’t any Asian actors that played Americans,” he said. “I had always felt that if you wanted to be on television, you had to know how to fight or have an accent. It was incredibly alienating.”

Research has long shown that television has a significant influence on how kids perceive themselves and others, sociologist Nancy Wang Yuen told HuffPost. A 2011 study of white and black children revealed that while TV exposure led to an increase in self-esteem for white boys, the opposite was found for white and black girls as well as for black boys. Moreover, a 2013 study showed that even nonverbal behavior like facial expressions and body language can have an impact on viewers’ race biases.

For Dela Cruz, the effect of a lack of Asian-American representation hit him particularly hard during his senior year of high school, while he was working on an independent study project. For the assignment, he wrote an illustrated superhero comic ― a genre he’d always been passionate about. He still recalls the pride he felt as he formulated an origin story and created his character’s costume and powers.

He expected great praise from his art teacher after submitting the project, but he was instead met with a remark that forced him to confront his own identity struggles.

“[The teacher] tilted her head and looked at me again, saying, ‘Oh, usually people like to draw their heroes in their image,’” he remembered. “I had the opportunity to create an entire world and make my hero anything I wanted. What I had created that year was a superhero with blond hair and blue eyes, someone that looked nothing like me.”

“Finding my place in this world has always been something I’ve struggled with,” he added.

But Dela Cruz said he sought inspiration from fellow Filipino-American actor Lou Diamond Phillips, who the host feels “could play anyone, and do it better than anyone.” Dela Cruz, who acted alongside Phillips while working on Broadway’s “The King and I,” said the actor wasn’t just his childhood hero but also his cheerleader.

“He has a way of bringing complete strangers together and empowering them,” he said. “I remember being at a rehearsal and I was completely overwhelmed ― it was the biggest show I had ever done ― and during a break, he pulled me aside and said, ‘You belong here. They cast you because you belong here.’ I’ll never forget that. I’m forever grateful to him for it.”

"'Blue's Clues' can have tremendous cultural and educational influence on young children and their families while allowing Asian-American children to feel 'seen' on TV." - sociologist Nancy Wang Yuen

Yuen said that in his conspicuous role, Dela Cruz could positively influence how the younger generation views people of color if the show can responsibly delve into his Asian-American identity ― not just treat it as an aside.

“It is imperative that the show creates storylines and dialogue that highlights Dela Cruz’s heritage as an Asian-American, specifically Filipino-American,” the sociologist said. “‘Blue’s Clues’ can have tremendous cultural and educational influence on young children and their families while allowing Asian-American children to feel ‘seen’ on TV.”

As for Dela Cruz, he’s excited for the journey ahead.

“I’m honored to have the opportunity to empower a new generation of ‘Blue’s Clues’ hunters,” he said. “To help them learn to be kind, explore their curiosity and that anything is possible if you take things one step at a time.”

Bergen County Native Picked From Thousands To Be New 'Blue's Clues' Host

America, meet your new "Blue's Clues" host Joshua Dela Cruz.

The Filipino-American actor hails from Bergen County and was chosen by show host Steve Burns as his successor for the its Nickelodeon reboot as "Blue's Clues and You," the network announced on social media.

The Bergenfield native, 29, said it's a "wild, wild dream" to be at the helm of such an iconic show -- one that he grew up watching.

"'Blue's Clues' was about communicating," he said. "It taught me to be curious and ask questions and be silly."

Dela Cruz has appeared in Disney's Aladdin on Broadway as the understudy for Aladdin and ensemble member. He was also in "King and I" with Lou Diamond Phillips, "Here Lies Love and Encores!" and more.

Production will begin this month. No air date has been announced.

From NorthJersey.com:

'Blue’s Clues' returns with New Milford High alum as host

Joshua Dela Cruz is in a Toronto production studio standing in front of a green screen, talking to imaginary figures.

There is a good reason for this.

