Summary
Ferb, I know what we’re gonna do today!
We’re going to have a lengthy conversation with the star ofPhineas & Ferbahead of the brand new revival.
ButPhineas & Ferbhas by far meant the most to me in my entire career.

It has been a massive part of my life.
As you said, I started working on the show when I was 13.
So this means the world to me.

It really does, being able to keep playing Phineas.
What has the process been like?
So we would storyboard the entire episode, and then we moved to script afterward.

And a lot of times there wouldn’t be action and I wouldn’t know where I was.
It had multiple panels on it that were all the storyboards and had the full script.
I much prefer recording in person.
What was it like to return to that musical flavor of the series?
Well, that’s a credit to our writers and that’s a credit to how good they are.
And our music department, that’s been such a big part of the show since the beginning.
Things like, ‘Oh my gosh, that’s like a song that I sang.’
Getting to record the music is amazing.
Like, that was so catchy.
Feb must be a very interesting scene partner because he only has about one line per episode.
MARTELLA: Yeah, I’m incredibly used to it at this point.
What’s great about Ferb is that they do so much action with his reactions.
Like he is such a perfect Smeagol or Gollum, and I would love for us to do that.
And we have the characters.
We have enough pieces.
Buford and Baljeet as Legolas and Gimli would be kind of a no brainer.
MARTELLA: That would be perfect!
Like, their dynamic is already so similar.
I dont know who would be who in that.
I think Buford would probably be Gimli.
Like, it would have to be tied in that way.
But I do love that episode ofFamily Guy.
You’ve voiced Jason Todd in a couple Batman projects at this point.
I would love to be able to play Spider-Man.
That would be so cool.
Playing comic book characters is such a different experience with that jot down of fandom too.
That was such a really cool experience of how much these characters meant to them.
Theyve lived their whole lives with them.
So I would like to play some more comic book characters for sure.
Some of these episodes are really some of the best stuff that we’ve done.
We all love this job.
So, I would love to do more seasons after this.
Phineas and FerbSeason 5 premiers on June 6th, on Disney Channel.
New episodes will then be available to stream next day onDisney+.
