Was recently subjected to a few rumors that were sadly proven to be false namely he does not voice Grimmjow in Bleach, Tobi in Naruto or is not even in Resident Evil 5 at all.
Strongly aided a young female anime fan when she collapsed during an Anime convention.
Owns his own Harley Davidson Motorcycle.
Use to be a cigarette smoker
All the DBZ characters voiced by him in the "Cell" & "Buu" saga's were voiced by him in the Canadian/European Dub of DBZ.
(Quotes from him on CN 2001)
"We shall all bow our head for the good parts of Escaflowne that ended up on the censor's floors.."
"I like kayaking...and chickens."
"We all live in a really big house with lots of rooms, we just play all day and everything's wonderful and there's little pixies...look, there's one now." (Re: getting along with other voice actors)
"Alright citizens, alright, stand back, I, Silverbolt, will handle this for I am, strong, proud, brave, and smart as a sack of hammers."
"Bucky-o-Bucky-o-thank you!" (Forgetting the full name of Bucky O'Hare and being reminded by an audience member.)
"I have to go now...the mother ship is calling me!"
Audience Member: "Have you ever been glomped?"
Scott: "Well there was that one time in prison, but I don't want to talk about it... Have I ever been WHAT?"
(Quotes from him on Montreal Anime Expo 2003)
"I'd be a superhero in loose-fitting, comfortable clothes."
"'d live off a nice lean diet of Santa's elves." (When asked why he'd prefer to live at the North Pole)
"42." (When asked the meaning of Life, the Universe, and Everything)
"Arrete manger moi... or don't." (Line request)
"No more Dinobot...no more paycheck?"
The only other VA thats ever been in anything Transformers related (Aside from Peter Cullen of course) to regularly been seen in Cowboy Attire.
Is also a capable improv. actor
Once stated in a interview that he & his fellow VA's didn't like "Beast Machines" all that much.
He and Steve Kramer believe that vocing mouth-less characters are the easiest in anime dubs.
(On Garry Chalk on whether he & GC are like Rattrap and Primal.)
"Actually our relationship in real life is not unlike that. Gary's my hero. *Big smile*"
*Spoilers*
Was absolutely shocked when Dinobot died in Beast Wars
*Spoilers End*
Considers Richard Cox and Terry Klassen to be absolutely hilarious...
Said he was actually glad that he wasn't in the Cardcaptors dub.
Jokingly stated that the only other Ocean VA that would be able to beat in a fight would be Chantal Strand. (However he also stated that she considers her to be a very talented actress.)
(On the recent EA game "Def Jam II: Fight for New York".)
"The Cocky Voice was basically EA's nice way of saying 'Scrawny-Ass White Guy' "
"MAN you do an awful lot of shopping in that game..."
Was surprised that there were Darkstalkers Video Games for the PS1 and that there was an Inu-Yasha game for the PS1 as well.
Does hope that more anime companies will use Ocean Studios more often... (And he even stated that the reason why is that most companies nowadays are oddly enough finding them to be too expensive.)
Even though he has never heard of the show "Codename Kids Next Door" he agreed to read a KND fanfic that had him supposedly being the VA for a fan-made character in it...
Generally considers the live action movies he was in to be rather... well to be blunt... bad (Though he was pretty cool with the live-action shows he was in.)
He has absolutely nothing against Hugh Jackman but he always wondered what it would be like if he got to be Wolverine. He was also a bit sore that David Kaye was pretty much one of the very few VA's that got a chance to have a walk-on role in the 2nd X-Men movie.
As much as he loves doing voicework he always had wanted to do some voice directing, but he doesn't want to upstage his friends...
Not only is he one of the many VA's that encourages reading out loud but he also encourages people to get more involved with fan-dubs as well...
Remember when it has been stated that Beast Man's name was changed to Savage Man in Mega Man NT Warrior Axess due to copyright reasons? Well it was also due to the fact that he voiced Beast Man in the He-Man series as well. (And he was well aware of the fact of the name change as well.)
Admits that he hasn't seen much of G1 but absolutely loves Beast Wars
Trish Ledeoux actually wanted him to use the voice he had for Koga of Inu-Yasha...
As much as he loves anime dubs, he fully respects anime subs as wel
Even though he has occasionally done some part-time non-acting work he is glad that there he will most likely not need to quit doing voicework and have to get a regular job.
He wouldn't mind be a VA for Naruto if it ever gets an english dub. However he even said so himself that he wouldn't be a suitable choice for Gaara of the Dessert. Though he did try to come up with something at the OtakuCon in Miami of 2004.
(On David Kaye regarding on how one way he does his voices)
"I think he grabs his nuts while doing it"
Was absolutely surprised that David Kaye voiced General Hawk in the 3rd season of G.I Joe especially since he was a lot thinner in structure back then.
Was kinda offended that Warner Bros made him re-audtion for his role in the 2nd SD movie.
Got to be on Beast Wars since the Hasbro Executives loved his performance as Fax Modem in Reboot.
He admiited that he never watched "The X Files" before he voiced Fax Modem in Reboot.

buko said at 11:14 AM on Thu Jul 30 2009i know this sounds fussy but they left out that he also does jefire in transformers cybertron with a stupid accent that they were forced do
pokejedservo said at 12:10 AM on Fri Jul 31 2009Actually Brian Drummond took over the role in Cybertron oddly enough. (Despite the fact that Scott is actually Australian.) Though yes Scott McNeil is one of my fave VA's as well.
tomi said at 9:03 AM on Sun Oct 4 2009Scott Mcneil is truly talented VO: it is amazing to hear how many characters he can play, sometimes in the smae show, and still to make them reginazisable and unique from one another.
It is also nice to see how friendly and fan-caring guy he really is, always ready to welcome those whom appreciate his work. I wish to meet him one day!

meaghan said at 7:08 PM on Sat Aug 21 2010One of the best. I'll even watch crap cartoons that he is in just for the fact McNeil is in em. At least I can get a laugh and make a bad day good.
cammiestrone said at 1:46 PM on Thu Aug 26 2010Dude... If you look at certain photos of Scott... He looks a LOT like Billy the Exterminator xD And I never knew when I watched InuYashaa and started watching FMA that he played Kouga! It wasn't until i realized that Kouga's voice sounded familair and looked it up! God, Scott is amazing, even if he DOES play characters I'm not fond of xD