He is the new human host of "Blue's Clues & You," the reboot of the much-loved children's show that ran on Nickelodeon from 1996 to 2006, about an animated puppy named Blue who left a trail of clues so the viewing audience could figure out her plans.

It gained a following because of its interactive approach to children's programming, and it made stars out of hosts Steve Burns ("Steve") and later Donovan Patten ("Joe") and introduced the world to memorable characters like Mr. Salt and Mailbox.

Production began last month on the show. No premiere date has been announced.

For Dela Cruz, a 2007 graduate of New Milford High School and 2011 graduate of Montclair State University, it's a role that has challenged him, yet has amazed him.

"When I had first auditioned for the show, they first told me, 'You're going to be in a green box for about seven months, are you OK with that?' I said, 'Of course,' Dela Cruz recalled. "I was definitely surprised about how much of my imagination I have had to use."

And for the 29-year-old Filipino actor, who was born in the United Arab Emirates, lived in New York, and moved to New Milford when he was in the first grade, being the host is a dream coming full circle. He remembered watching the original "Blue's Clues," with his younger sister at their aunt's home in Bergenfield.

"It was such a huge part of my childhood and my younger sister's childhood, and hearing that it's coming back and knowing that there's a chance that I might be the next host of this show that was such a huge part of our lives is stunning," Dela Cruz said. "It was singing 'Mail Song' that got me comfortable singing out loud."

"Mail Song," also known as "Mailtime," is one of the notable tunes from the original show.

Dela Cruz's performing path to "Blue's Clues & You" started when he entered New Milford High School. His older sister encouraged him to get involved with extracurricular activities such as musical theater.

That would lead to the musical theater program at Montclair State University, where he met his future wife, Amanda Phillips, and then a career on screen and on stage, including as understudy in Disney's Broadway version of "Aladdin."

At his audition in March, he was among 3,000 hopefuls. Dela Cruz didn't think he would be in the running until he kept getting callbacks to do more screen tests.

When he found out he got the part, he was walking on water, so to speak.

"I was on a cruise ship visiting my wife, who was doing her contract, who is an actress ... My phone started ringing, and I just let it go for fear of a telemarketer. And then I realized, 'Oh, you should be expecting some news right now and it's a New York number, so you'd better pick it up," Dela Cruz said with a laugh.

He continued, "I picked it up and I don't really remember the conversation outside of 'Hey Josh, we just want to let you know that you got it.' I was stunned that I had [phone service], and then that I got the job."

Since then, he has been busy taping what will be 20 episodes. He is working with a production staff that includes Angela Santomero, one of the creators of "Blue's Clues" and a 1986 graduate of Northern Valley Regional High School, as well as a very familiar face in the "Blue's Clues" universe whom Dela Cruz first met during auditions.

Dela Cruz got to meet the original host of "Blue's Clues" while on set.

"The director gives me notes ... he starts to walk away, and he stops and turns around, 'Oh, Steve, do you have anything?' and then, emerging from the masking, he goes 'Oh, this is Steve Burns by the way," Dela Cruz said. Burns was once the subject of dark rumors of drugs and death (debunked by Snopes.com). Now, he is a consulting producer on the show.

When episodes start airing, Dela Cruz hopes children and their parents, especially Asian-Americans, will find inspiration in seeing him their TV screens.

"Probably, the best thing I have read and I have heard is that 'He looks like me,' and it rocks my world," Dela Cruz said.

NYCC: RISE OF THE TMNT IS MEANT TO TURN NYC INTO A MYSTICAL PLAYGROUND FOR KIDS (AND KIDS AT HEART)

We got turtle-y enough for the Turtle Club at New York Comic Con.

Why?

It's because we attended the the panel for Nickelodeon's Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.


Among those present were co-executive producers Andy Suriano and Ant Ward, who talked about the influences on the show's art style, which has its roots in the genre of fantasy, as depicted in the 1960s and 1970s.

