STN 325: Jim Henshaw – the Voice of Wicket the Ewok
Jim Henshaw, voice of Wicket the Ewok (Ewoks TV Series) and Tenderheart Bear (The Care Bears), joins Richard and Sarah to discuss his career not only as a voice actor, but a writer for series like Top Cops, Friday the 13th and BeastMaster. The discussion even ventures into this cancel culture we’ve been experiencing due to social media. As someone who works in the entertainment industry, and experienced over 400 ride-alongs with police due to the show , Jim has a unique perspective. Who knew this discussion would get so serious??
Disney+ released both seasons of Ewoks on April 2, so we’ve been binging to our heart’s content. But do you know the history behind this series? We prepare you with a little deep dive into the making of the show.
