Like Pete 00:01:43.849 --> 00:01:46.909 here, man, I can't, I don't even know where to 00:01:46.909 --> 00:01:50.090 start with Mr. Capella, but let's start with 00:01:50.090 --> 00:01:54.030 you telling us where you from and your journey 00:01:54.030 --> 00:01:58.090 to becoming the voice of silver. Sonic man, go 00:01:58.090 --> 00:02:01.430 ahead. The mic is yours. Cool, man. Now, thank 00:02:01.430 --> 00:02:07.349 you. Born and raised in central New Jersey, Middletown, 00:02:07.530 --> 00:02:09.849 Red Bank area. So if you've ever seen a Kevin 00:02:09.849 --> 00:02:11.949 Smith movie, him and I grew up in the same town 00:02:11.949 --> 00:02:15.990 in Leonardo, New Jersey. Yeah, so, you know, 00:02:16.110 --> 00:02:20.710 I came from good stock and I was, you know, I 00:02:20.710 --> 00:02:23.310 may look like a handsome, handsome young man, 00:02:23.330 --> 00:02:27.389 but I'm old. And so I grew up when radio was 00:02:27.389 --> 00:02:30.150 a viable or what I thought was a viable option 00:02:30.150 --> 00:02:32.710 for a career. So I went to school for theater, 00:02:32.849 --> 00:02:37.210 film and radio and got a job immediately after 00:02:37.210 --> 00:02:39.189 graduating college in New York at a big New York 00:02:39.189 --> 00:02:42.870 radio station and realized that money that they 00:02:42.870 --> 00:02:45.189 were offered to pay me wasn't even enough to 00:02:45.189 --> 00:02:47.050 commute from New Jersey to New York and still 00:02:47.050 --> 00:02:52.099 make a profit. So. I leaned into some other job 00:02:52.099 --> 00:02:55.020 while I was pursuing acting full -time. And because 00:02:55.020 --> 00:02:58.280 I had this radio experience, I immediately did 00:02:58.280 --> 00:03:01.500 a voiceover reel. And I was lucky enough that 00:03:01.500 --> 00:03:06.039 that was when the internet was coming into its 00:03:06.039 --> 00:03:10.360 own as a casting tool. And so I put my voiceover 00:03:10.360 --> 00:03:13.099 reel up on the internet, on New York Casting 00:03:13.099 --> 00:03:16.740 at the time, and got in with Four Kids Productions, 00:03:16.819 --> 00:03:20.199 who was doing Pokemon, Yu -Gi -Oh, Teenage Mutant 00:03:20.199 --> 00:03:22.360 Ninja Turtles. They were doing all the big ones. 00:03:22.580 --> 00:03:25.419 And so I would go in there and they would bring 00:03:25.419 --> 00:03:28.620 me in weekly and I would audition for the best 00:03:28.620 --> 00:03:31.840 stuff and I would never get it because they had 00:03:31.840 --> 00:03:34.240 me. Yeah, it was very, you know, and that's what 00:03:34.240 --> 00:03:36.360 being an actor is. You know, you go in for all 00:03:36.360 --> 00:03:41.719 these auditions and he, I was... I think I was 00:03:41.719 --> 00:03:43.319 auditioning for a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle 00:03:43.319 --> 00:03:46.400 bad guy one day. And they always had me coming 00:03:46.400 --> 00:03:49.719 in for these big, big, big voices. And on my 00:03:49.719 --> 00:03:51.759 way out the door, and I'm not even joking, I 00:03:51.759 --> 00:03:55.419 was out the door. And they were like, hey, Pete, 00:03:56.020 --> 00:03:58.120 you want to try this 14 -year -old hedgehog? 00:03:58.259 --> 00:04:00.900 And I was like, well, yeah, of course I do. And 00:04:00.900 --> 00:04:02.860 that's the one I got, which is like, you know. 00:04:02.919 --> 00:04:04.599 all these other guys were down here and then 00:04:04.599 --> 00:04:06.719 all of a sudden this is the guy I got who's like 00:04:06.719 --> 00:04:12.199 way up here wow and that's yeah and so and the 00:04:12.199 --> 00:04:15.099 rest is history that was like 2005 I think that 00:04:15.099 --> 00:04:19.620 happened yeah that's awesome man I mean consider 00:04:19.620 --> 00:04:23.000 I mean when they did offer you the part I mean 00:04:23.000 --> 00:04:27.360 did you at first how what was your Guess initial 00:04:27.360 --> 00:04:30.939 reaction to that. I mean like okay 14 14 year 00:04:30.939 --> 00:04:33.519 old hedgehog How am I gonna come up with