Vin Diesel starred in James Gunn's 2014 film, "Guardians of the Galaxy," as the voice of Groot, a humanoid tree made of moss and bark. Groot is only capable of saying one phrase, "I am Groot," which his closest friends seem to understand — Rocket Racoon (Bradley Cooper) seems to interpret this phrase liberally. Diesel managed to do a lot with only three words of dialogue, adding sentimentality to the character that, in conjunction with the motion capture performance provided by Krystian Godlewski, won the hearts of many fans. As of 2023, Diesel has played Groot or Groot's offspring, Baby Groot, in four different "Guardians" projects, in two "Avengers" films, in "Thor: Love and Thunder," and in the animated series "I Am Groot."
Famously, Diesel played Groot in every non-English language dub of the above projects as well. He was deeply committed to the role.
In a 2014 interview with the Independent, Diesel revealed why.

Now that he’s officially become the very best, like no one ever was, Ash Ketchum is heading into retirement. The long-running and perpetually 10 year-old star of the beloved “Pokémon” anime will exit the series with an upcoming 11-episode run airing in Japan this January, the Pokémon Company announced Friday.
In his place, two new protagonists, Liko and Roy, will be introduced in a new series set in the Paldea region, first seen in this year’s Generation IX “Pokémon” games “Scarlet and Violet.” The series will premiere sometime later in 2023, and feature the starters from the game: Sprigatito (a grass cat), Fuecoco (a fire-breathing crocodile baby), and Quaxly (a water duck).
The news of Ash’s retirement from the anime comes a month after the Japanese airing of the 132nd episode of the “Pokémon Journeys” series, and the 1,217th episode of the anime overall, which saw Ash (voiced in...

In an early issue of Hidenori Kusaka's 1997 manga "Pokémon Adventures," based on the game by Satoshi Tajiri, the definition of a Pokémon was laid down as merely "a mysterious species not recorded in traditional biological taxonomies." A look around the Pokémon universe, however, finds no animals that have been recorded in traditional biological taxonomies, either. There are no cats and dogs in this world, only Pokémon. Some have theorized that Pokémon takes place in a distant future, a post-post-apocalyptic world where animals evolved into superpowered creatures. Others simply repeat to themselves it's just a show and fans should really just relax, understanding that Pokémon exists in a fantasy world.
In this world, 10-year-olds are offered the opportunity to leave home with a bindle with a superpowered animal in their charge, all in the hopes of garnering the honor (there is no cash prize) of becoming a Pokémon Master.
