Someone got him to do a line via Cameo (not a bad idea). Really fun to see, so I thought I'd share

If anyone can find anything similar, it'd be a blas to see!

Monsoonx4 did a few what-if videos.

Here's the various Ocean Gokus fighting against Freeza voiced by Lee Tockar (who plays him in the unreleased Kai dub):

NitroEX had Peter Kelamis and Brian Drummond do a scene from Broly a few years ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AJTuN4pBsfs
The point of Dragon Ball is to enjoy it. Never lose sight of that.

I thought Brian Drummond was fantastic as Copy Vegeta. Even better than Sabat as Vegeta honestly.

Hearing all the different actors makes me realize that I wouldn't mind eventual recasts in the English dub.

Well, excluding Raymond Martin Buyco in the Creative Product Corp dub Brian Drummond was the original English voice (moreover first Funimation voice) of Vegeta, and Chris Sabat was the recast who began imitating him. It's part of the irony of Drummond being cast in the "Copy Vegeta" role.

Aside from the Tree of Might movie, I have never really heard the ocean dub before. His performance was great and fits Vegeta's character much better. As someone who's only mainly seen Funimation as far as the English dub's concerned, i'm definitely open to some of the Ocean cast returning and eventual recasts.

I think the only role Chris Sabat excels at is Yamcha. His Vegeta, much like the last time he played Kuwabara, is showing age. Same with the English actors for Chi Chi and Adult Trunks honestly..
