James Moore

or, Don’t hate Tom Servo’s new voice! Get to know him!

Best Brains has always plucked its performers and writers from Minneapolis’ vibrant comedy community. And when it chose the performer for Tom Servo’s new voice, it did so again.

James Moore, 31, a native of Richfield, Minnesota, has been performing comedy half his life. He’s performed regularly at Minneapolis’ Acme Comedy Co. and is a longtime member of the improv group ComedySportz.

Oh and, based on his myspace page, his girlfriend’s name is Carmen.

Welcome to the show, James.

MSNBC Has the Story

Very nice piece at MSNBC.com about the all the new riffing projects, including some funny and thoughtful quotes from Mike.

My only gripe is that the piece does use the same “they’re in competition” meme that most of the press and blog observers have been trotting out. I guess it makes a more interesting article to create a dramatic element like that, but I really disagree with that analysis. This is not a zero-sum game. There are plenty of bad movies and the market is plenty big enough to accomodate all these projects. “The more…the merrier,” as Mike says in the piece.

UPDATE: The full, unedited version of the article, along with the transcript of the author’s telephone conversation with Mike, are posted in the RiffTrax Roundtable forum.
