Disney Channel will present a marathon of its newest hit “Special Agent Oso,” an animated series for preschoolers starring Sean Astin, SATURDAY, JUNE 13 (6:00 – 10:00 a.m. ET/PT).
The marathon will feature eight episodes including the premiere of a new episode, “The Living Flashlight / Sand Castle Royale,” at 8:00 a.m. ET/PT. Online at PlayhouseDisney.com, preschoolers can digitally paint their own Digi-Medals featured in the series and then submit their virtual creation for the opportunity to be highlighted on Disney Channel during the marathon.
“Special Agent Oso,” which premiered April 4, 2009, is TV’s #1 program on Saturdays at 8:00 a.m. (4/4/09-5/9/09), defeating Nickelodeon by 112% in Kids 2-5 (696,000 vs. 329,000). In addition, the series delivered Disney Channel’s most-watched weekday telecast ever in the timeslot on May 14.
Here’s the interview with Amber Hood the voice behind Special Agent Dottie, the person who is training Special Agent Oso played by Sean Astin.
Television shows for children aren’t the typical content for this blog but think about this, who does the voices? How do they create the characters? How does one get into the business of doing voiceover acting?
Amber Hood has been doing voice-over work for commercials and tv for 11 years and fell into the work on a fluke. Planning on becoming an attorney, someone she knew suggested she check out the career path and now 11 years later, she’s playing opposite Sean Astin ( Sam in Lord of the Rings; Rudy)
Check out her work as Agent Dottie on Special Agent Oso on the Disney Channel.

A BIG thank you to Amber Hood & the Disney Channel for their assistance in this interview. Amber, you rock!
