Here's the Johnny part of the interview (which is wonderful! I just loved Huckleberry Hound when I was a little kid!)


AR: I also direct for various other studios, and for Nickelodeon, I worked on a series called Avatar, and I also do Spongebob Squarepants, and because Spongebob is such an enormous hit, many actors actually approach us, wanting to do it because... well, a lot of actors, the work that they do on-camera, in films, their children can't watch. Maybe they're R-rated movies, or just movies that aren't appropriate for small children... But they'll call us up and say, "My kid is a huge fan of Spongebob Squarepants."

David Bowie called and asked if he could be part of Spongebob Squarepants, Gene Simmons from KISS, and his significant other, Shannon Tweed, they came in and did some guest roles. Dennis Quaid has been asking to come in and read, and I'm a huge fan of his... I'm actually scheduled to record Johnny Depp in a couple of weeks. Those are all surprises, and those are all people who came to us.

If this is true. That would be so awesome. I love Spongebob! woohoo

Thanks for sharing Karen.

Why not?

Does this mean my 2 year old niece will become a Depp fan?

I love Spongebob! If true, that would fantastic!
woohoo

Saw the rerun of King of the Hill last night and it was hilarious. :lol: If he does Spongebob, I'm sure it will be just as funny.

I know of 2 small fans who will be pleased.

:lol: My grandkids watch this so much I began to cringe when I heard the opening music. If this is true, then Grandma will have a taped episode for a keepsake... :shistle

What a great interview and the fact that Johnny may do SpongeBob SquarePants is totally awesome!! woohoo

Thanks Karen for sharing.

Wouldn't that be something--my family will really think I've lost it when I start watching SpongeBob :lol:

I would love to see Johnny doing his voice over, especially if he was doing it with Tom Kenny (voice of SpongeBob). I met Tom at the Emmy's Technical Awards show and he is a VERY funny man. (not to mention very kind and sweet to his fans, including the adults) It would be a hoot to see him and Johnny working together....

If this is coming... would love to know when it airs.

Hope this is true!! Spongebob is so fun!

Yes!! this just made my day!

That's just what Bikini Bottom needs! woohoo
Thanks for the good news!

It will be interesting to see Johnny take the form of cartoon Sea Creature. I wonder what he'll be. Or will he just be a totally awesome swashbuckling pirate? :captainjack

I looooooove Spongebob!!! Cant wait for more details to come out about this!!

Oh, I hope this is true! I have no children, but I LOVE to watch SpongeBob any chance I get! :P

OMJ I hope this is true. I love spongebob woohoo
