Steve Blum on voicing Spike Speigel and Mugen

Ойындар

A fan asked prolific voice actor Steven Blum about the differences between voicing Spike Speigel from "Cowboy Bebop" and Mugen from "Samurai Champloo", which gave us some interesting info behind the shows. Then things got weird with Dante Basco and Steven's girlfriend and fellow voice actor, Mary Elizabeth McGlynn. Real weird.

    @@AdmiralAtago Let's not forget Shishio Kind of funny that he voiced Shishio and Zabuza being that they're both sort of similar in how they picked up a young child with a terrible living situation and groomed them into being killing machines. The parallels for Shishio+Sojiro and Zabuza+Haku are pretty neato (Faye's voice actor even voiced Shishio's GF)
