from the PBS website for “The War”,
“Narrated by KEITH DAVID with TOM HANKS, JOSH LUCAS,
BOBBY CANNAVALE, SAMUEL L. JACKSON, ELI WALLACH, among others;”
I thought I recognized Keith David, he’s got “great pipes” and does
narration for a fair number of documentaries.
Watching Burns shows is sort of a game to see if you can recognize
“celebrity” voice-overs.
Of course Tom Hanks as the voice of the news reporter in Minnesota
was a cinch.
And Eli Wallach as the rich California farmer with relatives caught
in The Phillipines was pretty easy.
But, for some of the “voice-overs”, I’ve not been able to peg them yet.
If Samuel L. Jackson actually lent his voice to “The War”, I’m suprised
he wasn’t cursing a blue-streak during the Pearl Harbor sequences.
(Maybe he did and I missed it)
