>"For anyone wondering why they never used Hayden, very early in production of TCW during the recording for the pilot, they used a sound alike named Mat Lucas who had previously done the voice in video games and the 2003 CW show. Both Dave Filoni and George Lucas however found it to not fit for Anakin so when they did casting for a replacement, they specifically didn’t search for a sound alike as they wanted to person to give a very different kind of performance. Matt Lanter has no idea he was even auditioning for Anakin until he got the call that he had won the part and even when he began recording, they asked him not to take direct inspiration from the movies for his voice and delivery and just to do his own thing"
