Mr Bell turns 69 this year. Was born 10th April 1938.Hope that the info helps you. I hope that he not too old to play a role either. If he can still do Zan (Wondertwin on Superfriends) and sound nearly the same as 30 years ago that's great. Be also great if he could do the voice of Lance in the new Voltron OVA that's coming.

Lucky guy! Wish I could go.
Seriously though, it amazes me how one guy can create so many characters. I have more respect for voice actors than real.

I love Bell (in a non homo-erotic way, I think) but my favourite of his characters has to be badass video game vampiric spectre, Raziel.
Wish I could meet him.

For a second there, I thought that said Michael BAY was going to Transformers Con. I was prepared to say "What a brave, brave man!"
Then I re-read, and was depressed... because I'm not going.

I'll be there. Maybe I'll get him to sign an old figure or something like that. Actually to be honest, I'm not all the interested in meeting the guy. He may be a nice guy and he played some memorable characters, but it doesn't really excite me.
Besides, I'll probably have a booth again this year. I just hope I don't get stuck behind the clutz that knocked over my Japanese PS2 G1 Game display again this year. They also damaged some of my Beastwars II and Beast Wars Neo DVDs. I still can't find my Beast Wars II Movie thanks to her.
