About this episode
Actor and voice of Phineas Flynn, Vincent Martella, joins Tawny Platis to make friendship bracelets while talking about:
-
Starting Phineas and Ferb at 13 and growing up alongside the show
-
The surreal experience of hearing his voice at Disneyland and connecting with multiple generations of fans
-
Finding and evolving a character voice over time, from early episodes to mastering range, singing, and performance
-
The reality of voice acting, vocal health, and balancing intense sessions with long-term stamina
-
Building an entire room dedicated to Star Wars Legos (and running out of space)
-
Being “hilariously famous” in Brazil and what global fandom really looks like
-
Growing up on iconic shows, voice acting, Lego collections, horror movies, more!
From childhood acting stories to Comic-Con moments, from comfort shows to horror movie deep dives, Vincent brings humor, nostalgia, and a genuine love for the craft.
Plus, the two voice actors get into theme parks, terrible 80s horror movies, comfort TV, and the ongoing debate of how many Dracula movies is too many.
