Nickelodeon’s Legends Of The Hidden Temple was basically American Gladiators with children and an archaeologic twist, with kids completing obstacle courses and answering trivia questions to uncover the secrets behind the temples. Serving as the announcer and the guardian of the temples was voice actor Dee Bradley Baker, who has lent his voice to everyone from Spider-Man villains to flying bisons and winged lemurs to the Tazmanian Devil in Space Jam.

Earlier this year, Baker was part of a panel of voice stars who talked about the recently announced documentary series I Know That Voice. The 2013 documentary is being developed into an episodic series with each installment focusing on a particular voice actor and exploring their creative process and career trajectory. Before the panel, Baker told us the tricks he and the producers would use to get the contestants to finish the obstacle courses on Legends Of The Hidden Temple.