"We say everything with the show is about chemistry and fun," said Suriano, who heavily hinted at a future appearance of classic Turtles villain Krang.

Ward added that they were fascinated with the idea of hidden realities, leading to the addition of more mystical elments to the property. One goal was to turn every facet of New York into a fantastical playground for kids watching at home. This is a show for kids who look up to their parents and ask with complete sincerity (the kind only children have) if there really are butt-kicking turtles living in the sewers.

Of course, that didn't mean they could deviate too much from the original property. Voice director Rob Paulsen (a legendary voice actor in his own right) went on record as saying that what surprises him most about the TMNT franchise is “the depth of love of the fan base.”

In the photo below, you can see (sitting from left, to right): Maurice LaMarche (Foot Lieutenant), Rob Paulsen (Foot Clan Lieutenant), Kat Graham (April O'Neil), Brandon Mychal Smith (Michelangelo), Josh Brener (Donatello), Omar Benson Miller (Raphael), Ward, and Suriano. The only pincipal cast member not present was Ben Schwartz, who voices Leonardo.

And since Maurice LaMarche was also present, the audience was treated to some Pink and the Brain action. Both Paulsen and LaMarche voice characters on Rise, playing two members of the Foot Clan. However, their P&TB relationship is now reversed here, LaMarche said. He's the dim one now and Paulsen is the smart one.

Josh Brener, talked about how his brothers wouldn't let him play with their Ninja Turtles action figures when they were growing up. But now, well, Brener's got his own toy. "Suck on that!" he exclaimed to his absentee siblings. Wow, that mustv'e been festering under the surface for a while.

The series (already renewed for a second season) is currently in the middle of its first season, with the next two episodes ("Shell in a Cell" and "Minotaur Maze") airing tomorrow, Oct. 6.

Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Reveals New Villains

Iconic Pinky & The Brain voice duo takes on the Foot Clan on Nickelodeon’s Rise of the TMNT.

Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles arrived on Nickelodeon on Sept. 17. It’s tough following up the long-running and beloved previous TMNT series, which aired on Nickelodeon between 2012-2017, but Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is quite a departure, introducing an all-new voice cast, a dynamic return to 2D animation, and some new mythology for the characters.

But it also reunites the iconic voices of Pinky and the Brain, Rob Paulsen and Maurice LaMarche as the villainous Foot Lieutenant and Foot Brute, respectively. Like the rest of the series, this is a new take on the Foot Clan, and Paulsen and LaMarche have flipped the dynamic of their old Pinky and the Brain roles. Paulsen, of course, also voiced Raphael in the original TMNT animated series, and Donatello in Nickelodeon’s other recent iteration of the series. On Rise, he also serves as voice director.

I was fortunate enough to talk to Paulsen and LaMarche before the Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles panel at NYCC, where they told me what it was like creating the new voices of these characters, the importance of working together in the booth, and much more.

Check out this clip from the upcoming episode “The Longest Fight,” which sees Paulsen and LaMarche as the voices of the Foot Lieutenant and the Foot Brute. This is a new take on the Foot Clan, and then read the interview below!

Den of Geek: The Foot Brute and Foot Lieutenant seem like edgier characters than we've seen on the rest of this show so far. How did you create these voices for them? They're different from what fans are accustomed to hearing from you.

Maurice LaMarche: I think the perfect thing was that Rob is the voice director and what a treat to be directed by my good buddy over here because he has so many brilliant ideas. When we walked in, he just kind of laid out who these guys were. For once, I'm playing the less smart one, the less witty one. And he's playing the genius, which is apropo of our real life.

Rob Paulsen: That's really high praise coming from Moe and certainly I will accept that compliment in the spirit in which it's delivered by my dear friend. But, obviously, when you're working with a guy like Moe, it is pretty much an endless well of ideas. Remember, the VPs of the show all had great ideas and the way typically things go is that … sometimes they bring in a picture, they give you ideas of what they think they want. And then it's our job to throw a bunch of stuff against the wall and sort of see what mutually excites everyone.

