Marvel 1872 | Comic Dub
Kaktovik for Ben Urich
Ben is the head writer for the local newspaper. He often writes what he is told, as to prevent he and his wife from being attacked by the Mayor and his men. Ben tends to be quiet, trying to avoid conflict where possible. At the same time, he does report wrongdoings to Rogers, trying to see if anything good can come from a bad situation. In the 1872 series he serves as the overarching narrator. For the narrator voice, he is calm reflecting on the events that have happened in Timely, and that are about to happen. In his speaking lines he is a nervous, and very cautious of his actions.
We are looking for someone who can easily narrate the series as well as have an active character role. An old show called Grizzly Adams, has a narrator for the intro, if you can soften the accent just a tad go for something like that.
