Honed from his successful start in sketch comedy, Martin Short wields a wide array of voices and postures, which have served him well in crafting a career largely built around comedic personas. It’s not a huge surprise, then, that in Tim Burton’s new stop motion-animated movie, Frankenweenie, Short voices not one but three characters — unusual student Nassor, stern neighbor Mr. Burgemeister and the kindly Mr. Frankenstein, father to Victor (voiced by Charlie Tahan), a sensitive young boy who harnesses the power of science to bring back his beloved dog, Sparky, from the dead. I recently had a chance to speak to the 62-year-old actor one-on-one, about building characters through voice, the secret to auditioning, bad directors, and more. The conversation is excerpted over at ShockYa, so click here for the read.
