Earlier today, I wrote here about how cartoon voice actors are too often not treated with the same respect as on-camera actors. As it turns out, my friend Paul Harris was discussing the same topic today on his popular radio show in St. Louis on station KMOX. His guest was vocal thespian Billy West, who's best known as about a third of the cast of Futurama. When it comes to not being treated right, Billy has some examples from his own career that would be funny if they weren't so maddening.

Aw, heck. They're funny anyway. You can hear Paul's interview with the brilliant Mr. West on this page. It runs about 16 minutes and if you enjoy it, browse Paul's site and you'll find plenty of other interviews you'll enjoy.
