It will be very stupid. And anyway, so I got my start as Adam and Power Rangers. All right. All right.
Yes, let's go. Okay. And then I got into VoiceOver. Vash and Tragon.

I'm going to name one that you won't know. Oh, here's one. Solo, Melody of Oblivion. Oh, I'm going to do this for the writers.

How about D-O? Don't make eye. Sosirig, yes. Kiba.
And Wolf's Ring. Yeah. His Ring fans. Zero.
Zero. Zero. Zero. Both.
I was a couple of zeros, actually. Anyways, okay, so this is a Q&A. You guys could start thinking up some questions. And I will be my best to answer them.
And if we start running into where you guys have no questions. Then I will just tell stories. Yeah. Which I have some really stupid stories.
So some of you are here. I'm sure. Yes. Every car you drive you talk to ask, two people.
You ask us the power interest? No. There's going to be something related to power interest. Okay, so somebody not fictional?
Actually, half the way or fictional. Can they have already been a president? I can do Lincoln? You know, a Ram Lincoln thing?
Let's see. What? The vampire, the other one, though. Oh, gosh.
Guys, just kidding. I don't know, but no, not Rosie. Not Rosie. No.
No. Nero, no way. All right, let me think about a character. I'll think of a character then.
Each girl wouldn't do it, man. You just get tired of things. The little show, my gosh. You guys are nuts.
Man, I would need more towards like fat. I would be like, oh, no. You guys are nuts. Man, I would need more towards like, fat.
You're like, yeah, maybe fucking the two or something. Somebody friendly. That's probably fat. Yeah?
I'm here. I'm talking about it. All right, yes. All right, so I got some on those and shot some of you.
Shot some on social media. Oh, here? Oh, with Ruben. Like, full notepad here?
Yeah. Oh, and a lot of people thought it was definitely great. Oh, yeah. And we had to take the pictures down.
Regardless of whether or not you can or can not confirm. I'll tell you right now that that was not Devil May Cry 5. Oh. Oh.
It wasn't. Yeah, it was not Devil May Cry 5, but the project, because it, because we posted, but we didn't say what it was, but everybody started assuming that, we were asked to take it down. Because people were like, you know, I assume. Now that doesn't mean that we're not going to be working on it.
Oh. I'm not confirming or denying. But you should follow me on Instagram. Because if I end up somewhere where that would be taking place, maybe I could be there for that.
It depends on what it is. I think any of the, a lot of the flying, like the rigging, you know, why work stuff? I think usually I have to stuck guys do that. Yeah.
It's not that fun to be rigged up in a thing. It's not comfortable. But I mean, if you like getting into the things, like if you like doing your own stunts, it's pretty cool. You know, I enjoy it, but you know, it's easier and faster for them to shoot that with the stuck guys while we're doing our, or the acting stuff.
But we'll do a lot of physicality without that, you know. Basically, if they're crashing into something, then it's probably going to be them crashing into it unless it's like a small fall or whatever. Yeah. It doesn't work out.
But I'll tell you a funny story. I was actually there with Ruben working on something else. But he was one of the, he was a male character. Obviously I was a male character too, but then it was his, he was doing the scene.
And it was him, like, in a couple of girls. And they were walking or whatever. And then they had to, into a pose. And they only had one female.
So they asked me to be the other female. And so the funny thing is like, those motion captures suits, like they had like a small female. They had like a big screen behind us. And you could see the character.
So you're standing there. You know when I was my character, I could see what he looked like. And I could, you know, do all the reactions or whatever. It would move.
You could see him do the same stuff. And so when I got there as the female, I saw him. And, and, and, like, I didn't know that I walked like a dude at all. Until he did the first take.
And I'm like walking. I'm thinking I'm just walking normal, right? But like, when I'm playing it back, like everybody's busted up. Including myself.
Because like, I was walking like this. Like, I don't know where something else is going. I was like, what? I was like, what?
And I was like, all right, all right, all right. Let me try it again. And I tried to walk with it. And it's still just like so awkward.
It's like, it's just like not, it just wasn't working there. Like, I'll be jumping. It's just down. So I walk like a dude.
Since, uh, Super Sentaya, the fighting scenes from Power Rangers are directly cut from that. Like, what was the splicing like on the show? Cause you would stand there and you would be like shifted to turbo. And then it would be the Japanese fighting scene.
