Celebrity Crush Of The Week #3

This week's surprise celebrity crush is:

Vital Stats:
Name: Matt Chapman
Best Known For: Providing all the voices (with the exception of Marzipan and a few random voices that Matt does) for the hilarious cartoons found on homestarrunner.com!
Currently: Providing all the voices (with the exception of Marzipan and a few random voices that Matt does) for the hilarious cartoons found on homestarrunner.com!
Why Chosen: My friend Kayla sent me a link to an interview with the creators of homestarrunner.com because I really enjoy watching people do voices. The second I saw him I knew he would be an upcoming celebrity crush. Not only is he incredibly good-looking, he is insanely talented (all the voices and Flash stuff), and he is insanely funny as well!

BONUS FEATURE

I knew that at one point or another I would have to talk about my insane obession with homestarrunner.com. The funny thing is that this is one of the few obessions I have where I can actually remember how it all started.

Last year, in October, I was part of a production called Much Ado About Nothing. During the breaks and quiet times, more often than not, someone would launch into song, always starting with the same curious word: Trogdor. I was royally confused, until I asked Kyle, who introduced me to the site. The Trogdor e-mail was the first one I watched, and I was hooked (but I didn't tell Kyle!) Actually, to be honest, I thought it was a little silly and irreverent at first, and I really had no clue what was going on. Curiousity got the best of me however; I watched the characters page and then one Saturday I sat down and watched every single Strong Bad e-mail from the beginning to the most recent at that point in time (Local News.) I was hooked, and over the past year have searched out and watched every single thing I can get my hands on related to homestarrunner.com!

If you haven't checked out the site, click on one of the 5 times I mentioned it to go to the main page. Go to the characters section to get to know the characters a bit before you dive right in to watching all the cartoons.

For all you insane fans like myself, check out the Homestar Runner Wiki. This site has every single detail related to homestarrunner.com (6 times now) down to analyzing what the toons might mean, various allusions the characters made reference to, and tons and tons of easter eggs!

If you would like to know more about the history of the site, and have about 20 spare minutes, check out this awesome radio interview with the Brothers Chaps and Missy, the girl who does the voice of Marzipan (scroll to the bottom and click the link on the right hand side of the page to listen to the interview...there is an awesome section near the end of the interview where they all do their voices, talking about what they like most about working for homestarrunner.com (7!)

For those who are like me and enjoy to watch people do voices, check out these interview clips that I have grown to love so dearly. Matt does an awesome Strong Bad voice at about 12 seconds in, 2 minutes in (the best one!), and later near the end at about 4 minutes. He also does this insanely cute Bubs voice at 3 minutes in. For all of you who love video games, this interview is awesome. I definitely recommend you watch the whole thing though. It's only about 5 minutes, and it is so cool!

If you have any other awesome links, let me know about them because as I said I am obesessed! I will leave you now, with pictures of the brothers...enjoy!
