Comic Crusaers Podcast #663 – Brian Stivale Interview | Voice of Prophet Samuel in Angel Studios’ DAVID
Angel Studios continues its streak of audience-powered success with DAVID, the animated epic that has already surpassed $70 million at the box office. At the heart of the film’s emotional and spiritual weight is veteran actor Brian Stivale, who lends his commanding voice to the Prophet Samuel.
In an exclusive Comic Crusaders interview, Stivale opens up about the discipline required to voice such an iconic figure, how his theater background strengthened his vocal performance, and why DAVID represents a turning point in animated storytelling rooted in timeless themes.
Stivale shares insight into the technical demands of voice acting, the emotional preparation necessary to portray spiritual authority with humanity, and the surprising intensity of recording sessions. As DAVID continues its successful run, Stivale’s portrayal of Samuel stands as a powerful reminder that voice alone can move millions.
