Yeah, because obviously voice work and acting require the same amount of effort.

Doing voice over work takes far far less effort and commitment than acting. Why would anyone want to put months of effort into doing something they don't want to do?

The paycheck was there. He said in an interview that they would just feed him the lines with no context whatsoever, no script. From his perspective he just said some random lines into a microphone and got a huge paycheck. He got paid for what almost amounts to nothing. So it wasn't that big a deal to do the voice acting.
It's almost like he has some sort of ability to pretend to be someone he isn't or something... he should see if there is a way he can get paid doing that.

An odd response. Weaving is a great actor and highly regarded amongst the Australian community.
Though one could understand why such confusion as to why he would decide to not play the character again.
Maybe it's because of personal reasons though having a different actor play such a perfectly displayed role previously harms the character in the long run.
He could have been genuinely interested in trying the role and then after he movie decided he didn't enjoy it so much. I don't understand what the big deal is.
He loves acting on the stage; maybe he's just pining for that right now, instead of acting for cameras with lots of green screen. Stage actors go through these phases where they feel guilty for making so much money for movies but feel unchallenged as an actor, compared to a blank stage and a live audience. At least Weaving is acting more classy than Shia Lebeouf did recently regarding indie films vs. blockbusters. People thought Liam Neeson was ready to quit acting after Star Wars: Episode I, but his comments at the time were totally blown out of proportion and he's continued on with big & small films.