this 00:04:33.519 --> 00:04:37.040 vocal? What am I how am I right without? Yeah, 00:04:37.040 --> 00:04:40.379 you know what's funny is like, you know I Now 00:04:40.379 --> 00:04:43.800 I've continued to train my voice like I take 00:04:43.800 --> 00:04:46.759 voice lessons. I do the right things but at the 00:04:46.759 --> 00:04:49.779 time I'm 20 something years old man. I'm a kid. 00:04:49.899 --> 00:04:52.300 I'm not taking care of my voice. I'm doing all 00:04:52.300 --> 00:04:54.829 the things that wreck your voice, including, 00:04:54.829 --> 00:05:00.769 you know, drinking and whatever else. And and 00:05:00.769 --> 00:05:04.649 so, yeah, well, I remember exactly where I was. 00:05:04.689 --> 00:05:07.250 I was in my apartment at the time. I had this 00:05:07.250 --> 00:05:10.610 I was living with my then girlfriend and my sister 00:05:10.610 --> 00:05:12.709 lived in the same apartment. And I got this phone 00:05:12.709 --> 00:05:15.670 call. I was upstairs and I was just stunned that 00:05:15.670 --> 00:05:19.439 I got it. And they didn't fathom. how big of 00:05:19.439 --> 00:05:22.060 a thing it was yet. You know what I mean? Like, 00:05:22.100 --> 00:05:24.959 I just didn't grasp, like, this is going to change 00:05:24.959 --> 00:05:29.000 your career trajectory. Because, you know, it 00:05:29.000 --> 00:05:32.139 was just the most, it's such a huge deal to be 00:05:32.139 --> 00:05:34.920 part of this franchise, which is internationally 00:05:34.920 --> 00:05:38.800 loved by millions and millions of people. And 00:05:38.800 --> 00:05:40.579 then we were recording, we were recording in, 00:05:40.579 --> 00:05:44.180 I believe it was winter. If not, I just remember 00:05:44.180 --> 00:05:49.100 I was really sick. And so... Another challenge 00:05:49.100 --> 00:05:55.240 to do this Higher Voice was that I was deathly 00:05:55.240 --> 00:05:58.240 ill. And I was like, I can't not show up. I'm 00:05:58.240 --> 00:06:01.079 going to be there. So I was living on tea and 00:06:01.079 --> 00:06:04.920 honey, tea and honey the entire time. And there 00:06:04.920 --> 00:06:10.379 was a Starbucks below the 4Kids Studios offices. 00:06:10.759 --> 00:06:13.360 And so I would religiously just be down there 00:06:13.360 --> 00:06:16.300 before my recordings, just chugging hot tea. 00:06:16.589 --> 00:06:20.069 Wow. So you were constantly trying to keep keep 00:06:20.069 --> 00:06:23.350 your voice nice and healthy for all the what 00:06:23.350 --> 00:06:26.129 you had. So although I don't want to say it out 00:06:26.129 --> 00:06:30.550 loud, but the drinking. Yeah, understandable. 00:06:31.209 --> 00:06:35.620 But so when When your voice actually came on 00:06:35.620 --> 00:06:37.259 the first of the first game they were released 00:06:37.259 --> 00:06:39.740 on that. I mean, what was your reaction? Did 00:06:39.740 --> 00:06:42.040 anybody commend you for like, oh my God, did 00:06:42.040 --> 00:06:44.300 people recognize you automatically or did you 00:06:44.300 --> 00:06:47.480 have to show like who you really were? Yeah, 00:06:47.480 --> 00:06:50.379 so I actually I think you guys will dig this. 00:06:50.379 --> 00:06:53.439 So the first of all, the recording was so surreal 00:06:53.439 --> 00:06:58.980 because it was the first story based Sonic game, 00:06:59.220 --> 00:07:03.279 right? It was Sonic 06. So first story -based 00:07:03.279 --> 00:07:08.000 game, and it was a phone book full of script. 00:07:08.160 --> 00:07:11.360 It was so much stuff. And we didn't get the script 00:07:11.360 --> 00:07:13.220 ahead of time. It was top secret, so we wouldn't 00:07:13.220 --> 00:07:15.279 get it until we got into the recording studio. 