When I heard this news earlier today via a phone call, I almost crashed into the truck in front of me! Best news I have heard all day!

Pardon me, I will now go have a fangirl-squee moment!

And Jesus. How could you forget Jesus?

I knew McNeil has done a lot of voice work, but I was kinda surprised to read his work history and see several other shows I am familiar with. A friend of mine is obsessed with GundamWing and Inuyasha, so I've seen both of those, and I do enjoy GundamWing, but Inuyasha bores me after a while. And seeing that he voiced Hoenheim from Full Metal Alchemist is just really cool. I love that show.

From TF Wiki:

In the 2003 animated version of Ben Hur, he was the voice of Jesus. When Scott gets arrested, Robert Foxworth denies him three times.

I really wish I could go to Botcon now. I watch Care Bears: Adventures in Care A Lot just for his Grumpy Bear. Love it.

Scott's a good guy, just easily distracted during panels and signings.

Not that that's a bad thing.

Scott's awesome. Ran into him a few times over the last couple years at Anime Evolution in Vancouver (Garry Chalk told me Scott shows up every year whether he's a guest or not). Last time I saw him some girls had dressed him up like a pirate and he was on his way to get a sword. Very cool guy.

Some conventions have back-up plans for emergencies. AE has back-up plans for when Scott and/or other local voice actors just show up.

That said both Scott and Gary will be in England at Auto Assembly during this year convention week-end instead. Their gain is our loss, unless that pesky Icelandic volcano stirs things up again.
