And today, we're gonna be doing a little cartoon breakdown. And my character, Hermes Conrad, is the certified bureaucrat of Planet Express. Wow, you look happy. Is someone fired? The Central Bureaucracy is conducting an inspection tomorrow.
I first got involved with Futurama just auditioning. Came in along with hundreds of other people to audition for the guy who created The Simpsons. It was a little intimidating. It was tough trying to figure out where the character might be 'cause it was a brand new show. We knew it wasn't The Simpsons, but that's all we knew. And I'm looking at the character, and they're telling me he's, you know, a bureaucrat, an accountant.
So I think I was doing just sort of a, you know, this kind of voice. Ah, yes, Fry, Professor, I'd like you to meet someone. This is Doctor Zoidberg. Then about three episodes in, the writers sort of realized that the Hermes character was fine, but they didn't really have anything that was working, working. And I remember Matt Groening coming up to me in the hallway, and said, Well, we just wanna try something with Hermes. Can you do a Jamaican accent? I said sure, I can do that.
I auditioned for Cool Runnings just like every other Black man in whatever. Adding the accent gave the character another dimension, added depth. And then laying accountant stuff on top of 'em. Like okay, so what if he's sort of laid back but not laid back at all. I think actually, had Matt not suggested that, I probably wouldn't be sitting here. I probably wouldn't have made it past episode four. This isn't supposed to be fun.
We've got a job to do, and we will do it better without distractions. This was really a powerful, special moment for me 'cause I grew up as a comic book fan. It was wild to be The Green Lantern. I'd seen Bruce Timm's work on Batman Beyond and knew the character designs and all that. And in terms of finding the voice, that was sort of easy to do. Because the way he draws men, they've got these little tiny legs and these great big chests. So you feel like everybody's gotta have a deep voice. They talked about the character.
It was like, well, he was a Marine. He was from Detroit. And I'm like oh well my dad's from Detroit. So I added a little bit of a level, sort of an homage to my dad, because my dad was like a, you know, sort of this smoky voice, so I wanted to put a little of that in there. So it wasn't just, you know, I'm big hero. It was also a little bit of this, you know. The guy has, he's been somewhere. He's done some things, you know. My name is John Stewart, Green Lantern of sector And now here's Ollie Williams with the Black-u-Weather forecast.
That's about the easiest job in show business. That's it. I would come in to record, and Seth would be directing. And it would basically be a 30 second work day. We'd walk in, Seth would go, Hey, how you doing, Phil?
It's like, Good, good, how are you? Let's go live to Ollie Williams with the Black-u-weather report. Sounds rough, Ollie. There have been a few times where you stretch it out a little bit. The time that they cut to Ollie, and he was high. Not too bad. But generally speaking, it's a very nicely self-contained joke. I've been really lucky to work with some of the most creative people of the last 20 years. I don't remember asking you a goddamn thing. And Genndy Tartakovsky is definitely among that pantheon.
He did something with that cartoon that had never been seen in American animation. The first episode has nine and a half minutes of silence. Everything was [gibbers]. No, he said, I want a show that has action. It also tells a story with everything at our disposal. Not just words. Music, sound, color. And it was also I think groundbreaking in that the characters had no black outlines, which at the time nobody did.
We sat down in the booth and Genndy was there and just sort of you work back and forth with the creator to try to find the voice that he's hearing in his head. The only reason he had an accent was to tie him to his roots and to honor that he was coming from ancient japan.
And it was interesting because a few years before I was part of a comedy group that was predominately Japanese called Cold Tofu. Lot of the folks in the group were, you know, first or second generation Japanese-Americans who had grown up hearing Japanese. And I noticed that they had, not an accent so much as just a way of speaking, which is like oh this is how you speak English if you're hearing Japanese at the same time you're hearing English.
So instead we had a little bit of the accent. There were simply words that he would say in a way that he had heard something differently growing up than you had. I'm alive. Virgil was a 14 year old boy in city of Dakota who accidentally gets superpowers and then becomes a hero. But at the same time, he's also a 14 year old boy. So he's gotta go to school, he's gotta finish his homework.
He's gotta deal with his annoying sister. Since when does your narrow behind play football at all? Who asked you, Miss Nosy? And fight for what's right. That was actually my very first show where I was the main character. And it was the first time that a teenage African-American superhero was the star of his own cartoon. As a comic book person growing up, reading mostly stories that didn't reflect my life, it was so amazing to actually be part of something that did, and Denys Cowan and Alan Burnett and Dwayne McDuffie, all of the creators were so great about making it good stories first.
And also dealing with things that actually mattered. The show won a Humanitas Award for an episode we did about guns in school. They did these great stories that were fun and exciting, but somehow grounded in something that felt real. So it wasn't like, This is a very special episode.
