O'Hara Finds Her Inner Wild Thing

Gina Wilhelm Actress - O'Hara Finds Her Inner Wild Thing

Catherine O'Hara recorded her voice work for cranky monster Judith in "Where the Wild Things Are" three years ago, but she remembers the experience well.

Director Spike Jonze wanted the cast to get in touch with their wild thing inside, so instead of having his voice actors stand behind microphones, he had them "thrown together in a physical reenactment of the movie."

She explains, "Spike seems to believe, why make an actor fake something, when you can just give them that experience?"

She had to record one scene while having a bun fight with the rest of the cast.
