    The only thing missing from this nice thorough interview is sound. Fun read. Glad he took time out to do this for us.

    Great interview. I loved his Primal, and still think of him as the best Optimus voice (and Optimus character) thus far.

    It was great getting to interview Mr. Chalk. Though I've tried to salvage the sound a time or two. Perhaps after BotCon I'll give it another go...

    Holy frijoles!

    EDIT: Matt Hill played Carlos and Energon Ironhide. Those voices sucked.

    That was a great read.
    Garry is brutally honest -a trait I admire.

    So, he seems to have the exact same opinion of Optimus Primal in Beast Machines as I do.

    I didn't realize that. Normally I stop short of saying someone's work sucked, but Carlos had the most annoying "hey I'm Hispanic" voice I have ever heard. It was so forced and unnatural sounding compared with the character's trite dialog that it was painful to hear.

    If you want to HEAR an interview with Gary Chalk, check this out!

    http://www.a3upodcast.com/view/podcasts

    They also have an interview with Scott Mcneil further down. (He did the voice of Dinobot, Rat Trap, Waspinator, Silverbolt and many others for those of you who don't know.)

    It is so great to hear these guys when they are in and out of character. They are very cool people. :thumb

    I spoke with Garry on Monday. He says he's now out of his cast and walking around, even able to do some driving now. Again, he thanks everyone for all of their well-wishes.

    So, the boss-monkey is now back in the saddle! In fact, he went to Mobile, AL yesterday to do some filming.
