Derek Stephen Prince

@numbuh34 forgot to add Iggy from Jojo's Bizarre Adventure Stardust crusaders

@TrueMyriad Eh. I didn't really like his Oma, but his Fuyuhiko was indeed perfect. He nailed every angle and moment the character had whether or not the character was throwing a cursing fit, calling everyone a bastard, realizing that the person who he had loved since childhood was going to die because of his actions, pleading them not to leave him, brushing it off and ultimately becoming stronger in order to survive to learning that everything was really just a game and finally the moment when he overcame his despair in order to beat Junko and see Peko again. He truly made him a human character who you could sympathize with and root for. I honestly think that might be the reason his Oma rubs me the wrong way. As someone mentioned earlier Kokichi is a 'troll' sort of character who wasn't to be sympathized with and took everything with a laugh while Fuyuhiko was just so relatable and human, so hearing his voice come out of Oma's mouth might have made me feel a little awkward.

@huzaifa_ahmed too bad its not wendee but still right on evrything else

Happy Birthday Derek Stephen Prince!

My top 10 *UPDATED* favourite roles from him are:

1.) Dr. Rudy Gillen (Monster)
2.) Uryu Ishida (Bleach)
3.) Artenborough Cortich (Gurren Lagann)
4.) Guts (Kill La Kill)
5.) Freeza (Dragon Ball Super)
6.) Ken (Digimon Adventure 02)
7.) Veemon (Digimon Adventure 02)
8.) Impmon (Digimon Tamers)
9.) Mondo Ooya (Mon Colle Knights)
10.) Reiji Shiratori (Blue Exorcist)

Holy Crap! Derek made for a pretty darn good Freeza all things considered. Yeah sure the Bang Zoom dub of Super probably didn't need to exist and was definitely a lacking in effort project by the higher ups at the studio but at the same time, it was interesting to hear new VA's in it and having Derek voice Freeza was one of the major highlights. Massive props to Derek for not copying Chris Ayres rendition and went in a more unique and different route as the Ressurection 'F' arc progressed. I really enjoyed how he portrayed the more unhinged Freeza from this arc which really helped him stand out from his other English Freeza counterparts. It's a shame the dub is most likely cancelled and will not progress further (which is understandable) but I would love to hear more of Derek as Freeza. I'd probably rank him 3rd on my English Freeza voices after Chris Ayres and Daman Mills respectively.

I'm also really excited to hear him voice Iggy in Jojo's Bizarre Adventures: Stardust Crusaders. Ever since he was cast as Guts in Kill la Kill, my first thought was THEY GOTTA USE DSP FOR HIM! Needless to say, they didn't disappoint. It shouldn't be too long until his debut appearance in the Toonami run of the dub though the real meat of Iggy's character comes in the Pet Shop episode and I cannot wait to hear him voice him in those episodes.

In Addition to his performances as Uryu Ishida, Aretenborough Koachicchi, Guts, and his many roles in Digimon.....

He was also excellent as Reiji Shiratori, Zazie the Beast, Koji, Lin, Sabao and then there's my personal favourite role of his Dr. Rudy Gillen from Monster. Dr. Gillen was definitely a different type of role for him to do and yet he pulled it off excellently.

Happy Birthday Derek Stephen Prince!

@Music Meister He wasn't in Data Squad.