And with Moe, it doesn't take very long. And they just go, "Okay, let's do that." The thing that is a bit different for me, specifically, as Moe suggests, is that most of the things that people know me for are comedic, sometimes snarky, smart-assy kind of characters. And I love that. Or stupid, in the case of Pinky. But kind of happy characters. But Moe has a really broad range and he can play a lot of bad guys, or guys of questionable intent. It is different for me to be that guy for sure.

Maurice: Yeah, I remember seeing model sheets. And I knew my guy was big, so I just kind of brought a big sound for him, you know? That's kind of my way of working. I look at characters ... if I'm lucky enough to be supplied with a model sheet, I just look at the character and channel it. So we threw around a couple of sounds and we arrived at the gravely sound.

I originally played him maybe a little, as I recall, too dumb. And we kind of made him a little more understandable because he was very marble mouthed and we put power into his voice. So there was a little bit of fine-tuning there and it was ... we came up with the characters we've got. The lieutenant was amazing because as Rob said, I'm not used to hearing him be villainous. These two guys will mess with you.

Rob: Right. And they wrote it that way so we do kind of lead folks in and manipulate them and stuff and I'm pretty gnarly. But what's really great is we also have these opportunities to go off and ... particularly my character gets to kind of roll his eyes and...those are really fun ways to incorporate a natural humorous quality to something that's not always so dark.

Because the whole vibe of the show is a little funnier. And the characters they draw and put together for the big celebrity talent, John Cena and John Lydon and Lena Headey, they all have comedic aspects of them that really makes the story go all over the place and it's a blast to work on.

But one more thing with respect to working with Moe. We worked together a lot over the last 25 years and not just on Pinky and the Brain and it is effortless to work with a guy like Moe who is also a dear friend. There really is a thing about chemistry that, at the risk of sounding too fancy-schmancy, when you talk about really great comedy teams throughout at least my lifetime, there is, to be sure, a chemistry that happens. And I gotta say Pinky and the Brain really cemented that for the two of us. So when we get the chance to do this together, it is a natural thing to be able to feel each other's instincts and I don't think it's surprising that these two characters seem to be working. It's just a blast.




Den of Geek: You know it's interesting that you say chemistry because I know with a lot of shows, everybody kind of does their vocal parts individually. But because you guys have such a history together, did you work in the booth together for any of this?

Maurice: Always. And tell them in your Rob Paulsen voice, would you?

Rob: I never work without my “Brain.” That was by design, too. The producers and the folks at Nickelodeon have been very kind to me in my role as director, because when they said, "Hey, Moe's coming in." I said, "Okay, if we're gonna do this, please and obviously we have to work around Maurice's very busy schedule, but if I had the choice, I should say, please bring us in together." Not only is it a lot of fun, but the show will be better with respect to our particular parts if we work together. And I don't think they would change that. It's much better when we're together.

Den of Geek: Rob, this is also your third go around with the TMNT. How early were you brought on as voice director for this? How early in development of this particular show?

Rob: Very. In fact it was January of 2017. It is certainly not my daily work and I made it very clear from the beginning that I didn't want other voice directors who are close to Maurice and me, Andrea Romano, Chris Zimmerman, Kelly Ward, people like that who are really excellent in town. I would never want anyone to feel like I was trying to snake a gig from them. But they said, "No, we really think this might work and it was a mutual idea to say lets get half a dozen episodes." And I told them right from the beginning, I was utterly eager less in this pursuit because I'm good at my job, but this is a new thing for me and if we get half way into it and somebody says, "Hey Rob, we really dig you as an actor, but you don't know anything about this side of the business," no harm, no foul.

So far, everything seems to be going well. I love doing it.

