Is it my imagination or are there a lot of "returns from the grave" in a 
figurative sense with famous people doing voice work you wouldn't 
ordinarily hear?  I'm pretty sure I heard Jeff Goldblum doing a car 
commercial yesterday, and the concensus amongst my roommates is that it's 
James Woods doing the voice of the CGI rabbit in the latest run of 
BlockBluster Video ads.

Is the recession catching up with Hollywood?  ;-)
