Do you ever use your D’Argo voice outside work?
The D’Argo voice came about from me and my friends mucking around doing movie trailers. I was just at home going [puts on D’Argo voice] "Can you imagine a time … when Simcoes ruled the earth … Dorky Australian". How the voice came about is, we were rehearsing the show before we started to shoot the first episode and we could not find a voice for D’Argo. Every voice that we came up with, as soon as we put the make-up on, really did not match the look of the make-up. Then the problem was that when I would come up with a voice that I thought would match the make-up I was looking like this (with no make-up on) and people would go "Oh, maybe not". I did suggest the D’Argo voice earlier on and people said "Oh no, I don't know"
We got to shooting and we still really hadn’t a hundred per cent decided on anything. I was just about to do my very first take and I walked to the director, panicking like a madman, and just said [uses D’Argo voice] "Look, I really think that D’Argo should speak like this". He was so under pressure and it was so late, he went "All right, fine". It was literally that quick.
