Jodi Forrest a.k.a. Elisabeth "Sissi" Delmas

[Skorpigeist offline]

The list of animals was intriquing and I love cats as well because I live with 8 of them in the house along with my pet scorpion.

8 cats! Wow! It must be like fur city! We tried to introduce a beautiful stray cat into our house but the resident tyrant, Thisbe "Blades of Death", loathes him. Do all your cats get along?

That is sad about the stray. yeah, all of my cats get along very well. I think it sort of works like a family. Each of the cats is a different age (ranging from 9 to 13 years) and so they have had time to work out thier differences.

As for places I would like to go, most of those places you mentioned sound fine, but I would really love to go back and visit Munich. That was the first city on the continent that I got to see and I fell in love with the atmosphere and look of it. I would also like to travel more in France and see the site of the factory that the show based its factory on.

Never been to Munich but you make is sound so interesting... My favorite city in Europe so far is Amsterdam. I love cycling around and taking in the hippy atmosphere. And eating the raw herring.

Amsterdam does sound like a lot of fun. I really would like to go sometime. Raw herring? is that any good and what could you compare it to?

I do community theater here in my home town, but I was curious to ask what it is you will be doing on stage and why you dread it? I do enjoy being on stage and find it to be a thrilling experince. So I can understand at least one portion of your reply. anyway, hope things are going well for you

The play is an original piece which takes place in a small, very unprofessional circus company. It's funny and very surreal. I actually don't have a problem with stage fright or anything like that. I love being on stage! It's just the stilt-walking and baton-twirling I'm not looking forward to. What plays have you done? Any Shakespeare? Pinter? Panto?

My town's theater tends to do things that are either more locally oriented, or things state and contemporaries have done. I can't think of any examples recently except for a few good men that I was in. I have done shakespeare and performed in Romeo and Juliet. I am sure you have many more credits, and I am not familar with the other playrights.

another question about lyoko though. I have asked several others this, but have you read the literary bible, and how long is if if you have. I know that it contains all kinds of information, but does it pertain to the whole series, or just the current two seasons with the stuff for three and four being added in?

thanks much in advance, and I am enjoying the conversation we are having

It's very a fresh tasting fish that reminds me of butter in a weird sort of way. They serve it with chopped pickles and herring and eat it right out on the street.

Oops, by "panto" I meant pantomime. I've never done any Shakespeare, although I love it. I have a mentor who is teaching me to direct and we're working on (eeks!) "Troilus and Cressida". What role did you play in R and J? BTW Harold Pinter is an English playwright who just won the Nobel prize for literature. He's a master of the unsaid, which gets the audience to participate more actively in constructing the story by filling in the blanks with their imagination. Anyway, that's my interpretation!

I have not read the CL bible, and in fact have never read, or even seen, the bible for any cartoon I've ever worked on.

So am I.

My apologies to Jodi and skorpigeist for interrupting their conversation, but I just wanted to say hi to Jodi again. It's great to see you back at LF.

I would love to go to Hawaii, Thailand, Peru, South Africa, Morocco, and Scandinavia.

I haven't been to Thailand, Morocco and Scandinavia yet... but I have just returned from South Africa. And from what I've seen, I'd really like to go back there in a sober state, but it seems impossible to not ignore Cape Town's nightlife. At this moment, I'm tired from the trip and in a hurry, since I have to visit my family.

And before I leave, nice job with Sissi's voice.

haha hey no worries. Good to see that you have gotten back in, and hope to go back.


Perhaps Jodi you should check it out sometime, if it is in the studio. I played Lord Montague in Romeo and Juliet, and the playwright that you mention sounds very intriguing. I think I will have to do some research now. and maybe try a new food.

you mentioned that you had done other cartoon shows. How many exactly and what parts? and what is your favorite thing about Sissi's character?

agian, hope that you are doing well and having fun on the continent. I really, really want to go back someday.

Pardon me for popping in so abruptly, but....

Oops, by "panto" I meant pantomime.

