I auditioned to be Prince Namor

Sort of.

I'm a comic book and video fan boy, so when Activision ran a voice contest for this fall's Marvel Ultimate Alliance, a comic book Role-Playing Game (RPG), I thought, "Why not?"

Originally, auditions were for Incredible Hulk alter-ego Bruce Banner, but they closed those auditions early due to too many entries.

Then they opened up a new character -- Prince Namor the Atlantean -- who has a beef with all surface dwellers.

This is kind of like my Marvel Ultimates Captain America audition for the direct-to-DVD animated film -- which means I almost chose not to do it. That last experience kind of ticked me off, because it looks like Marvel Comics had no intention of casting voice talent from the competition, and were just trying to get ridicule fodder for the DVD extra features.

But, like I said, "Why not?" -- I'd love to be a part of this game.

I am going to be playing it this fall, after all ...
