Hello,

My Questioin Is:

Were you aware of what the exact project of KH was when you signed on to be the replacement voice for Ansem/Xehanort .... Also did you ever think at the time that Kingdom Hearts and your role in voicing Ansem/Xehanort and that the game would become so popular that there are dozens of websites and loyalties to the franchise given its not your average run of the mill video game....

Also would you still be interested in voicing or wanting to voice Ansem\Xehanort if they appear in future KH games..

Also My other question is....did you meet any or did you know any of the other voice actors before you became part of this game such as the late Wayne Alwine who voiced Mickey in the all the KH games or Jodi Benson who voiced Ariel aka The Little Mermaid?

[Rapidus Procella]

What was your first reaction when you were told that you were going to do the voice of Xehanort?

Where you excited to be apart of what now has became one of the greatest games?

[Rabla]

I'd like to see if he knows anything about Coded.

I'll just go with the "Will you return to voice Ansem again if the chance comes?"

[Keyblade817]

How do you feel takeing over the character after Billy Zane? and did you want to bring anything new to the character that you felt zane didnt acomplish?
and over all how was your experience working on a title like Kingdom Hearts? and what are your thoughts on the game its self?

[Salty]

Which Kingdom Hearts game did you enjoy working with the most? What other characters do you like in the series?

[Black Rose Witch]

While you were working with the other cast, did you come upon any problems with them?

[Snow]

What was your most interesting personal experience while voice acting for Kingdom Hearts?

[Rob Diablo]

What was it like working with all of the other great voice actors and staff?

[kurokitsunefang]

'Being that you have voice acted many different characters in the past, and even directed the dubbings of many different shows/movies, How is being the voice actor for a game different from an anime, or live action (you did work in a large amount of the Power Rangers series).

[AllEndsWith-]

Has Square drafted you to be in Birth By Sleep?

If they have, did they tell you anything about the story or any key points that aren't publically know....... could you tell them to us too?

Have you ever wondered who Xehanort really is?

[immblueversion]

When you were asked to perform the voice of Ansem/Xehanort, did it come completely out of the blue for you? Did you even know anything significant about Kingdom Hearts before you were brought on board?
