Brian Stokes Mitchell recently got candid and opened up about fans’ love for The Prince of Egypt after almost 30 years.
For those who don’t know, the 68-year-old American actor and singer lent his voice to Jethro in the 1998 American musical drama film, an animated retelling of the Biblical Book Exodus. He also sang the film’s soundtrack, Through the eyes of heaven, that touched people’s hearts, and they still mention the song during their meeting with Mitchell.
The A good feeling crooner appeared on the opening night of Broadway’s Joe Turner’s Come and away in April, which he spoke to PEOPLE magazine about the love he ‘always’ receives from people for his work The prince of Egypt.
Expressing his thoughts, he said, “By the way, when they originally tested that movie, they said that song was also the song that everyone responded to.”
“So I was really happy with that, and I’m happy that it’s still going and people are still loving the song,” Mitchell admitted.
Remarkably, The prince of Egypt depicts the journey of Moses in the voice of Val Kilmer, while other prominent celebrities who lent their voices included Martin Short, Steve Martin, Sandra Bullock, Ralph Fiennes, Patrick Stewart, Jeff Goldblum, Michelle Pfeiffer, Helen Mirren and Danny Glover.
It is relevant to mention The prince of Egypt for which he won an Oscar in the Best Original Song category When you believe.