So like, how often were you actually in the Ranger suit? We were in the Ranger suit when we were taking the helmets off. I'm there. I'm there.
I'm on. I'm on. We're putting them on. And a lot of times it was stock footage from Japan.
We're talking about Power Rangers. If you ever watch the show, um, basically like whenever we get into the suits or whatever, or the giant Megazords and robots and whatnot, then that stuff would cut to 16 millimeter footage. That was grainy and all of a sudden it's weird. But that's cause it was stock footage.
They did shoot a lot of it as well though. At some point we did start shooting more of that, but that was still a stunt team. And not as we did. I mean, obviously just our city fights, civilian fights.
And you know, and that stuff. Most of the time it was that guy's always stock footage. The movie was a little different though, obviously because there was no stock footage for that. And my double broke his leg so I had to do my stunts.
All the ninjas left was me. But yeah, that's cool. Yeah, the back. Yes.
You forgot it? All right. Yeah, okay, go for it. Definitely Star Wars for me.
I mean, I like Star Trek, but my dad was like watched it all the time. But for me, you know, more Star Wars was kind of cooler. The force. I'd sit in my room.
Absolutely not. I feel kind of moving. I still do it. I still do it.
Yes. Hey man. Why did you do so key also on your sister? I was like, this is for my sister.
Well, because you said it's kind of a douche bag. Kind of your kind of, kind of you. Sorry. So yeah.
Yes? So, good job for the question is, if you had to pick your writing mate, if the luscious writing for president, your writing mate, your writing mate, your writing mate. Is the luish who was writing for president? I think you would have the luish who Trump.
Oh, my goodness. Hmm. Writing mate. Okay.
You don't have to be like another douchey character. Are someone not so nice? I think he would not be vice president. He'd be exact 20 minutes.
Oh, gosh. I know. He's actually would probably be a good writing mate. He's a, yeah.
If I could go back to everybody. But they would work together really well. I think. They'd always be playing chess.
It's holy babies. Or the main friends. Yeah, back to the moralistic meaning behind the Kira. Wow, that's pretty deep, man.
Steve. Now I've got to think about it. I'm not really sure. I'd have to watch it again or really actually think about it to give you a serious answer.
So I don't know. Do you have an answer? Or do you just want to make a competition for me this morning? Yes, what here?
Yeah, I don't remember if I auditioned for that. I think it was a role they just kind of cast me in. And I remember Tony Oliver was directing that. And I went in and he started describing the character.
It's a child killer. I was like, what? And then he's just nuts. The character is crazy.
But his killing and all that, he treats it like his art and he looks at it as art and whatever. And so at first I was like Tony, I don't know, man. I hate him so much. It's hard for me to play him or beat him.
I just hate this guy. And he's like, just ignore all that. Just focus on the art. Just think it's paint.
It's not good. And so I was like, all right, so I just kind of ignored that whole part of it and just treated it as art the whole time. So that's what I did. That's the iconic artist.
My second question is much smaller and I was just curious. You don't have to. Would you mind doing Enter the Amazing God to my friend? I think you have to.
I think you have to. Enter the Amazing God. All right, we're going to go fast back. Come on.
Yes. Oh my gosh. That's this thing. I don't want it.
It's almost like you're sneezing into your arm. Are you holding an arm up? No, there is a person there. Okay.
Is that a real one? Oh, you can still hold somebody else's question. You can have the next one, don't we? Yes.
Do I like tater tats? If they're like warm and crispy on the outside, it's self-donty inside. That's the way they're supposed to be, by the way. That's supposed to be something.
That's going to be something definitely. We just have for you guys. Yes. Somebody ask about a photo?
Oh, the book helps. Sorry. 8-4-Dumbly by Crossbow. One of these days you'll get it.
So I snipped through your IMDB credits and you have a random credit for Officer Johnny on America's Most Wanted. Is that a real credit or is it a misnomer? All right, so here's your name. IMDB is much like Wikipedia.
That's what I'm wondering. Anybody could post whatever on there. I think as long as you have an IMDB pro account or something. And so I have things on there that I have not been in.
I don't know who Officer Johnny is. There's been a couple at one point I was in, Bridesmaids. The other question is, do you ever get tired of being asked if you're related to the artist or the same last name? The Romeist River?
Yes. Can I hear it here? I haven't been asked that. That's not a real question.
