I need a little help. I've seen either a movie or Tv show with all of the main "Nimh" cast exept for Peter Struass. Does anyone know if I can find anything with him in it and if it's worth watching?

IMDB is your friend:

lireadsli Biker Mice from Mars...? Huh. n.n
Anyway, by the looks of things, he's certainly no big-name actor, but he's been in a few things that I've seen at least.

"Spacehunter" was a pretty good film he was in, if you like cult science fiction movies.

Sorry for bringing up an old topic
but here's some clips I've found of Peter on the web.

State Of The Union (He's the narrator)

Masada (Peter's most well known project. He stars in this scene (he's the one in black robe) along with Peter O'Toole)

License To Wed (Peter's most recent work, too bad it had to be a Robin Williams film. Skip to 3:40)

Peter often does lectures but spends most of his time, while not acting or voice over wok, on his farm.
Its good thing Peter wasn't roped into NIMH 2. They managed to get the now late Dom Deluise and Arthur Malet to return but got William H. Macy to do Justin. Either they didn't contact him or he just refused based on the script.
I'm willing to bet it was the second one. =)

Hey-hey-hey-hey-hey, don't be hating on the Robin Williams! He can star in things that are actually good........Right now he just doesn't feel like it. :P

I always thought it was lack of budget in hiring him since everything about NIMH 2 was 'cheap-o' anyway. I mean if one-shot characters in Biker Mice from Mars are good enough for him, I'm sure he wouldn't mind doing a part in a would-be crappy sequal. Then again, I suppose he didn't do it out of lack of interest on his part, but I do not know how he goes about his work. ^^' I'm also glad he ditched going into the sequal, by his own means or not. Served us less of a headache to see a favored voice actor be degrated.

I can name two Robin Williams movies I liked:
Flubber
RV

Say what you will about them, but I thought they were good for what they were.
