Happy birthday, Sean.
To me, you can't go wrong with his Goku. His work on NY shows/games such as Berserk, Sonic are great too.

If he voices a character of the One Piece Funimation Dub he should voice Jabra using his Archie and Cyrus voice from Pokemon. But unfortunately he not in more Funimation dubs.

He's also the Goku from my childhood, same with the other two.

Some great performances in other anime but he'll always be the voice of Goku (blessing and a curse). :P
Kind of cool how he's worked on both the 4Kids One Piece dub and the Funimation One Piece dub; the latter only being additional voices though.
Hopefully he actually gets to voice a character with an actual name in the future and then it'll be official!
I hope NYAV Post also gets dub the Berserk movies that VIZ Media unfortunately picked up... (would've preferred Sentai Filmworks or Funimation since they've outsourced dubs before)
VIZ usually keeps it local (L.A.) and only occasionally outsources to Vancouver.
Anyways although it wasn't the largest role I liked Schemmel's work as Gaston.
The interaction between Guts (Marc Diraison) and him felt very natural even though they record separately (like all dubs).
They really seemed like they were comrades with a great relationship.
I was really pissed when Gaston died. For a moment it seemed like he would survive but no!!!!
Why did Kentaro Miura have to kill a good character. :)

As I mentioned before on the Character page, he's fantastic as Goku.
I really like his Black Doom voice and many of his Pokemon roles.
Shame he's not in more Funimation dubs.
He's really good in 4Kids shows (given the material he receives) but it would be nice to hear him in more uncut/unedited dubs.

I would compare him to the versatile likes John of DiMaggio and Daran Norris! To have that much range and the power to voice a character like Goku... dang.