00:07:15.759 --> 00:07:20.279 And there was an American director and an engineer 00:07:20.279 --> 00:07:24.500 and then a translator and then three huge guys 00:07:24.500 --> 00:07:29.100 from Sega Japan who spoke no English. Wow. So 00:07:29.100 --> 00:07:33.360 every note that I got had to go from the American 00:07:33.360 --> 00:07:35.540 guy, to the translator, to the Japanese guy, 00:07:35.860 --> 00:07:38.079 to the Japanese guys, to the translator, back 00:07:38.079 --> 00:07:40.740 to the director, back to me. So it was like a 00:07:40.740 --> 00:07:44.879 really crazy, long, complicated process to record 00:07:44.879 --> 00:07:47.759 it all. And then yeah, man, when that game came 00:07:47.759 --> 00:07:52.399 out, I don't think it's until recently that I 00:07:52.399 --> 00:07:55.759 comprehend how big of an impact it had on people. 00:07:56.669 --> 00:08:00.050 Right. I mean consider the fact that uh Well, 00:08:00.050 --> 00:08:02.329 we we met you my son and I met you. I think it 00:08:02.329 --> 00:08:04.709 was back in February while we were out there 00:08:04.709 --> 00:08:08.629 my son Marcus, uh He was uh, he you and Jason 00:08:08.629 --> 00:08:11.050 were in town here in the RGB. Uh, shout out to 00:08:11.050 --> 00:08:16.990 the what was that a gamer expo? Yeah, I didn't 00:08:16.990 --> 00:08:22.550 get to meet you Yeah, so we we we got to meet 00:08:22.550 --> 00:08:26.740 you personally It's it's amazing how wholesome 00:08:26.740 --> 00:08:29.839 how holds a wholesome a person can be humble 00:08:29.839 --> 00:08:31.839 how person a person can be when they meet their 00:08:31.839 --> 00:08:34.500 fans and You were one of them and you were very 00:08:34.500 --> 00:08:36.720 humble to all the everybody that was coming and 00:08:36.720 --> 00:08:40.620 getting stuff signed Yeah, I gotta tell you man. 00:08:41.500 --> 00:08:45.399 I've never felt so blessed You know you do this 00:08:45.399 --> 00:08:49.539 thing I did it 20 almost 20 years ago and continued 00:08:49.539 --> 00:08:52.759 I did eight different games but like you do this 00:08:52.759 --> 00:08:56.799 and Look, I'm out in LA. I'm a film and TV actor 00:08:56.799 --> 00:08:59.360 along with voiceover actor. So and I've done 00:08:59.360 --> 00:09:04.860 over 3000 theater shows, 3000 live shows. And 00:09:04.860 --> 00:09:08.940 so to me, like I'm pursuing this art and there's 00:09:08.940 --> 00:09:12.500 such an art in it all. So the last thing you 00:09:12.500 --> 00:09:15.320 think as an artist is like you as an artist, 00:09:15.480 --> 00:09:17.299 you want to affect someone in some way, right? 00:09:17.399 --> 00:09:19.379 That's all any artist ever wants a good one. 00:09:20.870 --> 00:09:24.870 And I would never comprehend in a million years 00:09:24.870 --> 00:09:28.049 that it would be voicing this 14 -year -old hedgehog 00:09:28.049 --> 00:09:30.649 that's had the most impact on people. Like, I've 00:09:30.649 --> 00:09:35.870 done Shakespeare. I've done, you know, films 00:09:35.870 --> 00:09:40.450 about suicide. And the thing that affects people 00:09:40.450 --> 00:09:45.850 the most is this young hero character. And it's 00:09:45.850 --> 00:09:49.940 just such an amazing blessing. How can I not 00:09:49.940 --> 00:09:53.460 be humble? I am just, every time I see a line 00:09:53.460 --> 00:09:55.580 in front of me with people that want to meet 00:09:55.580 --> 00:09:59.019 me, there's been multiple times, you can ask 00:09:59.019 --> 00:10:01.940 my wife, where I've had to turn around because 00:10:01.940 --> 00:10:05.980 I'm crying. I go, oh man, I'm tearing up here 00:10:05.980 --> 00:10:09.440 because what a blessing it is to be in that position. 00:10:11.519 --> 00:10:15.519 The impact that you have on kids and kids becoming 00:10:15.519 --> 00:10:19.080 adults. Going into the future. That's right. 00:10:19.539 --> 00:10:21.820 I'm going to tell you this funny little story. 00:10:22.659 --> 00:10:25.840 So we were just at Pensacon in Pensacola, Florida. 