And by 'pantomime' you mean a theatre production typically put on around Christmas, involving singing, dancing, and humor. Not the kind of pantomime that involves wearing clown-type makeup and never speaking. (Just mentioning that because the odds of a forum reader confusing the two terms increases the further he/she is from the UK or Australia.)

Which about expends my theatre knowledge. When I think of Pinter the first thing that comes to mind is the Pet Shop Boys song "Up Against It".

ah okay, thanks for that clarification.

[MY85 offline]

Pardon me for popping in so abruptly, but....

...it's okay. Be aware that you're the first (and only, at the moment) person who requested to me access to the VAR. Have fun interacting with the VA's. And I'm sure you read the rules already.

LIfe's going just fine, Rodri, just fine. What's up with you? Oh, and by the way, I LOVE "Big Mouth Strikes Again"!

Good to know that. About myself...not much to say, except that I'm on vacations. And cool to know you love Bigmouth Strikes Again...

Okay, I have one question: From all the VA's of Code Lyoko, who's the youngest and who's the oldest? Giving their age is optional... I bet you're no older than 40, Jodi.

[Cassius335 offline]

30, he meant 30...

[FormicaArchonis offline]

The first? Wow. (Edit: Thanks for granting permission, BTW.) And yes, I read the rules. No pets allowed, check heavy weapons at the door, say it don't flame it, and sticking a live ferret down your pants is rarely funny.

Giving their age is optional... I bet you're no older than 40, Jodi.

:toomuch: 30, he meant 30...

Hehe, been burned asking someone about their age before, Cassius335?:)

But no, if Jodi was under 30, she'd be my contemporary. As cool as that would be, I think (could be wrong, feel free to smack me if I am) she's been working in French theatre since I was in elementary school. Jodi has been acting since elementary school, but I severely doubt her first role was a professional gig.

You're welcome. And WTF did you meant with the "sticking a live ferret down your pants is rarely funny" part? The smilie even makes it sound scary.

LOL. Well, it's supposed to say you never ask a woman about her age. Although, the question came out of curiosity and I don't mind at all asking people about their age. Yeah, it'd be cool if Jodi was 30 (it could be logical to believe she could be 30)... and she's not single, btw. Sorry to to 20-40 year old LF members for pointing that out. *shoots himself*

[FormicaArchonis offline]

It was an attempt at humor, which clearly failed miserably. And the concept of a ferret in one's trousers (I meant American pants, not British ones) has actually been done as comedy.

Although, the question came out of curiosity and I don't mind at all asking people about their age.

I'd say I did mind, but my in-depth discussion was no better! But I'm sure Jodi is incredibly kind, forgiving, wonderful, forgiving, sweet, forgiving....

Yo, guys, listen up. Lesson number one from Odd who knows the ways and has all the moves with the ladies. Never ask about, discuss, or even remotely skirt around the subject of age with a woman, OK??? Post it on your bathroom mirror for a full year if necessary.

One thing I can tell you guys though is that she is one of the most beautiful woman I have ever met in my life. And also one the happiest married!

Thanks, Agent Marquez! Feel free to interrupt when you like.

At this moment, I'm tired from the trip and in a hurry, since I have to visit my family.

Don't tell me you went all the way to South Africa for the night life. You are one serious partyer!

And before I leave, nice job with Sissi's voice.

Squanx!

Perhaps Jodi you should check it out sometime, if it is in the studio.

It isn't! I think it's locked away in some vault.

I played Lord Montague in Romeo and Juliet, and the playwright that you mention sounds very intriguing. I think I will have to do some research now.

One of his well known plays is "Betrayal" which is cool because it goes backward in time. He's also done some political pieces which are very subtle but intense, especially "One for the Road".

and maybe try a new food.

Hah! Brave man! However they don't serve raw herring with "pickles and herring" (duh!) as I mentioned above, but with pickles and onion.

you mentioned that you had done other cartoon shows. How many exactly and what parts? and what is your favorite thing about Sissi's character?

I don't remember how many other cartoons I've done! Some of the characters were: an alligator, rodent, queen bee, grasshopper, bear, rabbit, various boys, girls, grown-ups, oh and Gohan (as a little boy) in Dragon Ball Z. My favorite thing about Sissi's character is that she never gives up no matter how much people laugh at her.

agian, hope that you are doing well and having fun on the continent. I really, really want to go back someday.

