it's business-related, granted, and not exactly something I can talk about on here, but maybe I could squeeze a Q&A out of him if there's enough demand.

You know, I really pity the guy. He turns in a good, if imperfect performance and promptly gets labeled as the go-to guy for emo bastards. And he's hated by a lot of the Eva fandom for problems with the dub that aren't even his fault.

Can you/anyone else really think of any original questions that haven't been asked of him/other Eva voice actors a billion times?

I personally can't, which is why I'm only going to do it if anyone actually wants me to.

He's a pretty nice guy overall. I'm almost amazed, I was expecting him to be a bitter old man but he's almost the complete opposite.

Has he really had it that bad?

Ask him if he feels that the new dub will be better. We already know it will be, but I want to know if he is confident.

Well I somehow doubt he's going to be like "no dude it totally sucks lol", even in the unlikely event that he thought so. It wouldn't really work towards his interests, y'know :p

I can't think of anything. It's late and I'm normally not the one to be like "OMIGAWD! IT'S SOMEONE FAMOUS (relatively speaking)!!! HOW DO YOU LIKE TH MOVIE? WHAT'D YOU HAVE FOR BREAKFAST?" ect. ect...

If anything, what's next on the horizon for him. But that's not Eva related. What kind of DVD release will Rebuild 1.0, 1.1 get (box sets or whatever)? (I've been holding off watching them until they actually come out on DVD this November.) But that's the only thing I can think of at the moment, and I don't even think that's in his jurisdiction to answer/know.

You’re talking to Spencer, through business?
...Um, would you mind asking him if he found dubbing Shinji to be any different from his other roles ( Rolo and Akito for instance)?

You could ask him what projects he’s got in the works or something more personal if he doesn’t mind, after all everyone loves to hear the personal side of things.

I heard Robin Williams auditioned as Gendo for rebuild 1. Does he know anything about this?

I think it was denied in another thread.

Well, no questions for the man, but could you give him the thanks of someone he has never met or heard of: me?

With (a little) help from his words at the MCM expo 2007, I now do what I like to do for a living.

I animated a robot punching itself in the face today, and I'm getting paid to do it.

Seriously :]

Oh yeah- and ask him to call it an "Aojo" from now on.

See if you can get any info out of him on the ADV situation.

Well, it's not business anymore. The reason I can't talk about it is because it's not exactly legal, and, well, the person at the head of the overall thing found out, flipped shit and told me to fuck off and die and never come back to their IRC channel again.

That's what you get for consulting the All-Retarded-EvaGeeks.

Granted I can still talk to the guy and do a Q&A, he doesn't seem to dislike me. The business thing went belly-up, is all.

Ask him if the dubbing has been done for the scene when Misato and Shinji are lost going through Nerv, added in 1.11
