All kidding aside, he always seemed like a nice guy. Cool that you met him! The fact that he was evasive about the answer suggests to me that he was just honoring an NDA (Non-Disclosure Agreement).

Yes, it would be wonderful to embarass a man who's just trying to get in a workout by spouting cartoon dialogue he once spoke.

What I like to do is, get them in restrooms. Harder to do with the female VAs, but I can pass for a fat chick. If they point out my stubble, I just say I'm a Kardashian.

Oh god, I'd never want to do that! :lol: I mean, I felt like it kinda, but I'm not crazy stupid or mean!

I should've spotted him and yell at him when he starts to fail: "WAKE UP AND SMELL THE COFFEE, SLEEPY HEAD!!!" or something to that effect. :lol:

I jokes of course.

Your Bench is amazing when comparing to your Squat, that aside, you're so lucky, I'd have asked what he was selling and if I could have bought it :)
Next to get; Leged of Saiyan figures and Freeza's force

If anyone sees
Any of the Legend of Saiyan line going cheapish
Or any other Banpresto DBZ figure :)

If anyone has a cooler steelbook dvd that wants to sell it (prefer new but used is fine) when/if the dragon box movies comes out contact me :)

He mentioned the X-men comic series is on DVD or something like that. He plays Wolverine.

I neglected my legs for a long time.... not a good idea.

Possibly. I don't go at night, and I don't know how often he goes and when. Who knows, maybe he goes to other gyms. I don't know haha!

a lean 160 lbs of muscle. I have a very small waist... (like TMW) sucks. I'm trying to bulk up to 210lbs.

I went from a skinny 130 to 160lbs since I started going to heavy weights roughly a year ago.

I dont think Brain Drummond would go to that gym very often. He is better off going to a gym that has 500x Earth's Gravity :)

He'd definitely smell the coffee if you catch my drift ;)

He is wealthy so he could go to multiple gyms I guess. I'd love to have that kind of disposable income. Still just trying to meet Funimation's Sean and Chris at a convention together..... You got to meet Brain Drummond at a gym! Sooooo lucky ><

And unless you are 6' 3" bulking up to 210 lbs is an awful awful idea >< (I am 5'9" and 205 with a good amount of muscle with 20 lbs to loose)bench 350 squat 410 i don't want to be off-topic I'm sorryyyy

Where did he disappear to? I know he was on one of those Stargate shows, but didn't it get cancelled? I think he was killed off, anyway.

Peter's focusing more on his stand-up comedy career. He performed improv on stage with Robin Williams many years ago, and said that the hilight of his career was when Williams came up to him without any prompting and said to him, "You are really funny, you know that?" I certainly hope he gets the recognition he deserves. He's hilarious...here's a few clips in case anyone's interested!
A "rather haggard" translation of a line from Future Gohan in DBZ, provided to FUNimation by Toei:
"To think of fighting that is this fun...so, it was pleasant fight, as many as, therefore is a feeling which is good the fight where."

Hasn't he been focusing on his stand-up comedy career for a while now?

As fascinating as some of this follow-up is, very little of it has anything to do with Dragon Ball... :).

Huh?! Was he was selling the old DBZK DVD's? :lol:

What do you mean by "he has the old stuff for sale"?
When I asked him he kinda mumbled about it. He first said that yeah, he was recording new stuff; that they have gone back to "redo lines". Then he said that all the stuff you can get with him are already out and basically said there were no new stuff... kinda. He didn't really make sense lol. What I think he meant is that they are recording new stuff but all the old DBZ is out there. He mentioned the "UK dub" as he put it.

So, what is up with Kai then... I don't know, he mentioned it then went back on what he said (kind of). He talked about how he has 30 different shows he is working on at the moment and for all we know, Kai could be one of them! :mrgreen:
That sounds pretty awesome! Haha, being someone who wants to do Voice Acting, I'd love to just be able to causally meet people behind the voices like that.
I hope I didn't freak him out! He seems like a really humble guy; opening a school for voice acting and profits got to charity. He said he makes enough money voice acting that he doesn't need more! Wow, good for him!
Oh, god. Does this mean Ocean Kai is going to be a cut and paste from the old script?

X-Men, huh? That sounds interesting. I wonder if it's going to premiere in the U.S. also? Nothing like that's been announced recently...

Well, it probably isn't a TV show. It's probably this: http://www.amazon.com/Marvel-Knights-As ... hing+x+men

As for DragonBall Z Kai, I just don't see this happening. I know there's been voice actors talking about it in the past but, I think that boat has sailed.
