Interview with "Transformers: Animated" Voice Actor Phil LaMarr

I will allways associate Phil Lamar with MAD TV and him playing Green Lantern Jon Stewart in Justice League

Haha, I didn't know he did voice acting till now.

It's weird how many characters one person can play.

I loved the Hong Kong Phooey joke.
also I can relate to his remark about missing transformer.
As I was interested in transformers for most of my life,
but only got really into it last year.

OK Time Out


So Ya telling me that Jazz will be in the Transformer Anime 2 as well?????????????

Whoa whoa time out.

Phil laMarr, THE Phil LaMarr, is going to play Jazz in the new series?

EFFING YES!!!

I liked his performance on Mad TV and Metal Gear Solid 2, he's a great choice for Jazz, "The King Of Cool!"

I'm just so frikkin' happy that JAZZ is actually in it. Being such a big jazz fan.. this is had made my day! yay!

The thing about LaMarr as Jazz.....I could see him doing a Scatman Cruthers riff...but I could also see Jazz sounding like John Stewart/Black Vulcan....I'm cool either way...Phil LaMarr is one of the greatest voice actors of this generation IMO and it's cool to have him involved with TFs......

Damn, how the hell many times did you hit reply?!

I'm really pleased to hear he's gained such a respect for the original source material, and for Scatmna Crothers as well. I'm so psyched about seeing Jazz back on the tube, and I can tell already, this was a great casting choice.

It's kidna funny, I said ages ago when Jazz was announced for the movie that Phil LaMarr would be the perfect choice. I've kinda gotten my wish here.

Who knew Kiwi's held such sway?

After reading his bio, I'm waiting with some anticipation to see what he brings to Jazz. I am expecting good things.

Phil Lamarr is the man!

Who did he play in Metal Gear? I cant remember and its annoying the hell out if me.

Cool I really like his voice acting. BUT I NEED SCOTT MCNEIL in there some where lol.

Scott McNeil won't be involved, since it's not being done in Canada. David Kaye is only in it because he does recording in the US AND Canada.

One thing I was interested in is that he doesn't want to do a riff on Scatman because he knows that there's no way to replace that voice. I'm glad he's going to give Jazz an updated sort of voice. I hope that he stays on for the second season and becomes a main cast member.

In Metal Gear Solid 2 he played Vamp, and he will be reprising his roll in MGS4.

But he actually auditioned for Dolph and Stillman before getting the part of Vamp.

lol, it's gonna be a bit difficult not thinking: "WTF, Jazz isnt Jazz! Its Vamp in disguise!!"

anyways, a bit out of the topic, but just gotta know: seibertron.com has been kinda slow lately though, but it isnt my internet connection's fault :S

Thank you. Vamp is a kick ass character im glad he back in MGS4.
But Back on topic, Im sure that'll LaMarr will do a way better job than who ever did jazz in the new movie.

Same here. At least he gonna give the character the respect he deserves.

he should've done jazz in the movie
