[Groop] Movie voices

I'd like to vote for an entire cast of actual voice actors.  I'd much rather 
see what someone like Billy West can do to bring Groo alive than to have Groo 
end up as some Terminator clone for the sake of celebrity casting.

Also, you may notice that when A-list on-camera actors do cartoon voices, the 
characters inevitably end up looking like the actor.  Look at Beauty and the 
Beast, Osmosis Jones, and that new animated movie about the shark.  All the 
cameo voiced characters end up looking like a caricature of the actor voicing 
them (probably because those voices don't look right coming out of entirely 
different mouths).  I'm not ready to see that happen to Groo.

Lastly, given the harsh words that were thrown around ME's Cartoon Voices 
panel about casting celebrities in cartoons, those guys might never let ME host 
that panel again if Groo's voices are done by "regular" actors.
