    It's a real shame he only got to voice Jazz in several episodes of RID but I was overjoyed to hear him voicing G1 Jazz during that 40th anniversary event.

    Because having my favorite Saints Row character voice my favorite Autobot was like a match made in heaven.

    Definitely the best modern Jazz voice, and a good replacement for Scatman Crothers for the table read.

    Speaking of, is this the last interview, since they seem to be doing the table read cast?

    It feels so sincere and like joyful during the beginning, but then by the end of the interview he just kind of sounds like he's at a funeral.

    His contribution was definitely a highlight of RID15.

    @Black Convoy You may want to update the news story on the front page, it's saying Arif voiced Bumblebee in the script reading when he took on Jazz

    I preferred Phil Lamar as Jazz in Animated.

    Dan Gilvezan did Bumblebee in the 40th anniversary table read. I think the news post is wrong.

    Why does he kind of look like Voddie Bauchum?

    I love Phil LaMarr's Jazz, in general I think his Wilt voice would be peak Jazz... but I think Arif also does a great job. :D
