This 'Madagascar 2' actor is never seen and seldom heard

Stephen Kearin grew up wanting to be a vet, but he now works with animals in an entirely different capacity. For " Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa," Kearin read lines opposite members of the all-star cast, which includes Ben Stiller, Chris Rock and David Schwimmer, most of whom would record their dialogue alone in a sound booth. During those sessions, Kearin was there, working off-microphone, to give the performers a real-world counterpart with whom to engage.
