NO WAI!! I wondered what happened to this guy! The last time I saw him was when he hugged Jordin Sparks after the big announcement and walked offstage. o_O And now he's dubbing...
Sweet!

I thought he was endearing when he was on TV, but this is kind of a surprise. Hope he does well!

Actuallyyyyy, I didn't recognize him when I heard him play his character. I'm sorry if my post seemed confusing, but I haven't heard of anything about that guy since after his time at American Idol. Frankly I initially thought that was Roger Craig Smith. The reason I said what I said earlier was because I recently read in the Mania anime english track forums that Blake Lewis from American Idol was supposedly in the dub. But until I saw this article, I wasn't really sure. Again, I apologize for the misunderstanding.

I don't watch American Idol so I have no idea who this person is... I guess as long as he's good at acting then I wont really care. But I don't see why you would assume that if they can sing then they can act, they don't correspond that much. I just hope he has enough skill to prop up a bit roll.

Too bad getting the relevant permissions is difficult and then people complain loudly about it anyway when they do. |
Too bad it's not my concern what the companies do and do not try to work out. All I know is the end product, and in most end products, in songs aren't dubbed, which bothers me.

I wanted to say "excluding Funimation", but I'm not 100% sure all Funimation shows have their songs dubbed. I know all the ones I've seen have the songs dubbed, but I haven't seen every Funimation show. Although, either way, Funimation is a definite exception, so I should've included it anyways.

I briefly misread, "Blake Lewis," as, "Lewis Black," which would have, so far as I'm concerned, been incalculably awesome, if inexplicable. I'm not even sure what Durarara!! is, but few things cannot in some dimension be bettered by furious ranting, except for folk dancing, which nothing can improve.
I clearly need to start getting more than five and a half hours of sleep daily.

I loved this guy on American Idol and I also loved how (when I read the report On Aniplex's website) he said he's been a huge fan of anime for over a decade <--I love him more for that, I seriously hope if he is good he can voice in many other animes as well.

lol Well said, comrade.
I'm very happy to hear this, if for nothing else than because it means the side-story episode 25 is being dubbed and brought to the states but I'm also cautiously optimistic about Lewis portraying Kasuka. I loved the DRRR!! blooper reel and I think he nailed the junior Heiwajima brother's monotone perfectly.

Amazing! Way to represent Washington State! Ahaha
I agree Blake wasn't an amazing singer, but he's a great entertainer, and hopefully he'll do a fantastic job in the dub!

*squeak!*
Even more reason for me to watch Durarara! I saw the first few episodes back when it was first airing and always meant to come back to it...
I LOOOVE Blake Lewis. I own his first album in actual CD disc-y-ness... (I mean, really, who buys CDs anymore? Besides me...)

He's a much better singer in the booth than he is live, but I suppose that's true of many singers. My mom actually made this observation back when he was on American Idol, that his voice is a lot like Sting's; it's not a STRONG voice, but it's a nice voice and he knows how to work it to his advantage.

Blake is an old friend of mine, I knew him before AI.
I'm glad to see Blake doing voice work as well. I hope he delivers a unique voice for his guest character.
Who knows, maybe his vocal background could offer even more fun surprises.
