Hey Gav! Happy New Year! Glad to see the ask.fm up again, as the last time I checked, you shut it down. How's it been going? Have you been contacted by TTG for any VO in their newest games like Walking Dead Season 3 or the new Batman series? Your VO is great and I hope to see you back.
Thanks, you too! Yeah, I had shut this down mostly because it was a stream of the same questions over and over. It also felt like work and being a bit of a workaholic, it wasn't any fun. While I'm never at liberty to answer questions about projects under NDA, I can safely say that I haven't had any professional contact with TTG (aside from auditions) since SDCC2015. Thanks for the kind words! If you like my talking, please check out Oxenfree by Nightschool Studios. I'll likely be able to announce another 5 or 6 AAA games in the coming months too, if you're into that sorta thing...
If you've seen it, what did you think of Star Wars: The Force Awakens? Tim Gruver
I've seen it thrice. I loved it tremendously and felt like it was everything I'd been waiting for since 1983. I'm sure I could pick it apart and find reasons to complain about certain things, but I don't do that with the Original Trilogy and I hold TFA in similar esteem.
Does it suck that election day is on my birthday? (11/8/16) Hunter Rodell
Not if you vote! Election Day is a pretty non-threatening day to share a birthday with, compared to Christmas, or Thanksgiving or Easter or something... At least on Election Day, your only obligation takes about 5-10 minutes and then you get a sticker.
i 've loved all walking dead seasons , i know you think its not as great as i guess season 1 ? Jared Porikos
I just think the most recent season feels a bit drawn out and most of that story arc could have been condensed into a two parter, but then I guess we'd miss out on Morgan's story, which was easily my favorite. Coming off last season, which I loved, it's kinda hard to top.
Do you think dave fennoy would play a good Ezekiel in the walking dead show if he were to play it
I think Dave plays everything well, so naturally, yes. Also, BEYOND!
How do you treat us to a Russian?) Dima Konnov
How do I...to a...wait, what? I think I treat you guys pretty well...to a Russian.
Do you like Clementine?
No where near as much as I like her voice-actor, but that's an immeasurable amount, so...
Have you met Dave Fennoy? He a good guy? Hunter Rodell
I first met Dave after we wrapped 105 of TWDG (season 1, episode 5) and have done a few appearances with him since. He's a very, very good guy, incredibly generous and hospitable and an amazing storyteller. I'm honored to call him my friend.
What did you study in college?
Linguistics. I started off as a music major, but dropped out of school to tour with my band (Dance Hall Crashers). When I return to school, I focused on Linguistics, thinking that I wanted to do VO for a living and fancied my own dialectology skills. Drama is probably a more common choice for actors, though.
Hey. I would like to know. In what season of the year will season 3 game?
You're not alone there. If I knew, it wouldn't be my place to reveal that.
Have u been watching Walking dead Season 6? If so what do u think?
Yep, I've liked it okay, less so than Season 5 though. I thought the mid-season finale was fine, though a lot of it felt slow to me and the whole premise probably could've been covered in a two parter, minus the backstory stuff. That said, the Morgan episode was probably my favorite.
Do you think you could survive as a cave person?
It couldn't possibly be that much different from the European Warped Tour circa 1996...
Do you watch anime/read manga at all? And would you be interested in doing dub work for anime? P.S. I have a huge crush on you.
Yeah, I've read some manga, most notably Blade of the Immortal, which I adored, Lone Wolf and Cub, Akira, Hirobi, etc. I'm a long time comic guy, so I'm much more likely to read than watch, though I do appreciate anime when it's really good... I'd happily do anime work, I just rarely see auditions for it these days. P.S. Thanks! ❤️
Have you ever checked out the Kenny page on The Walking Dead Wiki? You have a huge fanbase there :P
I do?! That seems silly...
What are some of your pet peeves?
Self-entitlement, ego, lack of self-awareness--pretty much anything that motivates people to place themselves ahead of everybody else.
When do you think a fan is creepy? And what is the creepiest fans you have seen?
Generally, fans (and people, really) that don't respect boundaries and/or push for lots of personal information or contact are creepy. I'm not sure I'd name my creepiest fan encounters, but I certainly could name a few!
I didn't mean the game would be shit :P I meant the decision to go with a boring ''Oh btw, these people who you've cared for that you saved? Yeah their dead...'' Hope you understand better now. I have alot of respect for you and the guys who makes the games so i hope you arent mad at me :(
Not at all! I just hear a lot of those criticisms of hypothetical storylines every day. I have faith that whatever ends up happening in Season 3, people will enjoy it. And for most people, Kenny and Jane are dead already ;)
Do you think it's possible for Telltale to make The Walking Dead Season 3, and Kenny is alive until atleast episode 3, and jane, for those who saved her. If it starts with ''Whoops, their dead''.,. it would be so shit
I honestly have no idea, nor do I think does TTG. I don't expect to be in it, I'm not working on it and that's kinda where I'm leaving it. If they call me next year to be Kenny again, of course I'll be there, but I have no expectation it'll happen. But I disagree that it will suck if they do _____ or don't do ______. That grossly underestimates a great group of storytellers and I've heard enough of that over the past year.
What type of job would you absolutely never take?
Voice over job? There isn't one. There are many many jobs I'd prefer not to take, but would still probably do them if I needed to. I'm not really a proud guy.
