## Transcript

>> Stark voice log, record. I went from being a man trapped in an iron suit to being a man freed by it.

>> Working in this project is almost completely different from working on any other project that I've worked on simply because we explore so much of the character and we spend so much time on each individual line and the each moment in each beat. When I was preparing to record Tony Stark, I read Extremis many times to really get a good sense of what was being conveyed and how it was being conveyed before even coming into the booth. I was blown away when I first read it as I was instantly a fan and I thought this is gonna-- this is gonna translate great. I think that this comic book translates so well to emotion comic because of the fact that it's so well- written and at the same time, so well- illustrated.

By itself, it's something incredible. Adding voice acting, great direction and motion to it at the same time could only enhance it. Lay down on your face with your hands behind your back. My favorite aspect of Tony Stark is his humanity, you know, that he's trying to get past something from his own personal history. Tony has blood on his hands but at the same time he's aspiring to a higher goal and become something better than himself. I think that relates really well to audiences because there's a lotta people out there like that. There's a lotta people trying to get past something from their own history and become something greater than what they were.

I think Tony does a good job at that. His saving grace, his redemption point is Iron Man. I definitely looked at the Iron Man film for inspiration. There's a really unique way that Robert Downey, Jr. portrays Iron Man that I think just nailed it right on the head. The Iron Man Extremis has its own story and its own-- its own issues to address that we, as performers and artists, had to make clear that are separate from the movie. The coolest thing I got to do as part of this project was scream my guts out. I swear I've never been in so much pain after leaving a recording booth as I was recording Iron Man.

We were Method actors here. We really-- we really feel the pain and James really, he encourages that. He says, " Feel the pain. You know, if you rupture a spleen, it makes for a really good recording ."
