Bear in mind that all of Hayao Miyazaki's work has been purchased in it's original form by Disney, so they can afford to hire good voice actors.i,ll be definitly listerning to the japanese voices first. and i really hope they have sum decent actors do the dub. i,d hate any silly hollywood ppl 2 come along, i was horrified with what they did 2 Princess Monokoke. then again Spirited away was very good, so...
The dude who did spike spiegal in Cowboy bebop should do SOMEONE in AC, any1 I dont care who...he meh fav. english voices for anime.
Also, great idea about Mr.T, wasnt he modeled after him anyway?
Yeah, the guy who does Spike's voice is awesome. He did Shishio in Rurouni Kenshin too, and sounded incredible...evil and cool at the same time. I liked the guy who did Cloud's voice in Kingdom Hearts....he seemed somewhat quiet, but still scratchy and menacing...sort of what I pictured for him. The Japanese voice actors will probably be better though. Ever seen FF:U? Worst. American voices. Ever.
spike's english actor is amazing. so i,m surprised he has been in sum mediocre anime. he appears in digimon, and is the main guy in Big O.
he also had a minor role in streetfighter II, played a reall creepy guy in GUYVER, and even played Shin in the FIST OF THE NORTH STAR SERIS. he was one of the guys from Bouncer 2 right?
he really needs 2 get into more genius Anime other then Kenshin and Bebop.

Voice actors dont choose their jobs based on how good the anime is. They probably havent even watched most of what they're in, outside of the studio. I'd rather he get into more profitable anime the things I think are good. I dont watch dubs anyway, so the point is moot I guess.
i just feel after he did such a great job with Bebop (imho the dub beats the original japanese version) that he would be in more demand and could get into quality Anime. Lol, maybe i,m dreaming...

He did do an amazingly excellent job. But anime isnt really like movies, where you move up and get in 'bigger' things depending on your skills. It's more just go-where-you-can voice acting, whoever hires you hires you. And to distributors, 'quality anime' is anime that sells well. To them, Pokemon is serious quality because of the sheer moneymaking it does.
yeah i see what u mean. explains why he went to Digimon after bebop.

He recently did a number of voices for Doom3...
he is so cool. i saw him on the bebop movie dvd. He reminds me of my fav Poker player, the Devil fish (from UK).
He was commenting on how Bebop represented the piniacle of his VA work. You could tell Bebop was sumthin he liked...something i suspect is rare with many other english dub voice actors.
in all the other stuff he has done his VA ability does not seem too great. but in Bebop he is incrediable. Maybe he really tried for Bebop. I hope they use him for any Bebop prequals.

According to Eyes on FF, the Japanese voice actor playing Cloud is Takahiro Sakurai. He did Cloud's voice for Kingdom Hearts, as well as playing Sion Barzhad in The Bouncer. He's also been in a lot of anime, but most of it seems to be pretty crappy stuff...Digimon, etc. On a good note (in my opinion) perhaps this means Square will get the Amerian voice actor of Cloud from Kingdom Hearts for the English dub...
I've heard (but don't believe) that they have got Ben Afleck to voice Cloud. I think that is totally wrong, as he just doesn't have the voice I have imagined Cloud would have. I think Cloud's voice in KH was great, but I wouldn't mind if they got someone else to do it. I think they should get Antonio Banderas (Mask Of Zorro, Puss In Boots - Shrek 2) to do the voice for Red XIII. I've always imagined him as being spanish...
I always imagined Red with a British accent, mainly because of the scene where you meet him. can think of a suitable British actor right now though.Originally Posted by Darkness

As for Cloud, the KH guy works for me.

In responce to the Ben Affleck playing Cloud... I would take that ONLY as a rumor. The English version cast is still under wraps meaning that the only way you could get the casting list, you would have to be working for Square.
As soon a the FF:AC English cast is released, I'll post it on www.eyesonac.com. :rolleyes2
Plus it kicks ass.
