The REAL ADVENTURES Of JONNY QUEST (1996-1997) ... Free

The first season of Real Adventures featured J. D. Roth as Jonny, George Segal as Dr. Quest, Robert Patrick as Race, Jesse Douglas as Jessie, Michael Benyaer as Hadji, and veteran voice actors Frank Welker and Michael Bell as Dr. Jeremiah Surd and Ezekiel Rage, respectively. A childhood fan of the original series, J.D. Roth was inspired by Turner's vision for the new series and swiftly accepted the role of Jonny.[71] Roth was attracted by Jonny's "star quality", and approved of his characterization as a real kid without superpowers.[76] He enjoyed Jonny's infectious enthusiasm and impulsive alacrity.[71] Roth also admired the show's educational quality, something he had tried to integrate in his personal television pilots.[76] When asked about how he played the relationship with Jonny's father, he commented, "Jonny is crazy about his dad. He looks up to him and thinks he is the smartest man ever to walk to face of the earth. He has the typical teenage relationship with his father, but his father definitely sees something in him. Dr. Quest knows that Jonny is going to be something really special."[71] Michael Benyaer also enjoyed playing Hadji: "[he] is one of the few roles for an ethnic actor that is not a bad guy. I mean, how many East Indian heroes have been on television? Hadji is for the sensitive kids out there. He is the outsider in all of us."[71] A Star Wars fan, Benyaer was happy to work with Mark Hamill for "In the Realm of the Condor".[71] Peter Lawrence's request for an Indian-descended voice actor was seen as an "unusual case of multi-ethnic casting".[16]
