Hal Sparks Gets His Juju Working on Nickelodeon

Hal Sparks winningly played a gay comic-book store owner for years on Queer as Folk, and in real life he walks the comics-geek walk in addition to just talking the talk. (Even if he is, alas, heterosexual.)

Building on his cameo in Spider-Man 2, Sparks will further beef up his fanboy credentials by lending his voice to Tak and the Power of Juju, a new Nickelodeon animated series based on a series of Sony Playstation games.

Sparks stars as Tak, a mischievous 14-year-old who has gained access to the magical and mythical jungle realm of the Jujus.

Also featuring the talents of Maurice LaMarche (who voiced Pinky's mentor, "The Brain," among many others) and Seinfeld's Patrick Warburton, Tak is set to premiere later in 2007.