I'm guessing it's not a real question. I really don't know. I've never really looked into my ancestry, I guess. That would be kind of cool if I was.
So yes. Or maybe just the spark plugs. Okay. So if you don't want to hear it.
Volusch back there in the back. What was that? If I go away, the Season 3 of Kogiost with Volusch. Well, it should be like, how many of you guys have seen Stranger Things?
What's the other world upside down? It would be upside down. And Volusch would be there. And start writing that.
I haven't read the ending. How do you go about this issue on all your names? Is that how it did? Oh, I'm sorry.
They haven't made any way. Are you kidding me? Are you serious? Sorry.
Sorry. Oh, my God. Wow. Okay, that's kind of funny actually.
I did this thing for Hawaii, and we made a joke about each of you having a baby. But I haven't read it, but I'm okay. How am I feeling? Walking to has to end, and I...
Oh, instead of root gear? I think that's fine. I mean, root is a dead chick. It's got like a dead body suit, you know?
It's just walking around in somebody's body. It's just weird. So, yeah. But what do you think it can't cook?
So, I guess. You have a lot of time. I guess. The scene?
Oh, I'm kidding. Let's see. I can probably do the laugh. Let me...
Okay. It's not going to be... It's going to be kind of... No motivation.
I can't even see what's going on. Here's something. Alright. No.
It's not changing motivation. I don't even know if I can laugh right now. Thank you. That's actually more of that mixed with bash.
Yes. So, I'll skip you with that. So, when you were doubting over the ballasties and parries, you know, like that... Oh, yeah.
And stuff like that. Do you think that helps you when you moved up to anime and stuff like that? Yeah. I mean, that stuff was doing the fight reactions.
That's all very natural for me just because I'm a martial artist. So, it's very comfortable. And I've always been really good at doing that. A lot of times, all of the time, I go throughout, like, bleach.
You know, a lot of times, they just roll it and then I chase the action. But, no, I don't think so. Not really. Because we...
I mean, that was just... I mean, it was all helmet heads. So, we never really had a match flaps. That's when things get tricky.
You know, especially with Japanese, because they don't always finish their sentences or when they're speaking, they pause a lot. You know, it's like, catching a perk or whatever. So, you've got to, like, try to make that natural, which is also tricky. But, I mean, I don't know if they really helped me, to be honest.
I'm really sore. Sorry, who? They're very similar. They're personality at least.
I probably have to say, each of you go only because every time you think he's dead, he's only becoming stronger. But they both have, you know, inner demon inside them as well. But, yeah. Same problems, I guess.
Yes. You know, I feel like maybe each of you go, because I can relate to each of you a little bit more. And I've got to fight a lot of things, which is kind of fun. But, Izaya is a lot of fun, no.
He's just a completely different character, you know. And obviously we've been doing his stuff here lately or whatever. And, yeah, I just love the character of Izaya. Any zay has a voice?
All right, I'll say, Mark, I... Yeah, I'm on a tell the story. I'm tired of answering. I was a question.
I was talking about that. All right, so I'm not telling a story. I've heard the quarter story. Really?
Okay. All right, so a couple of you guys have so I'm sorry, you guys. It's the same story. But I'm going to tell it for the rest of you guys.
This is a true story. Okay, so every time I go to work, I take the freeway. And so obviously coming back home, I take the freeway. And I exit the off ramp.
And there's like this light there at the end of this off ramp. And then I turn left to go under the overpass and head on home. But always on that corner where that light is before I make it left, there's like always like some homeless guy standing on that corner there. There's always been.
I'm just holding a sign or whatever. And I've always ignored homeless dudes on the corner, especially because I can be in my car. I'm not saying don't. There's plenty of people.
But in my car, I feel like I've got a seat on top and get jacked. I'm like, ah, I'm stuck. I can't find that. So I just filled it.
That's the mic. That's me. So anyway, so I usually ignore them. This one day I exit the off ramp and there's like four or five cars in front of me.
So it's like from here a little bit past that wall there. Four or five cars in front of me. It's a red light. And behind me pulls up this monster truck.
And it's a tinted windows. Big huge tires. And I can feel the vibration of the engine. Just like wiggling the earth in my car and freaking out.
And in my mind I see his turns and turns and he's like, mosh, I'm going to run. I'm going to run. So I think panicking looks slightly in my mind. I have these leftover carrots in the Ziploc bag that I had from lunch.