00:10:26.320 --> 00:10:29.639 And we got in the night before. And so my agent 00:10:29.639 --> 00:10:31.360 and I both like to play poker. And there's a 00:10:31.360 --> 00:10:34.480 poker room in Pensacola. So we went to the poker 00:10:34.480 --> 00:10:36.860 room and we were taking an Uber back. And the 00:10:36.860 --> 00:10:40.980 Uber driver is this gigantic linebacker of a 00:10:40.980 --> 00:10:46.529 man. And so I'm just sat in the back, just quiet, 00:10:46.590 --> 00:10:48.490 because this guy doesn't give a crap who I am. 00:10:48.549 --> 00:10:52.769 You know what I mean? And so quiet in the back, 00:10:52.769 --> 00:10:53.990 and he said, hey, what are you guys doing in 00:10:53.990 --> 00:10:56.590 Pensacola? And my agent is one of those guys 00:10:56.590 --> 00:10:58.389 who he has no filter, so his mouth just goes, 00:10:58.529 --> 00:11:00.789 oh, yeah, we're here for the convention. And 00:11:00.789 --> 00:11:03.809 he's the best. He's so nice. It's like his best 00:11:03.809 --> 00:11:07.370 quality. So he's like, oh, yeah, I'm an agent, 00:11:07.389 --> 00:11:09.110 and this is one of my actors. And he's a voice 00:11:09.110 --> 00:11:12.990 actor. And I watch it. You know, again, we're 00:11:12.990 --> 00:11:16.129 in the backseat. And he's like, oh, well, what 00:11:16.129 --> 00:11:19.029 did you voice? And my agent said, oh, one of 00:11:19.029 --> 00:11:20.649 the characters in the Sonic the Hedgehog series. 00:11:20.649 --> 00:11:24.730 And I watched him go like this. And he's shaking. 00:11:25.809 --> 00:11:29.110 And he's like, well, what character? And I was 00:11:29.110 --> 00:11:31.669 like, well, I was Silver the Hedgehog. And he 00:11:31.669 --> 00:11:36.590 just almost collapsed. Wow. Wow. And you don't 00:11:36.590 --> 00:11:39.309 think about this. And we were talking back and 00:11:39.309 --> 00:11:41.309 forth. But he messaged me the next day on Instagram. 00:11:41.740 --> 00:11:45.740 And he said, hey, man, I was abandoned as a child. 00:11:46.940 --> 00:11:50.080 And your character is what got me through all 00:11:50.080 --> 00:11:53.360 of it. And he wrote me this beautiful long letter. 00:11:53.860 --> 00:11:57.440 And you just never know what the work you do, 00:11:57.519 --> 00:12:00.120 how it's going to affect people. Yes. Right. 00:12:00.419 --> 00:12:02.559 And it's funny that you say the same conversation 00:12:02.559 --> 00:12:05.580 we had on Tuesday, my brother and I, we got to 00:12:05.580 --> 00:12:07.580 interview, uh, Anthony Tyler Quinn. Big shout 00:12:07.580 --> 00:12:10.419 out to Mr. Turner from avoidance world. He said 00:12:10.419 --> 00:12:12.480 similar to what you're saying. Also, there's 00:12:12.480 --> 00:12:15.879 a lot of fans that they meet that I guess it's 00:12:15.879 --> 00:12:19.419 an impact in their lives at one moment. And you 00:12:19.419 --> 00:12:21.820 don't realize as an actor, as a voice actor or, 00:12:21.820 --> 00:12:24.059 or anything like that, it's, it's something I 00:12:24.059 --> 00:12:27.279 guess you can say it's, it's like, Kind of like, 00:12:27.500 --> 00:12:29.320 not like, well, I would say like maybe like an 00:12:29.320 --> 00:12:31.340 accomplishment or something you did that you 00:12:31.340 --> 00:12:33.500 didn't know that you did, I guess, if that's 00:12:33.500 --> 00:12:35.639 the best way to explain it. That's a perfect 00:12:35.639 --> 00:12:37.919 way to explain. Not only that, and I will readily 00:12:37.919 --> 00:12:40.600 admit to this, there were years where I tried 00:12:40.600 --> 00:12:44.220 to push this away. I was, I'm in LA, you know, 00:12:44.220 --> 00:12:47.500 I was young, 30 something. I was like trying 00:12:47.500 --> 00:12:50.480 to pursue this serious acting career. And so 00:12:50.480 --> 00:12:52.259 when people brought it up, I was like, yeah, 00:12:52.279 --> 00:12:53.980 yeah, yeah, fine. Yeah, whatever. I just stopped 00:12:53.980 --> 00:12:56.970 what I want to be associated with. Right. Not 00:12:56.970 --> 00:12:59.450 knowing that you could be associated with all 00:12:59.450 --> 00:13:02.450 the things and embrace all the work that you've 00:13:02.450 --> 00:13:04.970 done. I was just so stupid about it or cocky 00:13:04.970 --> 00:13:07.149 about it or ignorant about it, whatever it may 00:13:07.149 --> 00:13:12.470 be. But now I feel so lucky that people really 00:13:12.470 --> 00:13:14.909 connected with