spoiler[Actually I'd try to make mine slightly different]

Like I said before I'd better continue to try and get voice/vocal training and try to work for ADV and Funimation, because if I take too long my voice won't be able to handle any lead roles that involve teen/young adult characters (which are very common these days)

Crispin is the man. One of the best in the biz.

I agree with what he said of American animation. Not so much hate for the animated American movies (well, Disney have gotten bad lately), as Pixar makes some good stuff, but for these cartoons with no real point but to be another random cartoon (mostly congregated on Nickelodeon, sadly).

I remember Crispin best as Alan Gabriel from The Big O. Not the best role he's been given, of course, but that voice... I'll never forget that voice.

Anyone in this topic play Tales of Symphonia? Crispin plays Regal the convict, one of several interesting characters, and he's very good in the role, as usual.

On a final note, I'm an aspiring film/series writer and director. I'd love to cast Crispin in my work one day, should I become successful enough as a writer to warrant a film/series.

I need to check the credits on it but it's sounds sooo much like him for the guy with the giant sword....can't think of his name at the moment..I'll get back to you if anyone watns to know if it's him on there...unless of course if someone else can immediately confirm this.

Crispin playing my favorite character Nightmare/Siegfried? That sounds good. It sounds GREAT.

I just looked it up at IMDB, and Ted D'Agostino plays Nightmare in Soul Calibur TWO. The dub acting was pretty bad in SC2, so if they really changed it, then I'll be glad, even if I'm one of those poor bums that only has a GameCube; no PS2.

Nightmare has the biggest sword, so I assume you're talking about him. It's not wise to assume, but...

Yes, Siegfried is the correct name for the character in SC3, though spoiler[Siegfried and Nightmare were once the same individual. Nightmare was Siegfried's evil side, brought out by the Soul Edge's evil power. When he won in SC2, he was able to force his Nightmare side off at last. However, Zasalamel has since revived Nightmare as its own entity. Thus, they are two separate identities now.] I wouldn't guess SC3 Nightmare having a voice, spoiler[ being a corporeal phantom type and all now, ] so if Crispin is voicing one of the two, it would probably just be Siegfried.

SC2 had voice actor credits that could be accessed without beating the game. I'm willing to bet SC3 does as well. Could anyone confirm? If the game even out yet?

I was just about to say the same thing about him. He seem like a real down to earth guy and isnt' full with himself or claim he's some kind of Otaku. A nice guy that know what he's doing, so all the best to him and his future project.

after reading up on "the GrantM saga" on various sites on the internet, including live journal drama... etc etc... banned form nearly every forom and community he joins, i have come to the conclusion that 'GrantM' is a fake online persona deliberately created to annoy people.

no-one can be this stupid, and repeat the same pathetic comments over and over again, in the face of so much opposition, and not realize it.

Other than that, did he say he was good friends with Steven Blum?? That's awesome. They are both favorite VAs of mine, so it's really funny to imagine them being all chummy.
