Am I the only one who thinks that this guy sounds a bit like Liam O'Brien?

@WWEFAN12ization I think he sounds more like Crispin Freeman than Liam O'Brien.

Honestly, J. Michael Tatum is my favorite voice actor of all time. Too bad I have had the blessing of hearing all of his performances, but I love the moment when I hear a character's voice and instantly recognize him; Sebastian Michaelis, Kyoya Ootori, and Komui Lee. I love his deep and smooth voice; it makes the characters that he portrays incredibly attractive.

Unbelievablely beautiful and distinctive voice. Even when he shifts it slightly to fit a character it can't fool you long. I even watch shows that I don't care for that much just to hear him. He makes any character he plays come alive. Could say more but it would just be rambling over the same ground. Would love to meet him and hear him in person.

The guy is an incredible VA!! He has such a smooth deep voice that it just makes love to the ears of those who hear it. Then I was blown away when I heard Age, wow! even being out of his normal range he was amazing! And I hope he continues to entertain us all with that stunning voice for many more years to come!

@akersaotome If he decides to move to LA where prelay animation work is much more common then yes its a possibility but finding prelay animation work in texas is practically nonexistent at this point.

@IAMTHEVASTUNIVERSE Vancouver's an option too, in case it slipped your mind.

@CatsTuxedo It didn't slip my mind I'm well aware of Vancouver's vast connections to prelay animation. It wasn't mentioned simply because most anime voice actors living in the United States end up moving to LA before Vancouver.

Would be virtually impossible for Tatum to do prelay in Vancouver due to getting a Canadian work visa and union issues. As for prelay states side, its possible in L.A if he wants to try, but realistically its going to be prelay in Texas for video games. The success of Borderlands 2, more domestic made "mainstream" games could be developed and recorded in Texas.

@akersaotome if he ever went or move to LA, I would love him to play characters like daredevil, matt Murdock, moon knight, batman, superman, mister fantastic, bruce banner, vindicator/guardian, sentry, and captain america

I actually thought of Tatum playing the role of Daredevil/Matt Murdock. Perhaps in a Marvel vs Capcom 4 video game if it ever sees the light of day.
