Rick and Morty Star Reveals How Differently They Perform Space Beth (Exclusive)

Sarah Chalke has been palying the role of Beth Smith since the beginning of Adult Swim's popular juggernaut, Rick And Morty. With the voice actor, and former star of Scrubs, being given an additional role when the series introduced us to "Space Beth", who may or may not be the real deal, our own Nick Valdez had the opportunity to talk about Chalke's role and the different approaches that she takes when taking on the roles of both Beths.  

With both Beth and Space Beth cut from the same genetic cloth, Chalke went into detail when it came to portraying the latter while making sure that the two still sound similar enough to convey the idea that they could both still be the "real deal":

"There's just so many fun scenes to really dig your teeth into all smooshed into ["Bethic Twinstinct"], and to get to play both of them in it and try and find a way to have both their voices sound a little bit unique and both their personalities to feel unique, but to also both feel like they're genuinely Beth. Space Beth is just so much cooler and has so much more of an edge."

Expanding on this point, Chalke then detailed how she approaches "Domestic Beth", who doesn't travel across the galaxy nearly as often but still finds herself dragged into terrifying scenarios thanks to the wild adventures of her father and her son: 

"I find I kind of stand differently and you hold yourself differently when you're recording her and have a bit more of a raspy voice. And then Domestic Beth is Domestic Beth. I mean, she is a little more uptight about the whole thing and just kind of second-guessing everything. And so usually in a scene like that you just get to play one side of it. So to get to play both felt like such a gift."
