Welcome Wayne!

[CriticalCrittles]

Hello Wayne! It was a blast meeting you at the con, and I can't wait to meet you again! I must confess I have a tiny question that might just be a little un-turtle related if that's ok heh...cuz I don't wanna forget about it and I'm not sure when I'm gonna see you again....while we were waiting for a panel to start, and I was waiting for my turn to talk to Mike you started talking to me about Venture Bros and....didn't you mention something to me about how you were gonna try out for Venture Bros at some point but something came up? Or....did I just imagine that? I wouldn't be suprised if I did heh, I was so wrapped up in the moment of getting to hang out with you guys so much, it was awesome.  Just wondering, cuz it's bothering me trying to remember if you actually said that and if you actually told me the little story behind it or not. Thank you!

Hey Guys!

I just posted this on NTN and figured I should do the same here as I'm not sure who frequents which website most often. Okay, there is a slight chance that me, Campbell and Dan Green will be at Big Apple con this weekend. Can't promise a darn thing, but it is possible. Right now we're trying to organize a time when all three of us can appear together. That's not an easy proposition. From my standpoint, Sunday looks to be the best bet, but don't hold me to that. I'll try to be more specific as the week goes on. Hate to spring it on you, but the opportunity was sprung on me, literally, 12 hours ago. Hopefully we'll see y'all there!

Some answers:

Brina-I'd love some pics. That'd be awesome!!! I wish I had something cooler to report regarding my leaving the stage during that wretched panel, but truthfully, I had to go to the bathroom and then get some air. That whole deal made me more than a little claustrophobic.

Simba-Dan's always looking to go to cons, but more often than not, work pops up right around the time of the cons he's set to attend. AnimeNext hasn't contacted anyone at 4Kids yet, at least to my knowledge, but I know they're interested in getting Green Man down there, so it could happen. I'd like to go again too, they put on a good show.

Crittles-Nice to meet you too. I didn't know anything about the Venture Bros. until Mike brought a copy of the pilot to 4Kids before it aired. He kept it quiet for some reason. I would've loved to have been a part of the show-it's hysterical and very clever. A woman I went to college with plays a recurring character whose name escapes me right now.

Later!

see i knew i was just imagining things...i got a little too excited about other voice actors saying how awesome Venture Bros was heh. i do kinda remember you saying you went to college with one of the girls on the show...was it the Russian assassian type girl? Her character's name is Molotov, and she kicks butt!    Well anyway, thanks for sharing and by the way, do you usually go to Katsucon in VA? Cuz Mike said he'd see me there, I don't know if it's a thing he usually does on his own or if all the turtle gang usually goes to that....well, see ya around!

Hey Wayne,

I was wondering if you could help me figure something out.  I'm checking into what characters Dan does, and I keep bumping into Quarry on his list.  Though according to this site...  http://ericstuart.com/   Eric Stuart is Quarry.   Could you let us know which TMNT characters Dan does?

[Kazari]

Hey Wayne. Do you know which VA voices Bishop? I was curious.

[GrayWayne]

Hello, Gang!

A couple of quick answers and such.

Crittles-Yes, that was the character I was thinking of on Venture Brothers. Mia Barron and I went to NYU together back in the day. She also plays Girl Hitler and other various smaller female roles. Haven't seen her in almost 10 years now. Whew! I've never gone to Katsucon, but it's a well-known fact that I'm a convention whore, so if they ask, I'd certainly do my best to get there. Virginia's a lovely state.

Michaelangelo-Eric did play Quarry, not Dan. The main roles Mr. Green has done on Turtles are Mortu, General Mozar and the Professor.

Kaz-A fella by the name of David Zen Mansley plays Bishop.

Sadly, it looks like I ain't gonna make it to AnimeNext in 2006. They haven't asked me yet, but there's a bunch of reasons why it's not in my best interest to go. If things change, I'll let you know, but as of now, it ain't gonna happen. Big Apple is still a possibility for me, but Dan's time just got severely limited again. He may show up on Sunday, but he needs to be somewhere around 2 that afternoon, so it'd be a short visit.

Later!

Maybe you could make it to Anime Central in May? That'd be cool getting to see ya thre! We could really use some fresh Voice Actors there ^___^ I hope they ask you to come! That'd be the coolest!

