Quotes and articles
"I grew up watching Jonny Quest. And now I am Jonny Quest. (Pause). It's very weird."

Excerpt from The Kansas City Star: "'Jonny Quest' is back, featuring a fan who turned star" by Ellen Grey, August 26, 1996: "It's that voice - not Roth's boyish looks - that won the Cherry Hill, N.J., native the part of one of his boyhood heroes in The Real Adventures of Jonny Quest, which has premieres today on TNT, TBS and the Cartoon Net- work.

Although the original series - the first animated action-adventure - made its premiere on ABC four years before he was born, Roth remembers it well, particularly the '70s update. 'The real deal is that I grew up watching Jonny Quest and now I am Jonny Quest,' he said.

What attracted him, then and now, he said, was that Jonny's 'a real kid, who has real instincts, who wants to help people. He has star quality.'"
