The votes have been counted, and Yuri Lowenthal and Tara Platt are the fans’ choice for actor and actress with geek appeal!
Nerdage ran a month-long series highlighting which actors and actresses had the most “geek appeal,” based on hits and web searches. Then, fans were given the opportunity to vote for both actor and actress.
The winners were Lowenthal and Pratt, who, in addition to frequently working together, are also married. They co-wrote the book “Voice-Over Voice Actor: What It’s Like Behind the Mic.”
Platt is maybe best known as the voice of Temari on the anime hit “Naruto,” but she has also portrayed superheroes Dream Girl (on “Legion of Superheroes”) and Wonder Woman (on the “DC vs. Mortal Kombat” game). She’s also appeared on “Charmed” and “Gilmore Girls.”
Lowenthal voiced Ben Tennyson aka Ben 10 in “Ben 10: Alien Force” and “Ben 10: Ultimate Alien.” He’s also been the voice of Superman in “Legion of Super-Heroes.” Adding to his superhero resume, he portrays Iceman in the current “Wolverine and the X-Men” animated series and voiced Mister Miracle on “Batman: The Brave and the Bold.”
Congratulations to Lowenthal and Platt, who are very fan-friendly in addition to their many other talents.
