Well, you know what, it's the Slime--I played Slimer in the show and they were like 'what do you think, you want to do Slimer?' and I was like 'Yeah, I guess but that's Frank Welker...' 'Well, he doesn't want to do it, he won't do it' and I was lied to and so that's how I wound up doing it. Yeah, somebody lied -- they either turned Frank's request down for more money and I -- and it was suddenly I felt like I became my own enemy. I became what I hated the most is some grave robber."