Maurice: I'll just jump in on that and add that we're saying this ... I speak for myself, saying this because you are a very good director. Everybody loves Rob Paulsen. One of the sweetest guys in the world and an amazing talent as a voice actor, but you also kick ass as a director. You talk to an actor as a fellow actor, so you discuss things an actor wants to know, like what the character wants and what the setting is. Where we are in this scene. Because in animation you don't always get that from a script. He really speaks with a compassion to the actor, while making it fun.

Rob: Thank you. And it is a remarkable experience to have three cracks at, pun intended, an evergreen franchise, I mean are you kidding me? The thing about this franchise in particular is that you think about it, when we work in the studio and we have a ball and we go home, and again, people don't recognize you walking down the street. But man, I'm telling you something, I can go pretty much anywhere and people would know Ninja Turtles. It's unbelievable and so much so that every time I have time to chat with Kevin Eastman, one of the creators of the show, inevitably, if we have more than five minutes of conversation, it comes up. Even the creator looks around and says, "Oh my God. I forget sometimes because I'm just standing in line at a CVS and it's Halloween and there's a whole bunch of Ninja Turtle Halloween balloons." And he goes, "Oh my God. That's right. I created that." It's really mind blowing to be part of it and it is as popular now as it's ever been.

Den of Geek: And as a vote of confidence, Nickelodeon renewed you for a second season before the first season even aired.

Rob: They did give us quite a vote of confidence and I think it is because it's a different take on the show. It's certainly different than the last one and that was by design. When you have a franchise that is pretty bullet proof and so strong, it's exciting to see what new artists put into it.

Den of Geek: This was so much fun. Thank you both for taking the time.

NYCC: HERE'S WHY SHREDDER IS NOT IN RISE OF THE TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES

Nickelodeon rebooted the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles yet again just a few weeks ago, and one big question still remains: Where in the world is Shredder?

This query was posed to the Rise of the TMNT team at New York Comic Con by (are you ready for it?) a young boy. "He's in all the other shows," said the kid, summing up his point as beautifully and simplistically as possible.

While this drew the obvious bout of laughter from the audience, executive producer Andy Suriano offered a very articulate and logical answer.

“We wanted to do something unexpected," he said in reply. "If you have a bad guy like Shredder in each episode, you know where [the story is] going ... At least for the first bit, we wanted to do something different … we wanted new villains, like Batman ’66 villains … and have fun in that world for a bit.”

Indeed, Rise of the TMNT is helping build out the mythology by introducing new villains such as Meat Sweats (Johnny Rotten of The Sex Pistols), Baron Draxum (John Cena of the WWE), and Big Mama (Lean Headey of Game of Thrones).

The series is currently in the middle of its first season, with the next two episodes ("Shell in a Cell" and "Minotaur Maze") airing tomorrow, Oct. 6.

RISE OF THE TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES NYCC TRAILER

Nickelodeon brought Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles to this week's New York Comic-Con and unleashed the following footage and images.

Nickelodeon’s Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles voice cast and co-executive producers gave fans at New York Comic Con a look at what’s in store for the Turtles and April O’Neil during a panel at the Jacob Javits Convention Center. Moderated by Mike Cecchini (Den of Geek), the panel featured voice actors Omar Miller as Raph, Josh Brener as Donnie, Brandon Mychal Smith as Mikey, and Kat Graham as April O’Neil, along with the co-executive producers Andy Suriano and Ant Ward, and legendary voice director Rob Paulsen. Special guest Maurice LaMarche (Pinky and the Brain) made an appearance to discuss his role as the Foot Brute.

The panel featured a sneak peek at the upcoming episode, “The Longest Fight,” where Paulsen and LaMarche reunited behind the mic as Foot Lieutenant, the de-facto leader of the Foot Clan, and Foot Brute, the Foot Lieutenant’s right hand man. Additional highlights included art and clip reveals from upcoming new episodes of Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

The series stars the voice talent of Omar Miller (Ballers) as Raph, a jagged-shelled snapping turtle; Ben Schwartz (Parks and Recreation) as Leo, a red-eared slider turtle; Josh Brener (Silicon Valley) as Donnie, a soft-shell turtle; Brandon Mychal Smith (You’re The Worst) as Mikey, a box turtle; Kat Graham (The Vampire Diaries) as April O’Neil, a street savvy native New Yorker; Eric Bauza (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles) as Splinter, father figure and sensei to the Turtles; and WWE Superstar John Cena as the villainous, Baron Draxum.

Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles premiered on Monday, Sept. 17, on Nickelodeon. New season one episodes will continue to air throughout 2018. The new 26-episode series is co-executive produced by Andy Suriano (character designer, Samurai Jack) and Ant Ward (supervising producer, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles) at Nickelodeon in Burbank. Veteran animation industry voice actor Rob Paulsen is voice directing the series.

Rob Paulsen & Maurice LaMarche Enlist in the Foot Clan for RISE OF THE TMNT

A reversal of roles for the former Pinky and the Brain voice actors

There have been countless beloved comedy duos over the decades like Laurel and Hardy or Abbott and Costello, but children of the bygone 90’s will undoubtedly agree that Rob Paulsen and Maurice LaMarche deserve to be among those legendary ranks. Possibly best known for voicing Pinky and the Brain respectively, those genetically altered lab mice with their nightly crusades to try (and unsurprisingly failing) to take over the world and whose iconic catchphrases from “”Narf” to “Are you pondering what I’m pondering” are still remembered to this day, even decades later Paulsen and LaMarche still maintain a friendship just as strong as Pinky and Brain albeit with less verbal and physical abuse.

Though Paulsen and LaMarche have worked together on various animated projects, Nickelodeon’s Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is significantly different in that Paulsen has taken on the role as voice director for the series. But you can’t take the actor out of Paulsen quite so easily, since he also plays the villainous Foot Lieutenant with LaMarche, his former “Brain” ironically voicing the dimwitted Foot Brute. It’s a fun reversal of roles that’s not lost on either actor.

During New York Comic Con I had the opportunity to interview Paulsen and LaMarche and let me tell you, these two entertainers are just as animated and hilarious as the various cartoon counterparts they’ve voiced in the course of their extensive careers.

Taimur Dar: I was recently talking with my parents about how TMNT was an enormous part of my childhood—

Rob Paulsen: Did your parents buy action figures?

Dar: Oh yeah, absolutely!

Paulsen: Then thank you Taimur’s mother and father because as a result of your kindness my child’s teeth are straight today.

Dar: [Laughs] Besides being the voice of Raphael in the original 1989 cartoon, Rob, you’ve mentioned in your podcast how much your own son loved TMNT growing up as a child of that era like myself and so many others. So I was curious Maurice if TMNT was a part of your own son’s childhood?

Maurice LaMarche: Jonathan, my boy who’s now a man of 24, came along a little bit later. He watched the Canadian version of the Turtles as a kid. So yes, it was a part of his life but not the Rob Paulsen version. He never got really into animation.

Paulsen: He’s a crazy town musician. He’s got it all. Really handsome, really talented, very nice and so unlike his father.

[LAUGHTER]

LaMarche Also incredibly slim! He’s a great boy as is your son.

Dar: When they were casting, were you aware that Rob was going to be the voice director?

LaMarche: Yes. I didn’t think I was going to get anywhere near it. The first news I heard was from Rob. We text each other all the time. I got to do a couple of episodes of the last iteration as that Marlon Brando sounding frog. We not only play friends on TV we actually are friends. I think I was one of the first people Rob texted that he would directing the next iteration of Turtles. At no point did I go, [deep voice] “Oh good, I got a guy on the inside. Hope he gets me in there!”

But they did make a call and they did say that I would be good for Foot Brute. I said, “Hey, I’m there for Foot anything. I have a foot fetish…

Dar: [LAUGHS]

LaMarche: I’m kidding. I don’t actually have a foot fetish except when it comes to playing characters from the Foot Clan. I got to the studio and the first time there I forgot that he was the director because we’ve been clowning around with each other for nigh on 25 years. It took me a second to go, “Oh wait a second. He’s the boss on this one.”

