Loved his voice acting in Transformers. Actually forgot that he voiced Cell in DBZ as I hadn't watched the English dub in decades, but it was an enjoyable performance.
RIP
RIP

Dale Wilson was also the voice of Welman Matrix in ReBoot, and was the stand-in actor who would read Megabyte's lines with the rest of the Canadian voice cast while Tony Jay recorded Megabyte's proper dialogue separately from the others in LA.
He was Cell in the lesser known Canadian dub. The more widely known American dub by Funimation (as well as the Kai redub) had Cell voiced by Dameon Clarke.Silver Wind wrote:Actually forgot that he voiced Cell in DBZ as I hadn't watched the English dub in decades, but it was an enjoyable performance.