that character. And then it was 00:13:14.909 --> 00:13:16.909 written so well. It starts with the writers, 00:13:17.009 --> 00:13:19.940 you know? Right. Yeah, that commercial I pulled 00:13:19.940 --> 00:13:21.220 out. Everybody was pretty impressed with the 00:13:21.220 --> 00:13:22.840 little commercial I pulled out. By the way, let 00:13:22.840 --> 00:13:25.940 you guys know, I do not own the rights to that. 00:13:26.840 --> 00:13:31.120 Please Sega, do not come back and sue me and 00:13:31.120 --> 00:13:35.440 reopen Sega all over again with my money. By 00:13:35.440 --> 00:13:40.659 the way, you're welcome, Pete. But yeah, I mean, 00:13:40.860 --> 00:13:44.659 the character itself, when I first saw Silver, 00:13:45.240 --> 00:13:47.820 I believe it was on the I think it was in the 00:13:47.820 --> 00:13:52.039 Mario Olympics, where it was Sonic versus Mario. 00:13:52.419 --> 00:13:54.240 And when I saw it, I was like, who's this guy? 00:13:54.720 --> 00:13:58.179 And I go, you know what? I go, son, you can take 00:13:58.179 --> 00:14:02.279 silver. I'm going to take silver. He seems pretty 00:14:02.279 --> 00:14:05.100 cool, man. None of that. He floats. He's awesome, 00:14:05.440 --> 00:14:10.389 bro. But yeah, it was like. there's so many characters 00:14:10.389 --> 00:14:12.889 in the, in the, in the, in that little Sonic 00:14:12.889 --> 00:14:15.309 series in the video games. I mean, it's hard 00:14:15.309 --> 00:14:18.129 to believe that I'm knowing you only boy, you're 00:14:18.129 --> 00:14:22.990 the only voice, uh, silver, correct? In the Sonic 00:14:22.990 --> 00:14:25.850 series. Yes. Yeah. So I mean, not only do you 00:14:25.850 --> 00:14:27.889 do that, you also do a little bit of anime also, 00:14:28.070 --> 00:14:31.480 correct? Yeah. Yeah, I was uh, I was dexter and 00:14:31.480 --> 00:14:34.899 yugioh for a couple episodes. Yeah I went right 00:14:34.899 --> 00:14:36.759 into that when we were there while my son and 00:14:36.759 --> 00:14:39.159 I were waiting to get and get get get uh get 00:14:39.159 --> 00:14:42.639 him uh his picture signed from you and we I saw 00:14:42.639 --> 00:14:44.740 that like oh wow this guy did more stuff this 00:14:44.740 --> 00:14:48.720 is awesome yeah yeah yeah you know wait so and 00:14:48.720 --> 00:14:50.960 even so that's you know when I look back on it 00:14:50.960 --> 00:14:53.159 that's why I can say like I was stupid about 00:14:53.159 --> 00:15:20.320 this stuff because of the 13 years younger than 00:15:20.320 --> 00:15:24.340 me. Who cares, you know? Meanwhile, it's like 00:15:24.340 --> 00:15:25.919 the biggest... Does he have a charge rider? That's 00:15:25.919 --> 00:15:27.399 all I want to know. Does he have a charge rider 00:15:27.399 --> 00:15:30.960 or any of the 50s? I just went back home recently 00:15:30.960 --> 00:15:33.500 and I was like, uh, he's not, obviously not home 00:15:33.500 --> 00:15:35.529 anymore either. Uh, and I was like, Hey dude, 00:15:35.590 --> 00:15:37.490 where are all your Pokemon cards? I want to go 00:15:37.490 --> 00:15:40.710 through them. He's like, I idiotically, he's 00:15:40.710 --> 00:15:43.429 like, I remember trading them away when I was 00:15:43.429 --> 00:15:48.330 a kid. What did you do? I know, right? But it 00:15:48.330 --> 00:15:50.149 wouldn't be worth money if everybody had them. 00:15:50.149 --> 00:15:52.830 So that's, you know, that's what helped raise 00:15:52.830 --> 00:15:55.330 that value. I hear you, I hear you. Going back 00:15:55.330 --> 00:15:58.750 to the Sonic, um, when you auditioned for the 00:15:58.750 --> 00:16:01.350 part, did you, did you know about the character 00:16:01.350 --> 00:16:06.360 in general? Me as a video, right? So so that 00:16:06.360 --> 00:16:11.399 was the franchise as far as like I knew Sonic 00:16:11.399 --> 00:16:15.000 of course like so I'm one of the lucky people 00:16:15.000 --> 00:16:19.059 who It's all I thought about when I was a kid 00:16:19.059 --> 00:16:23.379 was video games So I had an Atari 2600 and then 00:16:23.379 --> 00:16:26.379 I had a Nintendo and you know I worked my way 00:16:26.379 --> 00:16:29.200 up the you know I played Coleco vision like all 00:16:29.200 --> 00:16:31.500 of the things in between so I had every version 00:16:31.500 --> 00:16:35.779 so I went from you know Atari 2600 8 -bit to 00:16:35.779 --> 00:16:38.940 then the 16 bit and the 32 bit and then so I 00:16:38.940 --> 00:16:41.740 was I loved video games We would I'm from the 00:16:41.740 --> 00:16:44.580 Jersey Shore So there were arcades and my uncles 00:16:44.580 --> 00:16:46.519 would bring me down to the arcade all the time 00:16:46.519 --> 00:16:50.480 So, you know, I never dreamed that I would be 00:16:50.480 --> 00:16:53.360 involved in it in any way But yeah, of course 00:16:53.360 --> 00:16:56.919 we had Sega and I played I played Sonic all the 00:16:56.919 --> 00:17:01.509 time and then going in It's funny that you say 00:17:01.509 --> 00:17:04.549 the thing about knowing the character. I know 00:17:04.549 --> 00:17:08.349 you were referring to Sonic, but I went into 00:17:08.349 --> 00:17:10.569 that audition and they didn't know what the character 00:17:10.569 --> 00:17:12.809 was gonna be. So they were like, hey, here's 00:17:12.809 --> 00:17:15.089 this 14 year old hedgehog. He's kind of got a 00:17:15.089 --> 00:17:17.589 chip on his shoulder. He's coming from the future 00:17:17.589 --> 00:17:22.170 into the past to save his bleak future. And so 00:17:22.170 --> 00:17:25.890 I kind of channeled, at the time I had like a 00:17:25.890 --> 00:17:28.440 younger brother. who had a chip on his shoulder, 00:17:28.559 --> 00:17:34.259 he went and joined the military. And so I used 00:17:34.259 --> 00:17:36.299 him a lot in thinking about, oh, what was he 00:17:36.299 --> 00:17:38.119 like as a kid? And what would this guy sound 00:17:38.119 --> 00:17:40.799 like? And yeah, so that's where that character 00:17:40.799 --> 00:17:44.099 came from. Wow. Dang. So I mean, so you're saying 00:17:44.099 --> 00:17:47.900 also that you not only do voiceovers for anime 00:17:47.900 --> 00:17:52.180 and silver, you also do them acting also. Oh, 00:17:52.220 --> 00:17:55.400 yeah. Yeah, a lot. I've been, you know, there's 00:17:55.400 --> 00:17:58.319 been multiple times where it was this close to 00:17:58.319 --> 00:18:01.220 like, oh, that's, oh my God, that guy in that 00:18:01.220 --> 00:18:03.539 big movie right there, that's the voice of Silver 00:18:03.539 --> 00:18:09.259 the Hedgehog. But you know, the pursuit of acting 00:18:09.259 --> 00:18:14.210 in Los Angeles is... You think that you're like, 00:18:14.289 --> 00:18:16.190 oh my goodness, I've never seen this actor before. 00:18:16.430 --> 00:18:19.109 He broke so quickly, but that's never the case. 00:18:19.289 --> 00:18:21.410 It's people putting in years and years and years 00:18:21.410 --> 00:18:24.869 of work until they get their opportunity. I got 00:18:24.869 --> 00:18:26.509 a fan here, my little brother's watching right 00:18:26.509 --> 00:18:28.950 now. He says, tell him to do Donatello for me 00:18:28.950 --> 00:18:30.710 so I can scratch it off my bucket list. That's 00:18:30.710 --> 00:18:35.450 what he said. Dude, I wish I would ever have 00:18:35.450 --> 00:18:41.869 done Donatello. Mirage Donatello. Mirage Donatello. 00:18:42.009 --> 00:18:43.869 There you go. That's what he's saying. Yeah. 00:18:43.869 --> 00:18:47.190 Oh, man. Yeah, but I can't tell you how many 00:18:47.190 --> 00:18:48.869 times I auditioned for the Teenage Mutant Ninja 00:18:48.869 --> 00:18:51.910 Turtles and didn't get it. And I loved the turtles. 00:18:52.840 --> 00:18:56.039 Really now man, that's that's I mean being that 00:18:56.039 --> 00:18:58.619 it's it's already evolved so many years in the 00:18:58.619 --> 00:19:02.059 making It's crazy. And now the whole thing it 00:19:02.059 --> 00:19:07.079 go into was there the enemy The actual comic 00:19:07.079 --> 00:19:10.900 book comic book row rowing I think the yeah the 00:19:10.900 --> 00:19:14.759 Ronin books.

