H. Jon Benjamin As The New Voice Of HAL From 2001

(Video Link)

He’s the voice of many cartoons both crappy and cool, he has a van, and once you’ve heard the name H. Jon Benjamin you never forget it. His voice is so iconic, so sultry, that when he does voiceover for things other than toons he brings a unique je ne sais quoi to the project.

Here’s an example of the kind of vocal magic Mr. Benjamin brings to a project- a clip from 2001 featuring H. Jon as the voice of that psycho computer AI HAL, recorded when Jon paid a visit to Late Night Basement.

2001 disc selling people- give HJB a call when you decide to re-re-re-release 2001: A Space Odyssey and you’re looking for a HAL update, cause he nailed it!
