There's nothing with less personality (or soul) than a Hollywood actor. All they do is play themselves endlessly in everything they star in, and that's when they're simply not phoning it in. Even when they just do voice acting, they still only play themselves. Aladdin and Shrek have proven to be fatal mistakes for animation as a whole for popularizing the concept of celebrity voice actors.
Also, this is how you can tell this guy has never played a video game, let alone a Mario game, in his life. Not to mention his defense doesn't invalidate the criticism of celebrity voice actors because any competent voice actor can inject personality into a character that doesn't have one. But said character also needs a good writer to bring them to life. Celebrities don't automatically do that.

You think every actor is Chris Rock?
Are you the guy who posted about confusing Chris Rock and Christ Tucker today?
No, that was someone else.
I was talking about when Chris Rock threw the entire art of voiceover under the bus at the 2012 Oscars, drawing the ire of Tara Strong (yes, I know) and Maurice LaMarche.
And then he did it again on the Graham Norton Show.
I've hated him ever since.
