TEEN TITANS ANIMATED UPDATE
Freddy Rodriguez is playing the voices of Mas Y Menos in the two-part "Titans East" episode of Cartoon Network's Teen Titans.
The characters are twins, and Rodriguez is providing both voices.
"That was really fun," voice director Andrea Romano told The Continuum.
Rodriguez, 29, plays Federico Diaz on HBO's Six Feet Under. His other credits including Chasing Papi and guest-spots on TV shows Scrubs and Party of Five.
"Titans East" will also include T'Keyah Crystal Kemah as Bumblebee and Wil Wheaton as Aqualad.
The episode features the final clash with Brother Blood, who is voiced by John DiMaggio.
"He's a remarkably talented, versatile voice actor," Romano said. "He's Bender on Futurama. He's also a villain (Dr. Drakken) on Kim Possible, but he's doing a completely different voice for us. He's terrific. I'm crazy about him."
DiMaggio is also doing the voice of Juggernaut on the X-Men Legends videogame.
Romano said she "adores" working with the cast of Teen Titans.
"For the most part, they are actors who have voices with character," Romano said, "which means they're not putting on cartoony voices."
