Transformers Prime Q&A with v/a Steve Blum

Autovolt 127 · 01-04-2012, 04:09 PM

Steven Blum is boss and best Starscream. I just love his range from tough guy Wolverine to camp gay Leeron.

Steven Blum is one of the best things ever. He has done so many Transformers too such as Starscream in Prime, DOTM game, RID Dark Scream, Wars and Fortress Maximus, Barricade in WFC and Heatwave in Rescue bots.

I find it interesting how he's not just a fan of Latta's Starscream but also Tom Kenny and Charlie Adler his Superhero Squad Show Castmates.

Great Interview.

Like "only person in the room cheered" because the anime fans just didn't recognize it yet.

And I started wondering if the anime fans were like "who's the idiot in the G.I. Joe costume who just cheered and then dares ask questions about western animation at an anime con?" I asked him a question about what's it like to voice a character someone else has, as I the case of SS and Wolverine. For SS he gave an answer similar to the first question asked here about modling his performance some on Charlie Addler and that it was a real honor to carry on the legacy of such a character and how much fun SS was to perform in general with the character's wide range of emotion.
*snipped*
TFCon guys take note - Steve would be a great guy to get as a guest. He just has one of those room filling, easy going personalitites that truly enjoys the Con experinence. This interview is making me look forward the return of TFP even more. Steve also has one of the best tattoos I've ever seen, it's like the ultimate VA tattoo (related to Cowboy Bebop) and it's great.

FLZ...that was a great story, thanks for sharing it with us...and lucky you getting to meet and ask a question of him!

Checking out his tats huh??? Yo go girl!

great questions awesome to see that mr. blum likes voicing screamer and that he asked the other actors if it would be ok. cant wait for season 2 and hoping that starscream comes back early.
