‘Steven Universe’ Fans Should Check Out Rolling Stone’s Profile on Rebecca Sugar
Unfortunately, this isn’t a news item or announcement of a new season ofSteven Universe, but it is a recommendation for fans of the show and its creator,Rebecca Sugar, to head over toRolling Stoneto read over their excellent profile. Sugar talks about her experience making the show, stepping away from it a little bit, and the incredibly rewarding experience she’s had with the show and its fans. Here’s just a snippet of what she had to say:
“I watched shows as a kid that were supposed to be for little girls or for little boys, and I could not understand where I fit in that,” she says. “It felt like there was nothing that was actually for me, and I didn’t know what that meant. I felt very guilty, because I loved shows for boys, and I wouldn’t tell people."
If that piques your attention or you’re a long-time fan of Sugar, this interview is definitely worth a read!
‘Wallace & Gromit’ Voice Actor Peter Sallis Passes Away
AsEWreports,Wallace & GromitactorPeter Sallishas passed away at the age of 96. In a statement from Sallis' agent:
“It is with sadness that we announce that our client Peter Sallis died peacefully, with his family by his side, at Denville Hall on Friday 2 June."
Here’s how Oscar-winning stop-motion animation writer/directorNick Parkresponded:
I’m so sad, but feel so grateful and privileged to have known and worked with Peter over so many years. He was always my first and only choice for Wallace. I knew him of course from the very popular long running BBC series Last of the Summer Wine. He brought his unique gift and humour to all that he did, and encapsulated the very British art of the droll and understated.
Working with Peter was always a delight and I will miss his wry, unpredictable humour and silliness – that started the moment he greeted you at the door, and didn’t stop when the mic was switched off. He had naturally funny bones and was a great storyteller and raconteur off stage too and would keep us amused for hours. He could make the simplest incident sound hilarious – just by the way he said it.
Sallis also starred in all 295 episodes of the long-running TV comedy seriesLast of the Summer Wine, even getting to speak the final words in the series finale back in 2010.
