Christopher Sabat

@Soul-dragon vrv has it

@blessanime Agree on his work as Roy Revant, he did an phenomenal job directing the dub for Solty Rei as well. Shame not many people seen this series, let alone the fact this one of the rare series Sabat got to voice the lead character itself (Other than Tatsumi Saiga from Speed Grapher (Another underrated Sabat role) and Kyoma Mabuchi from Dimension W).

Also surprised you have Hak since many hated the casting of him and Monica Rial as the leads in that shows dub.

Also, it's awesome he was in an Infamous sequel. & One-Punch Man (which I really should watch soon) & The Last Remnant's dub. Would be cool to hear him in LA more too; he'd make an *awesome* Hulk or Thing.

It was a real treat that I got to meet Christopher Sabat at the Canada Fan Expo back in August of last year, just after a month of meeting Scott McNeil (The Ocean dub Piccolo) at TFCon 2017 , I got to meet the Funimation dub Piccolo which made the perfect book end last summer for me, shame I didn't meet Toshio Furukawa, I would've been 3 for 3.

I usually don't get signed prints for autographs these days and I originally wasn't going to but when I saw the Kuwabara print, I was like. I so gotta get him to sign one with my favourite Kuwabara quote which is "I'm Kuwabara and in case you forgot, I got a sword" but to make i the real icing of the cake, when Sabat himself took a selfie of me and him, I had my autograph in my hand and that made the photo really unique and special. Of course both he and Sean Schemmel were there so getting to meet these two at the same con was pretty awesome.

Christopher Sabat's been going all out with the Dragon Ball Super dub, I mean the fact allow he got James Marsters to voice Zamasu was absolutely brilliant (and of course finally being redeemed in the eyes of the franchise after the disaster that was Dragon Ball Evolution) and getting Brian Drummond to come in and return to the franchise as the Copy Vegeta, also another brilliant idea. I was so unsure what they were gonna do with him but Chris can be very creative and resourceful with the casting of Super, which has helped made the more recent episodes really stand out. Even though the dub is still in the Goku Black arc, it's been coming along nicely and I really love how powerful the performances are. It gives me a lot of hope that when it comes to the Tournament of Power/Universe Survival Arc, we will still get a lot of unique and creative casting gags or casting choices.

*fingers crossed for Sabat getting more Ocean VA's to do cameo roles in the tournament*

I mean Scott McNeil could easily voice the Universe 6 Namekians and he has already voiced at Funimation before.

It's pretty cool that he go to voice Inferno Cop in the Space Patrol Luluco dub, making Chris Sabat one of the few English VA's much like Erica Mendez to voice two of the main Trigger anime protagonists. Hopefully at some point they will pick up the Inferno Cop anime and have him reprise the role.

I also like that he was cast as Keroberos in the Cardcaptor Sakura: Clear Card dub. I think he's a great middle ground compromise between both Richard Newman and Masaya Onosaka's renditions. Really makes me hope that eventually Funimation will get the rights to the original anime series someday in the near future.

and of course he continues to do a great job as All Might in My Hero Academia as always.

Happy Birthday Christopher Sabat!

@doodlebugfour I think that's intentional tbh.

@TheUltimatePhantom1 I already did. yeah he was awesome as snake.

(smoke) piece of cake.

@Domayv I also forgot to mention that Chris would make an awesome Megatronif a Transformers series gets recorded in Texas, particularly his younger version

@Travaughn13 How did Kuwabara not make it in there :(

@AkiraNamejin Too rapsy for Travaugn13's tastes maybe? Don't think most people like hearing raspy voices in their anime. A lot of anime fans weren't too fond of Maile Flanigan's Naruto and most of Greg Ayres' roles for that alone. :(

@HylianBelmont Oh yeah! Can't forget about his great performance as Garland!

@HylianBelmont Yeah!!! Garland of Final Fantasy 1!!!!

@Dr.Who 100% agreed!

@HienFan Yeah, I wasn't very fond of the way he played Vegeta and Piccolo in the past because of how raspy they both were, to me it made them sound like wannabe tough guys as opposed to the proud warriors that they both naturally are.

With all that said the way he plays Vegeta and Piccolo now is perfect IMO and I couldn't imagine them sounding any other way.

@HylianBelmont Didn't he have smoker lungs at that time? I'm sure he had a very pronounce smoker lungs that caused his older roles to sound that rough

@HienFan He did smoke for quite a while. I believe he quit in 2007, I think. You could really start to hear his Piccolo change around that time.

@HienFan Also, the screaming has had an effect. His early takes are noticeably higher as well as hoarser. In fact, it seems he likes to say that he used to sound like Vic Mignogna. Even allowing for exaggeration, that's quite a change.

@WittyUsername

I caught that to. Yeah lol he seems more professional now, but to be honest, I sort of liked his voice deeper with Vegeta and Piccolo. But that's probably just the nostalgia.

@SSJ4Godot

Both Vegeta & Piccolo have deepened considerably.

Since last year I managed to finally watch Yu Yu Hakusho and Oh man is his Kazuma Kuwabara awesome. Easily the funniest and most likeable character in the whole series.

He was also pretty good at voicing Raizen and Gama, the latter of which is a good example of his range.

I also liked his work as Ritsu Kasanoda, Toya Kamijo and Gregor Maximus.

Happy Birthday Christopher Sabat!

@IamOptimusPrime2020 The issue is that most cartoons and video games are recorded in California, and he lives in Texas. I agree that he's awesome and would probably do excellently in cartoons and video games, but not only does he get a fair amount of work with Funimation, he also owns and operates his own sound production company here in Texas, Okratron5000. So the chances of him up and leaving Texas to go to L.A. are pretty slim when he has plenty of work both from sound production and anime voice acting at Funimation.

I'd love to see him do other stuff, but I'm pretty sure he's said before that he's comfortable where he is.

@PsychicVoiceSpy Ok then, though the Ocean Group Voice Actors have a pretty good range. Just an example.

@Zillah *Happy LATE Birthday*
Blurgh I forgot for a moment what day it was.

@Dark Kuja He would probably make an awesome Batman!

@PsychicVoiceSpy

If his Piccolo voice is anything to go by, hells yeah.

@Dark Kuja

Because of the deep, almost intimidating sound of his voice I have to say he would make an incredible Batman.

@Dark Kuja THE ENFORCEMENT OF JUSTICE HAS BEEN PASSED DOWN THE BAT-FAMILY FOR GENERATIONS!!!

@Dragon Warrior Try contacting an administrator on the forum and asking them about whatever you want to do.

@Andy15Tran His Garterbelt ain't bad either.


That came out wrong.

@danielroberto1

I believe it's around 1 min.

@Jackson_H Not surprising coming from a character who's all talk.
