Guy Gardner

Comparision of the voice over actors who have been the voice of Green Lantern / Guy Gardner with sound clips and images.

Guy Gardner is one of the various members of the Green Lantern Corps whose comic book debut was in Green Lantern Volume 2 #59 in March of 1968. Guy was originally a back-up member of the Green Lanterns for Hal Jordan but he did become a full-time Green Lantern (and is occasionally depicted as a Justice League Member as well). In the 1980's Guy became a parody of the really Macho Hot-Blooded American Man and is often considered to be obnoxious and this has been his known persona since the 80's. But still despite how abrasive Guy can be he is still very much a hero and a good member of the Green Lanterns.

EDITOR'S OPINION

Alright folks here in the Green Lantern VC section we take a look at... GUY GARDNER! Lets get this started!

James Arnold Taylor- As much as I normally like JAT's work in this show I do have some mixed feelings here as I do think that his voice for the role is perhaps a bit too high. Though JAT's performance did have a good sense of energy though (and while I am aware that Guy is suppose to be obnoxious in this show sometimes JAT does it a little too well). But JAT's work on the role is certainly not bad though as it does fit Guy's depiction on the show but its not one of JAT's better works.

Jim Meskimen- Jim's voice for the role was kind of generic, but to be fair his acting was pretty good as he does a pretty good job in playing Guy as a rather scared soldier pretty well. However its only an okay example of his work and of the voice work in that Motion Comic.

Joey Hood- I was actually rather pleasantly surprised with Joey's work as his voice actually felt rather natural for the role as it does suit Guy's rather brawny persona. I also liked on how Joey's performance does sound strong and commanding as a Soldier who needs your help and is one of Joey's better performances in that game.

Overall I am actually going with Joey this time as James and Jim are an okay second.

Diedrich Bader was obnoxious yet heroic plus he was funny. Joey Hood is also good.

1. Diedrich Bader- I'm a big fan of his and performance here is a good example why. FIrst off he plays the role of the jock douchebag really well, you disliked him but not to the point where he enraged you. THough I loved how the show didn't jsut make him a jerk jock, he had a charming and relatable side and Bader did wonders with it. He flowed into the relatable side to jerk side really well.

2. Joey Hood- He does sound like quarterback that's gown up and he does sound arrogont, brash and bossy without overdoing it.

3. James Arnold Taylor- Not his better work, it's a bit too much on how much of a jerk Guy is and he barley differs from his Green Arrow in fact it's just his Green Arrow with some gruffness. Could have been better.

4. Jim Meskimen- He was just kinda generic and doesn't really show any of Guy's personalities

Diedrich had a charisma to his role, but he didn't really feel like Guy. It was too smooth to be Guy, from what I've read of guy he's not like how he was in GLTAS

@GothamRed Guy's a bit a jerk, but he's a jerk with a good heart, and Diedrich portrayed that well.

Cant go wrong with Batman as Guy Gardner. :D

Why do I feel that Nolan North would've voiced Guy Gardner?

@D.A.V.E. Kinda funny considering Batman one-hit KO-ing Guy in that episode of Brave and the Bold, and now he's on the receiving end of the Dark Knight's "hammers of justice". XD