And I'm not gonna support it for anybody. 00:19:17.220 --> 00:19:19.440 You got to read into it to the last turtle is 00:19:19.440 --> 00:19:23.160 but it's crazy. You know how you say how we talk 00:19:23.160 --> 00:19:26.799 about that is that just like Sonic, I mean years 00:19:26.799 --> 00:19:29.799 and years of it being in the market and people 00:19:29.799 --> 00:19:32.180 still talk about it, man. And that's what's so 00:19:32.180 --> 00:19:35.380 awesome. That's good writing. It's good. It comes 00:19:35.380 --> 00:19:37.539 from good writing. That's and you know, that's 00:19:37.539 --> 00:19:40.420 what any good actor will tell you we're just 00:19:40.420 --> 00:19:42.579 trying to do the work to bring the writing alive. 00:19:43.160 --> 00:19:45.779 Right.

Where have 00:22:30.039 --> 00:22:32.319 you seen the most love man? I mean, I mean literally 00:22:32.319 --> 00:22:35.960 the most love that you've seen That's a really 00:22:35.960 --> 00:22:39.319 good question. Well, I will say it the the answer 00:22:39.319 --> 00:22:43.440 is gonna be Tilted in one way because it was 00:22:43.440 --> 00:22:47.599 it's an unfair answer in that we did we did Sonic 00:22:47.599 --> 00:22:52.319 Expo in Dallas in November It was Sonic themed 00:22:52.319 --> 00:22:56.579 and so that means everyone was there to see us 00:22:56.579 --> 00:23:01.099 and only us. And so, you know, we had, it wasn't 00:23:01.099 --> 00:23:05.000 as big as the con that I met you at, the Gamer 00:23:05.000 --> 00:23:07.799 Expo, which was awesome by the way. I was blown 00:23:07.799 --> 00:23:10.000 away with how good that con was. I will go back 00:23:10.000 --> 00:23:16.079 any time. The people are so kind and lovely there, 00:23:16.299 --> 00:23:19.619 honestly. But this con was about half the amount 00:23:19.619 --> 00:23:22.759 of people. And I mean, they, I watched them I 00:23:22.759 --> 00:23:24.720 recorded it on my phone like they were holding 00:23:24.720 --> 00:23:26.279 them up top and there was a stairwell for them 00:23:26.279 --> 00:23:30.019 to come down and I watched 1500 people run down 00:23:30.019 --> 00:23:32.960 these stairs to meet us all and it was really 00:23:32.960 --> 00:23:35.960 cool. Yeah. Yeah, it's awesome, man. That's awesome. 00:23:36.279 --> 00:23:39.400 So and as far as I mean, as far as memorabilia 00:23:39.400 --> 00:23:42.779 goes, the people that a lot of these uh, I have 00:23:42.779 --> 00:23:45.559 some sonic sonic sonic fan fanatics.

I think 00:24:15.009 --> 00:24:16.990 there was just too many people trying to watch 00:24:16.990 --> 00:24:20.069 What was going on and trying to see Pete for 00:24:20.069 --> 00:24:22.450 the first time?

They're really... from from people 00:26:10.930 --> 00:26:13.009 just breaking down and crying and talking about 00:26:13.009 --> 00:26:15.849 how you know mom and dad weren't there or or 00:26:15.849 --> 00:26:19.809 whatever to to even just like so there's one 00:26:19.809 --> 00:26:23.390 there's one dude who I've now become friends 00:26:23.390 --> 00:26:27.549 with and he He yeah, he does he does like silver 00:26:27.549 --> 00:26:31.269 the hedgehog stuff on YouTube, right?

