He's done a small amount of voice work in New York on stuff like Pokémon but he recently moved to Texas and has since gotten chatacters in One Piece and a few of their simuldubs. I've only heard his work as the One Piece chatacter, Tanaka, but based on that, he definitely is a great voice actor who understands the characters that he plays

Not bad at all, really. He'd need to do a whole episode or two for me to really pass judgement, though. Chris Ayers will always be english Freeza to me at this point, but if we have to have a replacement, this sounds like one I could live with.

I had to do a search to remind myself what illnesses Chris Ayres is currently suffering from (could only remember emphysema):
viewtopic.php?f=25&t=39259&p=1347679#p1347679
Advanced COPD, final stage emphysema, two blocked arteries. Will eventually need a double lung transplant and double bi-pass surgery.
...Yeah, Ayres isn't going to be in any condition to be voice acting again for quite some time, if ever.

Fortunately for the dub, Daman Mills appears to be a very acceptable substitute (and will have plenty of time to further refine his take on the character before it becomes relevant again).

Wow... that's kinda good. Not a bad substitute for Chris Ayres at all.

I think we'll definitely hear more of Mills when Dragon Ball FighterZ releases next year

Very pleasing to hear, I don't think Ayres will voice Freeza in the U.S arc his condition seems serious, but it is fortunate to know they have a good replacement ready.

Yeah, I see now about his condition. Maybe he could do some easy parts eventually, some parts that aren't to strenuous on him where all he has to do is talk rather than scream. I just wish he'd finished the arc before the condition really cracked down on him. Sad. Well, we have a year or so before the tournament arc, so hopefully he can refine it a bit more, but I'm not too worried since he's already THAT close in tone to Ayres' voice. Short of contacting Little Kuriboh, this is the next best thing to Ayres.
Only dubs that matter are DB, Kai, & Super. Nothing else.

Wow, Daman Mills isn't bad. Not bad at all. Sounded pretty close to Ayers with his own little twist, so it's still his own thing. I like it.

Does anyone have the TV cut of ending 3? After the 8:00 PM last minute schedule change, I recorded a re-run and the episode is not on on-demand.

I just hope Ayres recovers, even if he can't voice Frieza anymore, i just want him to get better for him and his family's sake.

I think Daman Mills was Lord Crehavos 9000 who used to do a few DB fandub scenes, but he eventually became an official voice actor and took down all of those vids.
I'm surprised they didn't cast him as Cell in TFC as he is pretty spot on with Clarke's Cell.