I thought he [Foot Brute] would be a one-off and these guys [Foot Brute and Foot Lieutenant] have been back every third or fourth episode.

Paulsen: What’s really cool, especially for guys like “Moe” and me, we’re really good at our job and we’re very lucky but in the traditional sense we’re not celebrities. We get the characters that are famous. We have people like Lena Headey from Game of Thrones, John Cena, Rhys Darby from Flight of the Conchords, John Lydon which is a big deal for me because he’s Johnny Rotten for God’s sake. They’re rock stars and movie stars. Kat Graham, Omar [Benson Miller], Ben [Schwartz], Josh [Brener]—all TV people.

The great thing about Nickelodeon is that they understand that there is a huge fanbase who is very aware of what Maurice and I do. From the beginning when I got to work, Ant [Ward] and Andy [Suriano] said, “Do you think Maurice will work on the show?” Not, “Do you think Maurice will audition?” There was never a question about that. They have treated “Moe” and me with utter deference in the same celebrity vein as they have with John Cena and all the other famous people by including us with these celebrities who are being featured in the show. They asked if Maurice and me would do it and that’s a big deal to us. We do not take that lightly.

Dar: As you mentioned, besides acting as the voice-director Rob also voices Foot Lieutenant. When you record your lines together are you on opposite sides of the glass?

Paulsen: I work with “Moe.” We sit next to each other.

LaMarche: That’s why I said it was hard for me to remember that Rob is a fellow actor AND he’s directing our segments of the episode. We [the cast] don’t often get to record together not only because of the schedules of our celebrity friends but also ours. The voice actor is the nice smelling plumber.

Paulsen: Beautifully said!

LaMarche: We’re running around from studio to studio. On a good day you got four sessions and you’re bopping around! So my agent will say, “You can have ‘Moe’ from 4-5 but he’s busy all the rest of the day. He’s got a cartoon the next morning and he’s gotta leave to go do a promo.” I’m very lucky to be working that much.

So when we do it, it’s often just Rob and me, and that’s why I often forget he’s directing. It’s tremendous fun and I love hearing my friend speak the voice of the director and yet still talk “actor” to me.

Dar: Rob, on your previous two tours of duty in the TMNT franchise, you had the great fortune of working with possibly two of the best voice directors in the business, Sue Blu and Andrea Romano. Has there been anything you’ve learned from them that you’ve been able to apply now that you’re in the voice director chair yourself?

Paulsen: Thank you for asking. It sounds like the pat answer but it’s the truth. As “Moe” said, I learned to speak to actors. I know a lot of people I’ve worked with and I can mess with. And I love that camaraderie because I get to work with people who are my very best friends in the world, one of whom is sitting right here. I love Maurice with all my heart. He’s one of my very best friends. We have a lot of other mutual friends with whom we work on a regular basis. Not everybody gets the joke the way we do.

As a result of seeing how Sue and Andrea—and you are right in mentioning them in the pantheon, I am not even in their shadow. But I know now how to work with actors, new folks and celebrity talent coming in who are, believe it or not, very insecure when they get into the booth because they hear Maurice or Tress [MacNeille] or Frank [Welker] and they go, “I can’t do that.” And I reassure them and tell them that they don’t have to do that. I know how to make them relax because I’ve seen how people do it with others. So that’s really what I learned from people like Sue and Andrea and I’m very grateful. It’s not hyperbole. They’re the best.

Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles premiered on Monday, Sept. 17, on Nickelodeon. New season one episodes will continue to air throughout 2018. The new 26-episode series is co-executive produced by Andy Suriano (character designer, Samurai Jack) and Ant Ward (supervising producer, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles) at Nickelodeon in Burbank. Veteran animation industry voice actor Rob Paulsen is voice directing the series.

