Who Does Giancarlo Esposito Play?
Widely known for his prominent roles in Breaking Bad and The Mandalorian, Giancarlo Esposito will be set to voice Baxter Stockman, a mad scientist that had the tendency to create mutated monsters at the palm of his hand.
This wouldn’t be a first for the 65-year-old actor in playing antagonistic roles, considering he did play Moff Gideon in The Mandalorian series, the Magic Mirror in Once Upon A Time, and even lent his voice talent as Lex Luthor in HBO’s Harley Quinn animated series.
Baxter Stockham is likely going to be the main villain in TMNT: Mutant Mayhem, considering the plot synopsis revolves around the four Ninja Turtles trying to prove their skills in protecting the city against mutant experiments.
Who Does Seth Rogen Play?
Seth Rogen, who is a writer and voice actor playing in TMNT: Mutant Mayhem, told Empire Magazine, about how much he had been a beloved fan of the franchise to the point he ‘cracked his head open’ just to act out as a member of the Ninja Turtles:
“Part of the reason I did karate was because of the Ninja Turtles. Me and Evan both did karate together. My dad got me nunchucks that I cracked my head open with because I was obsessed with the Ninja Turtles, and Michelangelo, specifically.”
Evan Goldberg added to the little mishap story:
“Seth had just got these nunchucks. He was like, ‘Yo, check this out, I want to show you this awesome move!’ and just immediately shattered a huge chandelier from his parents’ house into a billion pieces. It took us like five hours to clean.”
In the film, Rogen plays Bebop, a recurring villain in the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles franchise who got along with Rocksteady (John Cena’s character). This would be Rogen’s second time voicing a warthog in animation, considering his first was playing Pumba from The Lion King.
Now, as for Rogen’s role, with Esposito’s mad scientist generating mutated experiments, it would seem that he and his partner Rocksteady (who had been mutated into a warthog and a rhino) had come from a transformation thanks to Esposito’s Baxter Stockman.
