Academy Award winning actor Louis Gossett, Jr. joins Val Kilmer, Michael Clarke
Duncan and Eric Idle in the voice cast for the animated adventure “Delgo,”
the first independently produced computer-animated feature in the U.S.
Louis Gossett, Jr. (An Officer and a Gentleman) is voicing King Zahn, a benevolent
but cautious leader whose plans for his people’s future are hindered only
by his attachment to the past.
“Delgo,” a fantasy adventure film, is the first theatrical production
from Atlanta-based Fathom Studios. The film is set in a divided land where a
troubled youth and some unlikely friends must save the world from itself.
“Louis Gossett, Jr. is a legendary talent and a wonderful man,”
said Marc F. Adler, producer and co-director. “His voice is very unique
and the creativity he lends to his performance is inspiring. Lou has been an
absolute joy to work with and we are thrilled to have him involved with the
film.”
Gossett joins an all-star cast, including critically acclaimed actor Val Kilmer
(The Doors, Tombstone) voicing Bogardus, a fearless and cocky street-smart soldier;
comedian and cult icon, Eric Idle (Monty Python) voicing Spig, a bumbling, pompous—yet
dimwitted—imp; and Oscar© nominee Michael
Clarke Duncan (Daredevil, The Green Mile) voicing Elder Marley, a mystical Stonesage
master and the mentor to Delgo, a brash teenager who is haunted by his past.
“Delgo” has created a strong following largely due to the Digital
Dailies, a message board on the movie’s Web site (www.delgo.com)
where the studios’ production teams post selected works-in-progress, allowing
fans to follow artist collaboration and watch the creation of the film as it
happens.
