My Take
What fascinates me about Stephen Stanton is the quiet artistry of inheritance. Stepping into roles once voiced by departed legends, his Tarkin and Obi-Wan, demands a strange humility: you must vanish into someone else's echo. I admire that he carries entire fictional universes from behind a microphone, from Sasha Nein in Psychonauts to a galaxy far away, yet remains largely invisible to the casual fan. The German birthplace surprised me too, a small reminder that voice work knows no borders. To me, Stanton represents the craftsman's dignity, the people who give beloved characters their souls and ask for no spotlight.
