I have to say, this guy along with a few others are some of the only dubbed voices I like.

Usually I must go with subs, but Everyone from cowboy bebop, outlaw star, and FMA are all voice actors that I think do the best job at what they do Smile

My fervor is unlit.
I do like him in most of the dubs he's been in but I don't get excited over the idea of autograph sessions and the like.

ohh don't get me wrong I like his dubs, but just like any other voice actor/actress, I'd never line up for an autograph.

I'd only ask for that from the japanese directors.

Years and years ago, I actually managed to obtain his autograph. This happened when Full Metal Alchemist was still in the very early stages and I've got to say, he was a pretty nice guy. Very down to earth and just overall friendly.

I recently stood in line for a another voice actor's autograph recently (Wendy Lee) and while truthfully, the hours I waited were challenging (standing in one place all day is much tougher when your a adult, even with comfortable shoes) but this was a nice experience.

Would I do this again? Frankly, I am not sure, but at least I am able to say I received a autograph from a voice actor and I really thought that was cool.

Always get as many autographs as you can, because perhaps now you aren't fond of a guest's work, but maybe later you will be and you'll regret not getting their autograph when you had the chance.

Back when I was still a budding Gundam fan, I once passed up the chance to get Yoshiyuki Tomino to sign something. Later when I became more of a Gundam fan, I regretted it.

Penguintruth, especially if they become more well known later on or like you said, make a show you really like.

Might even be a nice present to a family member down the road and or make for a great memory.

There will likely always be anime to watch, but memories, you can't replace them nor can you ever truly relive them.
