Wizard World Comic Con with Loren Lester
The world phenomenon Batman and his sidekick Robin have been entertaining generations for decades. While attending the Wizard World Comic Con in Nashville, Tennessee, we came across many versions of Batman along with the voice actors for the animated series. Though the characters have been around since the 1940's, Loren Lester admits that it was the late Adam West that made the "dynamic duo" Batman and Robin so popular. "He was THE Batman" explained, Lester.
Portraying Robin in the animated series, Lester has continued the worldwide phenomenon of Batman and Robin. As you can imagine, Lester meets a lot of children who are fans. Although he doesn't wear a costume, Lester explains that when meeting kids who watch the series, he uses the voice they all know as "Robin" and everything makes sense for them.
What many of you may not know is that Lester has an extensive resume and the chances are you have seen him on an episode of one of your favorite television comedies, children's shows, or dramas. From Disney Channel's Suite Life of Zack and Cody and Good Luck Charlie to the Closer, General Hospital and everything in between, Lester has impressed audiences around the globe with his impressive ability to become a specific character. From detective to Doctor, annoying neighbor, psychologist, weird parent, and more, Lester knows how to bring each of these characters to life.
During our brief interview at the Wizard World Comic Con, I spoke to Lester about his role as Robin in the animated series. We spoke about his kids and what it was like for his daughters to have "Robin" as a father. Watch our full conversation now to learn more about Lester and his long time role.