I'm like scar from the down, kind of fast lights in my last suburb. I'm eating them all up. And I look over this corner expecting to see some homeless guy that I'm going to ignore. But I see a homeless woman.
And I felt bad. I was like, man, I can be my mom. And I just felt instantly like I needed to do something. And I just finished all these carrots.
So I had an empty Ziploc bag. I mean, I might be the same here. I'm not really sure about in LA for sure. You've got to pay for parking everywhere.
So my couple of quarters are just full of quarters. They're full of quarters. So they're full of, you know what? I'm going to give her these quarters.
So I scooped up all these quarters. And I put them in the Ziploc bag. I'm like, well, it's like three pounds worth of quarters. And again, she's like four or five cars in front of me.
So I'm being like, pass that wall. And I've never done this before. So I just assume we'll go down my window, put my hand down like this and she'll come get up. So we'll go down my window, put my hand down.
Put my hand down. So I just have a sign. And I'm like, do I get out? So is it tossing into you?
And I'm like, no, I'm not. I'm not. I'm like, no, I'm not. I'm going to be like, pass that wall.
And I've never done it before. So I just assume we'll go down my window, put my hand down like this and she'll come get up. All right, so we're down my window. Put my hand down.
Three pounds like this. And she sees me. She's got a sign. And she's like this.
And I'm like, do I get out? So is it tossing to me? I don't know how this is supposed to work. And then as I'm like, you're like going, huh?
Light turns green. in front of me must have felt the vibration as well. Because they took off. They were gone.
So instinctively, I felt like I had to start going. So I started going. And as I'm approaching this homeless lady, I looked down and went 20 miles an hour now, which is her pound bag of quarters. I'm like, well, can't stop now, because my husband is right behind me.
And if I stop saying that he won't let me over. And so I'm freaking out. I'm not sure what to do. It's like, just get in the door and her dad.
And she's like, no, no, no, no. She can't sound too long. I put her under my car. I get dragged out.
I'm like, I'm freaking out my panicking and my husband's right behind me. I'm like, what's the pound bag of quarters? I don't have to do 20 miles an hour. And I was like, Johnny, I hit this moment of clarity.
It's like, Johnny, you're a martial artist. No. Focus. This is where that star was instead of star trekking.
He used the force. So there was 20 miles an hour, three pound bag of quarters. And I thought within this few seconds, I'll have to do 20 miles an hour ago. Not much.
I just threw a pound bag of quarters and fall gracefully into her hands. So there was approaching her at 20 miles an hour. Three pound bag of quarters. I was like, all right, Johnny.
Ready? And I released. And if you've ever been in an accident, time slows down. And I have said this before, but I think my god hits the snow motion button.
He's like, Jesus, what is this? Come on. That's a popcorn. I hit snowball and this one's going to be good.
I put this back a lot when he's dead. And the first thing he sees. And so that was, I released this three pound bag of quarters and I watched it fly at 20 miles an hour into the air towards this homeless holdout. Three pounds of quarters.
Smacks her in the face. The bag ripped something. The letters fell, glistening in the sunlight. As she goes down, I'm driving by her so fast that everything I can do is this.
No. It's going so fast that I squeezed her around the corner. There's no way for me to turn around. They go check and see if she's alive.
I just kept driving. I feel dirty. I think from any other perspective, they look like a drive by corner. I think special was this.
So if there's a lesson to be learned, don't give homeless people money while driving their car. So true story, before that day, there's always, and I say this all the time, there's always been a homeless guy standing on that corner. And this was the first time there was a homeless woman there on the corner. After that day, not even kidding.
There's never been a homeless person in that corner. And I go by that every single day that after a voice over, and there's not an almost like a what happened? I imagine they've eaten under this bridge somewhere. It's like a barrel fire.
There's a homeless guy standing there, like a woman himself up and this other guy reposges. Hey, Bob, how's it going? We're selling it. Did you hear?
She's dead. Some more children with cooters. We had just enough to pay her. Don't go to that corner anymore.
True story. Except for that nice bit with it being under the wall. I don't know. Right?
Why wouldn't they go there again? They've always been there now. They just don't go there anymore. They must talk.
They talk to you about your shelter and say don't go there. I should run for office and carry back a quarter. All around town. They're going to go to homeless people.
I had to see it. It's like an urban legend. They're going to go to homeless people. They tell their little homeless kids.
