ME: I worked with Christine briefly.  I wrote and produced a special
for CBS which they opted never to air.  It was celebrating the 100th
anniversary of the newspaper comic strip and it contained animated
segments based on dozens of strips.  Christine was the voice of Cathy
(from the comic strip of the same name) and I directed her in a short
piece we did for the show.  

I really don't know her well enough to call her up and ask her to be
on the panel but if I run into her, I will.  By the way, her most
notable credit is probably the title role in the non-cartoon, BABE.

ME: He's an awful lot of them.  As a matter of fact, he even does the
barking for live-action dogs.  A few years ago, there was a movie
called BINGO about a dog, and Frank dubbed in all the barking and
whimpering done by the dog.
