Thom Cat Record!
Thom Cat finally has a voice provided by the fantastically talented Jim Meskimen ! Jim’s performance as Thom is both hilarious and charismatic! I was lucky to also have the incredible Annie Mumolo, who provided the voices of both Rusty and Melissa, bringing to them the quality of real kid voices I wanted, but with hilarious timing and delivery! I am so fortunate to have found them both (thank you Meredith Layne, our Casting Supervisor at Nickelodeon!) It is such an amazing experience hearing characters you love come to life! Ginny McSwain was again my voice director, and she was fantastic as usual, there is so much to learn from watching her work!

The master in his lair, Jeff DeGrandis! Without Jeff’s help directing this short, Thom Cat would have suffered…with his help, it is coming out amazing! Thanks Jeff!