So they go a bit at night. They're going to get to you. They're going to sleep. They're going to sleep.
They're going to get to you. They're going to get to you. The screams no. If you listen, they didn't ask.
You can hear his how. No. Okay. All right.
That's not the question. Yes. What's the funny thing that's ever happened to you while you were recording? The funniest thing in the recording booth.
It wasn't funny at the time. I was working on both of the rain. Typically, I'd try to show up early or whatever. I'd read through my script to figure out where we're going.
I was in the scene. But this one day I was running late. So I skipped breakfast. So I get there just on time.
I get in there and I didn't start going to work. But after a while, my stomach had to feel like it was one. You guys know that feeling, that emptiness. You guys know probably just when I take a quiz or test and it's super silent.
You're like, oh, oh. You know what I'm trying to tell? You're like, what do you think I was really bad? I think it was a funner.
But that's what I did. I was in the booth and every time I felt like my stomach was about to growl or make a noise, I would take some water. I shut it up. It would work.
I was like filling up the void or whatever it was. In my mind, it was like a growly monster. I was like, oh, oh, oh. I put water on his head.
He was like, oh. So I just think that constantly, right? Every time I felt it, I was like, oh, got you. I feel like I did boom.
So working my whole story doing that. It's working for a good while. Out of nowhere, it's super silent. I'm about to deliver a line in my stomach.
It growls, but it doesn't make a regular work. I'm like, oh, man. That was my stomach. How embarrassing.
No. Instead it goes. So I was like, I'm like, I thought I could squeeze out a silo. But my butt cheeks were like, no.
So I was like, what? And I could feel the heads turn. The director, Mary Elizabeth, the director, and Dave who's engineering the book turned quickly towards me in the weird window and I was like, oh my gosh. It's like my second or third project ever worked on.
I was like, I'll go over it. I was like, that was my stomach. And Mary was like, oh. And I was like, no.
I was like, no. I don't know what that means. I did. Okay.
And so she's like, oh, she's here. I was like, come in. Come in. It smells fine in here.
It smells like fine in here. I didn't fart in here. It was just my stomach. So funny now.
But at the time I was like, oh my gosh. Everybody has growly stomach. Have you ever had that though? Did you do the regular growl?
It's like, no. Don't eat breakfast one day. Just chill and do the water thinking and see what happens. Yes.
Actual writers. Yeah, yeah. An eye-tolerant. An eye-tolerant.
An eye-tolerant. He complimented me a lot on my take on Vash, which was very encouraging actually. That was the first thing I worked on. So it was really cool to hear from the original creator to say he did a good job.
Although he kept me in front of my brain. Oh, I'm sure. I had met him. I stopped wearing that after him.
I think he was the only one that I maybe met though. I've met other actors. I've met the voice actor for each go as well as Canada. I think there's another guy I can't remember.
They're all like to make. Actually, I'm half Asian guys. I've got to make that. Half of me is offended by that.
I may not have been in the mornings. I really do. I'm feeling alone. You guys can't say that.
I can't. Yes? Hey, Super Day of Range for a big show Entertainment Network. How does it feel to come to an event like this and be able to interact with your fans?
Oh, wait. That's who you are. I've got you on our Instagram channel. I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I'm not on that Super Day.
But how are you telling him? This whole time he's been in the wrong panel. It's been trying to hear me. Yeah, we're supposed to interview you later.
But how does it feel to come to NDK and be able to interact with your fans? It's great. The reason. It's like, if I'm working, I only have a little bit of time left, but when I'm in the booth, and I'm doing whatever scene it is, everything's moving pretty fast.
Nobody's stopping after each line. Great job, y'all. Wonderful. You're just working.
You're really just working trying to make sure you get everything done within the time that you're there for. It feels like theater, right? We do a scene in the crowd with cheer or whatever. That would be the reaction or the reward.
Being able to come here, I really get to see what shows have had an impact on people. I also get to see which ones did. It's really cool to meet people and find out the shows that really just had an impact. A lot of them surprisingly have really positive.
I think that's what we're just saying. They've all been very positive. Nobody's ever going to be like, you ruined my life. There was one guy.
There was one guy. One girl. Actually, I can't do it. The homeless lady, I hopefully just don't know who I was.
She's looking for me, right? She's the daughter man. She's the one that's going to defeat the quarter man. I think that's all of my time for today for this panel.
