Hosts Aljon Go and Dave Bossert go behind the mic with voice actor, David Kaye (Arishem - Marvel Studios The Eternals, Transformers, Ratchet and Clank). They also talk more about Marvel Studio's THOR: Love and Thunder, Disney and pop-culture news, and more.
David Kaye’s voice-over career began with ‘The Great American Hero’, General Hawk in the DIC animation series, GI Joe in 1989. Working as an on-air talent for radio station CKLG (LG73) quickly became less interesting as both on-camera and behind-the-mic roles started taking up more time. Over the next decade and a half, David’s on-camera burgeoned along with his voice career. David’s biggest moment was when he was cast as ‘Megatron’ in 1994 in the wonderfully popular series ‘Transformers.’ As a new animation art form was taking off bolstered by Mainframe Entertainment. ‘Beast Wars’ was born (‘Beasties’ in Canada) and would run for four seasons of “…the most fun you could ever have!”, says Kaye. Thus began an almost twenty-year relationship with the ‘Transformers franchise. In 2007, David “crossed over” to become the only actor in the history of the franchise to play the lead villain AND the lead hero when he was cast as ‘Optimus Prime’ for Cartoon Network’s ‘Transformers: Animated.”
David’s voice can be heard in Insomniac’s ‘Ratchet & Clank’ video game series as the loveable robot ‘Clank and “Hale’ on’. He’s also been featured in ‘Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions’ as ‘Mysterio’, ‘Nick Fury’ and ‘Captain America’ in ‘Marvel: Ultimate Alliance 2’, ‘Missing Link’ in ‘Monsters vs Aliens’, the game, and more recently, He-Man and the Masters of the Universe, Arishem from Marvel Studios - The Eternals, and Barry Barris in Farzar on Netflix.