POP! Exclusive: Kat Graham inspires fans through character ‘April O’ Neil’

Fans who loved Kat Graham as Bonnie in the CW series “The Vampire Diaries,” are in for a treat as the actress returns to TV as April O’ Neil in the Nickelodeon show “The Rise of The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.”

In this exclusive interview with InqPOP!, Kat Graham gets personal with us about her career in the film industry, her new series, her role in inspiring fans as April O’ Neil, and her special message for Filipino fans.

Here’s what the American actress shared with us:

On her acting and music career

At 3 or 4 years old, Kat Graham told her mom that she wanted to be an actress. But unlike many aspiring thespians, Graham didn’t find her inspiration from movie actresses and actors; rather she found them through female singers. She names Janet Jackson, Paula Abdul, and Jennifer Lopez as the artists that influenced her decision to be a part of the entertainment industry.

Though her interest in music did not come out of nowhere. As Graham tells InqPOP!, her career in Hollywood actually began as a singer.

“I got into music when I was about 14. [At that age,] I was making music, engineering [songs] and also, producing. I started singing when I was probably 16 or 17. And that’s when I started working with Will.I.Am. – I toured with him for a while. And then, I went solo and that’s when I got signed to Interscope. After releasing a couple of dance hits, I decided to go independent – then, that’s when I started working with Babyface,” Graham shares.

However, she never forgot her love for acting and she returned to landing roles in the film and television industry.

On “Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles”

Kat Graham admits that she’s been a fan of the Ninja Turtles growing up.

“I’ve watched almost every single incarnation of Ninja Turtles. I grew up watching it in 2D,” the actress exclaims. “It was just about these four brothers that come together to fight crime and it just felt superheroic. Children should be able to have a show like that on TV.”

And being a part of “The Rise of the Ninja Turtles” series elevated her excitement in reliving happy childhood memories. She says, “When I found out that they had made our show 2D, I was very excited ‘cause I remembered the classic, iconic 2D toons.”

Graham adds that fans of the franchise will be pleased to know that some aspects of the pre-existing Ninja Turtles films and series have been retained in the new Nickelodeon show. But she hints at some surprising differences, as well.

“We still have a lot of the classic elements to it like the colors, but the animation is different. Even the set they’ve drawn for the show is very different. The villains are also super colorful and really interesting. Obviously, April is African-American now and that’s different from the pre-existing April. But it’s weird, cool, and wild – and there are just so many new and amazing things to watch out for in this show!”

On inspiring fans through her role as April O’Neil

When it comes to choosing roles, Kat Graham takes three things into consideration.

“I look at the people that are a part of it (movie or television production). I look at the script. And then, I ask myself, ‘is this a character that girls are going to be inspired by – that women are going to be inspired by?’ – I look at all that before I decide to take on anything or any job,” Graham explains. “It has to have a much more deeper, more profound root. It has to grow into something that will mean a lot to someone.”

So when she was given the role of April O’ Neil, she was ecstatic to play a character that would be able to inspire a generation of young girls everywhere.

“April was a part of everything that the turtles would do, but she also stood on her own and had her own sense of self. And I just love how powerful she seems. [And] because she’s a young girl, I think it’ll really inspire a lot of people if I did it right.”

When we asked how she felt about representing an African-American April O’ Neil in television, the actress says, “I hope I’m bringing a different dimension to the character. I think there’s no one way to be black and showing this character as a young woman, who dresses how she dresses and is very much her own person, will inspire other girls of color.”

On her Filipino fans

Before we ended our interview, Kat Graham shared this special message to her Filipino fans:

“I always felt that I was an honorary Filipino. And I hope you will feel connected to April O’ Neil. I hope you’ll enjoy seeing a kickass girl fighting crime alongside these super iconic, heroic characters. Lastly, I hope you’ll see yourselves in her and feel super empowered.”

Filipino fans can watch the actress lend her voice to April O’ Neil in “The Rise of The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles” on Nickelodeon.
