In a 2021 interview with Comics Beat, legendary voice director Andrea Romano recounted her time on the animated Superman sequence for its twenty fifth anniversary. In the course of the dialog, she recalled how Farrell and Fabares auditioned individually, then individually landed the gigs. However when it turned out that that they had a real-life relationship, she was excited concerning the genuine chemistry that they’d deliver to Ma and Pa Kent on their present. This is what she stated:

“I do not assume anyone ever instructed us they had been married. I do not assume they had been represented by the identical agent. I believe we simply auditioned each these gifted actors to play these roles. I could possibly be remembering this inaccurately however when the choice got here right down to who we had been going to solid for these roles, they had been the 2 high folks. Then I keep in mind going, ‘They seem to be a married couple!’ After which considering, ‘How excellent is that?! We’re casting a married couple to play a married couple!’ As a result of there is a consolation that two actors who know one another so effectively have taking part in type of themselves. They had been simply so naturally good and I’ve to attribute a few of that to the truth that they’re really married and comfy with one another.”

Following the three-season run of the fan-favorite DC Animated Universe present, the couple would reprise their roles because the Kents in two extra tasks: “Justice League” and “Superman: Brainiac Assaults.” With their tenures being part of Bruce Timm’s mythology that spanned “Batman: The Animated Sequence” from 1992 to 2006’s “Justice League Limitless,” a complete technology grew up with these actors because the definitive variations of those characters. Name me a sap, however it’s good that these two characters stay a monument to the love shared by their voice actors.
