Brady Noon On Finding The Voice Of Greg In Diary Of A Wimpy Kid

I think this is one of your first real voiceover gigs. How does voiceover compare to acting for you, or live action acting, I should say?

Personally, I enjoy doing voice acting and I also enjoy doing live action, but just the fact that I get to wear my sweatpants and sweatshirt to work and do the voice is awesome. But at the same time, I kind of try and take the same approach as live action as I do with the voice. So if I'm running or jumping, I'll do it in place and I'll act it out. I kind of imagine that there's a camera in the booth right in front of me and I still make up the same facial expressions and the same actions like I would in live action, just not in front of a camera, just in front of a mic.

Did you watch any of the previous movies while preparing for this or did you try to keep them out of your mind?

I watched some of the live actions just so I can get the voice in my head and the delivery of the live action, but my main inspiration were the books for this role. I read the first book over and over again and just tried to really put myself in Greg's shoes again and try and put my own spin on the new Greg.

I think I've got time for one more question, which is: Are there any actors or directors you haven't worked with yet that you really want to work with?

Yes. Wow. I'd definitely like to work with Tom Holland one day. I think as an actor, he's incredible. And really anyone from "Avengers" and Marvel. I'm a big Marvel guy. Directors, George Lucas, and people like that are incredible. And Steven Spielberg, just guys like that, just legends, complete legends.

"Diary of a Wimpy Kid" is now streaming on Disney+.