[SimbasPride]

Hi wayne! But where exactly is Dan gonna be at the convention if you guys arent listed as the guests?

[SimbasPride]

and what time?

[GrayWayne]

Hey Guys!

Just a quick one today.

First off, Michaelangelo, I've been having trouble with my e-mail account, and I just now got your photo request. However, I can't really help you. The pics I have of Dan and John are hard copies and I won't be able to scan them, let alone send them to you in time for the convention. Especially 'cause it's happening right now. You can maybe check www.pulpexpo.com for any archived pics of Dan. That's the Armageddon con website and Dan was there last month and with me last year.

Eclipse-I haven't heard of Anime Central, but if you have a contact there, tell them to post an e-mail address here and I'll send them my contact info. Where is it exactly?

Simba-Dan, John and I aren't listed as guests because we're still not sure we're gonna be there. Campbell has a newborn and he's been out of town for the last week, so he may want to spend time with his baby. Dan might be there on Sunday, and I'm planning on being there then too. I'm thinking we'll be at the turtle booth from 12-2 or so. Dan has to be somewhere at 2, but if I can make it, I'll be there for as long as I can. I'm told there's gonna be a booth with people from Mirage, storyboard artists and some voice actors. However, and I can't stress this enough, our attendance is by no means definite.

Hope all is groovy!

 I wish I had something cooler to report regarding my leaving the stage during that wretched panel, but truthfully, I had to go to the bathroom and then get some air. That whole deal made me more than a little claustrophobic.

Whatever, Wayne, you totally had to go out and save the world.  You just say that to protect your secret identity. I know the truth.

Anyway, a big thanks to you and all your fellow voice actors from TMNT who showed up at Anime Vegas. I really enjoyed the panels you guys were on so please pass on a great thanks to everyone for coming out. You all did a great job.  And sometimes you got asked some hard/weird questions.  Like that girl during the Yu-Gi-Oh panel  who asked you to do Joey picking up Kaiba or something. That was kind of strange.  My friends and I were actually all cosplaying Yu-Gi-Oh characters that day and I think we were all a bit embarrassed for you. But you still did a great job, you took it well and I was really impressed how it was handled. Not to mention, it WAS pretty funny.  But at the same time, I'm kind of sorry that happened. *shakes head*

Anyway, I do hope Anime Vegas treated you well and maybe we'll see you again next year or even, hopefully, a convention closer to me. That would totally rock! Anyway, it was great seeing all of you and it made me love the show even more to hear how much fun you were having with it as well.

Thanks for your time and all you do Wayne! ^.^

Okay y'all, it looks like Dan Green and myself WILL indeed be at Big Apple con this Sunday. We're looking to get there around 11:30 or so. Dan has to leave by 1:30, but I'll most likely bum around for a bit longer. I likes the comics!!!! We'll be wherever the 4Kids/Mirage booth is, so stop by and say hi! Sean Schemmel may join us too, but the elusive John Campbell will be at his home with his adorable daughter. Hope to see you there!

Ty-Thanks for your compliments and your sympathy for me regarding that weirdo fan who wants Joey and Kaiba to hook up. That's a great story to tell at parties incidentally. As far as this secret id thing, I don't know what you're talking about, but you did notice that Vegas was pretty much disaster-free, didn't you?

-Mikey

[IveyAngelo]

Awww, I was so hoping to get the chance to meet Campbell...  Though at least here's a chance to meet Dan and to see Sean again.   I enjoyed meeting him at Anime Vegas.  

Hopefully one of these days I'll get the chance to meet him.    (BTW, no one from Mirage is there.)

[Andrew Modeen]

Greetings, Mr. Grayson. Do you follow at all the Mirage/Image comics of TMNT?

[Kazari]

Thanks for telling me who plays Bishop! I never knew that Dan played Mozar and Fugitoid! They sound so opposite! He does a very nice job. I'm sorry that you won't be able to make it to Anime Next this year.  Don't worry about it You can't go to every convention and I understand that. Heck I can't even go to every convention that is out there! I was glad to make it to Anime Vegas this year. Have a good day, Wayne.
