Ever-busy genre actor Lee Perkins (Katiebird: Certifiable Crazy Person, Live Evil) jut dropped us a line with some very cool early info on one of his next projects. Perkins is getting ready to transition from the world of physical acting to voice acting for Justin Paul Ritter’s The Living Corpse!

Ritter is the man behind Katiebird, the film that first brought Perkins to our attention, and now he’s branching out by doing The Living Corpse, his first animated feature. The film is based on the comic of the same name, the creation of Ken Haeser and Buz Hasson, and is the story of a somewhat self-aware zombie who takes it up on himself to keep the rest of his undead brethren at bay.

Perkins is doing the voice of Timmons, the Administrator of the East Bend Boarding School, where displaced children find themselves. We’re not sure how that ties into the story of self-aware zombie, but I’m sure it will all be clear in time. Check out the official site for the Living Corpse comic to learn more and keep it here for updates on the film!
