Mark Ryan Interviewed
Posted: Tue Jul 03, 2007 4:16 pmFanboy Planet had the opportunity to talk with actor Mark Ryan, who voices Bumblebee in the Michael Bay Transformers Movie. In the interview Ryan talks about the movie and his (short) speaking part as the guardian of Sam Witwicky.
"During one of these many sessions Michael gave me some new dialogue that I'd never read before and we just played around with it. We tried several character voices at different pitches. I wasn't sure how it would be used but obviously I knew by then the Bumblebee back-story. That set me free to voice it with an understanding of the emotional weight of the character and the dramatic effect it might have at that moment in the story".
