EARTH, FIRE, WIND, WATER.... oh and heart too...

CaptainPlanet

Ok, so most of you might not know but Linus and I are big Captain Planet fans. Well as much as one can be in this day and age. You know what I'm talking about right? Captain Planet, big blue guy with a green mullet, 'Our powers combine', etc etc...

Anyway I somehow followed the links to the CP site on IMDB and guess what? There were some pretty big (relatively) actors of the time doing voices for the show. And here I am thinking it was some B-Grade obscure TV show. NOPE! Check out these names:

LeVar Burton (of Star Trek fame [the guy with the glasses!])
Whoopi Goldberg
Ed Asner
Ed Begley Jr
James Coburn
Tim Curry
Phyllis Diller
Danny Glover
Jeff Goldblum
Helen Hunt
Meg Ryan
Martin Sheen
Jessica Simpson
and MORE!

Ok, so some of those names are not entirely huge, but they were! I think the phrase 'icon fused' applies now more than any other time in human history. Yep. That's right. Follow the links to the IMDB page, maybe the images will refresh your memories of who these crazy cats are.
