Phil LaMarr Is Exquisite In New “Samurai Jack” Trailer
LaMarr is so damn good.
Your very busy voice actors are really only going to have a maybe a handful of roles inscribed on their tombstones when they die. Billy West is going to have Futurama and Ren & Stimpy, for Justin Roiland it will certainly be Rick and Stan Smith, and for Phil LaMarr it’s going to be “Hermes” from Futurama and the titular role of Samurai Jack.
That’s right, despite the former MadTV castmate’s stellar voice career, I’ll be good God-damned if I’m not at his funeral putting a samurai sword in his coffin before they lay him down. If you want further proof, check out this new trailer for the long-awaited fifth season of Samurai Jack which will premiere on March 11th @ 11 pm ET/PT. Tell me when listening to Phil’s voice as “Jack” you’re not ready to go to war, and I’ll call ya a liar.






There's got to be some kind of twist that's going to happen with this. I don't know if they're setting up an April Fool's joke now or what's going on, but it seems too strange that they'd suddenly reverse on doing a fourth and fifth season after the show was already renewed and they were even just talking about working on those seasons like a couple months ago or something. Or maybe the two episodes yet to release will secretly somehow each be like a "season" in themselves?
