As mentioned earlier, James Brolin’s voice greets audiences in each episode of “Sweet Tooth,” and it seems as if Robert Downey Jr., one of the producers of “Sweet Tooth,” is responsible for the veteran actor’s narrator role. Speaking with Screen Rant, Brolin was asked what it has been like getting into voice-work.
“Matter of fact, I had a voice agent, who I did what I thought were some good samples, and nothing ever happened for a couple of years,” Brolin said. “Of course, I was busy with ‘Life in Pieces’ during that time, but this was in the last seven, eight years. ‘Sweet Tooth’ was a thing where Downey said, ‘I want you. You’re the guy we hear in our ear, and I have no other choice.'”
In a Looper exclusive interview, Brolin elaborated that he and Downey are neighbors, and that Brolin is familiar with both Downey and his “Sweet Tooth” co-producer and wife, Susan Downey, which illuminates why Downey told Brolin he would be narrating the series. Brolin also explained he is never allowed to read the full script and only sees brief clips of what he is narrating. Ultimately, Brolin is now intrinsically connected to “Sweet Tooth” since he is credited for every episode.