If you really want to, you really will.

Pardon me for popping in so abruptly, but....

Really?!? You were the voice for young Gohan?!?!? *gasp and state of shock*

Hello Mrs. Forrest! I may not be a big fan of Sissi but I still love your voice for her. Although I think I can change my feelings towards her. She seems likely to have a major attiude change (for a good one) and could become one of the more likeable characters. I would ask you "do you get scared for Sissi when she's in a dangerous situation" but if memory serves...Sissi hasn't been in a dangerous situation....Right...? Forgive me if she has. Well that's all I have to say. I hope to have more pleasent conversations with you.

That depends. How dangerous a situation is it to be gassed, to be trapped in an elevator with a rising water level, to be trapped by an out-of-control movie monster prop, to be trapped in a crumbling lunchroom, to be surrounded by zombies...

And by 'pantomime' you mean a theatre production typically put on around Christmas, involving singing, dancing, and humor. Not the kind of pantomime that involves wearing clown-type makeup and never speaking.

Exactly!

That's what "pantomime" means in Jamaica too. I wonder how it got the dual meaning...

On the other matter, checking IMDb won't help Rodri and other nosy people (like me); your birth date isn't there... <Dick Dastardly imitation> DRAT, DRAT and double DRAT!</Dick Dastardly imitation>

Neato about the Dragon Ball Z, because I have watched every episode of that show.

Maybe we should keep that in mind for the next time someone asks "Can you tell me what's gonna happen in Season #?" Say all the information's locked in a vault. And if you tell them, they'll have to be locked in the vault too.

Pardon me for popping in so abruptly, but....

Thank you for the warm welcome. And as to the name.... As someone once said to me, "I had just figured you were one who led the myrmidons into battle while The Queen Of The Ants was unavailable. " It's a mix of Gnosticism and binomial nomenclature. Picked on a whim, but I've come to find the mix of arrogant god and lowly ant amusing.

And very very beautiful, I'm sure. (Found the butter!:) )

Really?!? You were the voice for young Gohan?!?!? *gasp and state of shock*

*fans dragondasher till he revives* The Dragonball Z series was dubbed many times by tons of different voice artists. Here, have a glass of water.

Hello Mrs. Forrest! I may not be a big fan of Sissi but I still love your voice for her. Although I think I can change my feelings towards her. She seems likely to have a major attiude change (for a good one) and could become one of the more likeable characters. I would ask you "do you get scared for Sissi when she's in a dangerous situation"

Dragondasher (as opposed to dragonprancer or dragonblitzen?), hello! Thank you so much for your wonderful compliment. I think we'd all change our feelings about Sissi if she was kinder. But heros need villains to fight, large and small, and while Sissi is not exactly what you'd call a worthy opponent at least she's a bug up their fill-in-the-blank. No, I don't worry about her when there's danger. She's a survivor!

I hope to have more pleasent conversations with you.

*heavy New York accent* Likewise I'm sure!

How dangerous a situation is it to be gassed, to be trapped in an elevator with a rising water level, to be trapped by an out-of-control movie monster prop, to be trapped in a crumbling lunchroom, to be surrounded by zombies...

Can't say for sure, but I doubt it. I'd presume he was just mixing pre- and post-transformation elements of the Myrmidons. Perhaps the guy was a fan of Grant Morrison's The Invisibles. That would make a bit more sense. Insofar as The Invisibles ever made sense, anyway....

Another question to Jodi: When are you guys going to start recording Season 3 episodes?

[FormicaArchonis offline]

So I was cooking supper and the following comment of Jodi's popped into my mind.

Ah, yes, it's easy to mis-direct Pinter plays.

If you don't mind me asking, how so? What is it about Pinter that makes it easy to err in directing? Perhaps the answer will be a bit too complex for a theatrical ignoramus such as myself, but I've suddenly got a nagging curiosity.

Another question to Jodi: When are you guys going to start recording Season 3 episodes?

March, according to Matthew Géczy.
