Akmal Saleh is one of Australia’s finest stand up comedians having spent decades keeping Australians entertained through his observant and enjoyable brand of comedy. When not on the stage, Akmal can be heard on screen in an array of kids animated shows like The Wild Adventures of Blinky Bill, Tracey McBean, and the superb animated series 100% Wolf.
The sequel to the 2020 werewolf hit, 200% Wolf, hits cinemas on 8 August, and as I continue my championing of the film with interviews with director Alexs Stadermann and lead voice actor Ilai Swindells, I was able to have a chat with Akmal about his work on the film, what it means to be able to improvise as a voice actor, and I even managed to slip in a question about reflecting his 2003 comedy, You Can’t Stop the Murders, which Akmal co-wrote and starred in.
200% Wolf is in cinemas on 8 August all around Australia and I urge everyone to head along and check out this absolutely delightful and visually spectacular animated extravaganza.