And so it was just 00:27:13.650 --> 00:27:17.869 lovely gestures where people are like, you see 00:27:17.869 --> 00:27:21.539 you're making an impact on their life. They don't 00:27:21.539 --> 00:27:23.980 realize how much they impact mine as well. You 00:27:23.980 --> 00:27:26.500 know what I mean? Right, right exactly. Well, 00:27:26.500 --> 00:27:29.339 I mean that's a beautiful man to know that you 00:27:29.339 --> 00:27:32.380 know you reaching out to these people in odd 00:27:32.380 --> 00:27:34.799 weird ways that you don't know that you're You're 00:27:34.799 --> 00:27:36.759 affecting their lives, you know, and that that's 00:27:36.759 --> 00:27:38.400 that's a that's beautiful. I think that comes 00:27:38.400 --> 00:27:41.779 a lot from the gaming I mean me being a gamer 00:27:41.779 --> 00:27:45.640 Most my whole entire life kept me out of trouble. 00:27:45.640 --> 00:27:48.759 I mean kept me off drug kept me off drinking 00:27:48.759 --> 00:27:51.559 kept me off of I mean you name it And my mom 00:27:51.559 --> 00:27:53.200 was totally opposite. Totally, totally opposite. 00:27:55.160 --> 00:27:58.539 But growing up and I see it every day in my shop. 00:27:58.700 --> 00:28:00.160 I mean, we have kids that are like, oh, man, 00:28:00.160 --> 00:28:01.880 I've been looking for this game since I was a 00:28:01.880 --> 00:28:04.880 kid. And finally you have it again. And this 00:28:04.880 --> 00:28:06.660 is what kept me out of trouble. And this is when 00:28:06.660 --> 00:28:09.039 my mom and my dad got divorced. And this is what 00:28:09.039 --> 00:28:10.779 got me through this and got me through that. 00:28:10.880 --> 00:28:12.819 And it's beautiful to hear that man. And then 00:28:12.819 --> 00:28:15.420 they're passing that on to their kids. I mean, 00:28:15.420 --> 00:28:18.609 it's full circle. full circle. And I mean, and 00:28:18.609 --> 00:28:21.670 then their heroes, I mean, that voice, their, 00:28:21.829 --> 00:28:23.750 their favorite characters is like, it's amazing. 00:28:23.950 --> 00:28:28.029 It's a beautiful thing. Yeah. Yeah. As far as 00:28:28.029 --> 00:28:31.150 being a voice actor itself, I mean, if somebody 00:28:31.150 --> 00:28:33.529 was wanting to become a voice actor themselves, 00:28:34.150 --> 00:28:36.609 what would be the steps or what advice would 00:28:36.609 --> 00:28:39.630 you give, uh, for them to, you know, follow that 00:28:39.630 --> 00:28:42.730 dream to maybe one day being a video game or 00:28:42.730 --> 00:28:46.259 in an anime cartoon, you know, what Cause that's 00:28:46.259 --> 00:28:49.740 up and everybody wants to do that now. And now 00:28:49.740 --> 00:28:52.099 with the new technology that you have and stuff 00:28:52.099 --> 00:28:55.299 you can do on your own. My son, the great example, 00:28:55.420 --> 00:28:57.200 he does voice servers on his little cartoons 00:28:57.200 --> 00:29:00.180 and stuff, you know, the future on entrepreneurs, 00:29:00.180 --> 00:29:03.440 man, as far as voice acting, what advice can 00:29:03.440 --> 00:29:07.440 you give them? Uh, two things. One, learn how 00:29:07.440 --> 00:29:10.539 to take care of your voice. Uh, you know, how 00:29:10.539 --> 00:29:12.779 to maintain it, how to correctly use it, how 00:29:12.779 --> 00:29:15.299 to speak from your diaphragm, how to not blow 00:29:15.299 --> 00:29:19.720 out your vocal cords. That's one. Two, and this 00:29:19.720 --> 00:29:22.640 is the most important thing, in my opinion, is 00:29:22.640 --> 00:29:27.339 take acting classes. Because everybody can do 00:29:27.339 --> 00:29:29.960 a funny voice of some sort. Everyone I know can 00:29:29.960 --> 00:29:32.279 do a funny voice. And when I say I'm a voice 00:29:32.279 --> 00:29:34.339 actor, they're like, oh, blah, blah, blah, blah, 00:29:34.339 --> 00:29:36.680 blah. And I'm like, yeah, great. That's great. 00:29:37.099 --> 00:29:40.279 You can make that voice. But can you do that 00:29:40.279 --> 00:29:43.640 voice? and bring it to life with the camera never 00:29:43.640 --> 00:29:46.700 being on you. So you're attempting to, you know, 00:29:46.819 --> 00:29:49.640 an actor can use his eyes, can use his body, 00:29:50.019 --> 00:29:53.160 can use, you know, everything, you know, his 00:29:53.160 --> 00:29:56.380 wardrobe, everything about the character. Voice 00:29:56.380 --> 00:30:00.059 over, I'm in a closet talking into a microphone, 00:30:00.240 --> 00:30:02.299 trying to bring this character to life. It's 00:30:02.299 --> 00:30:04.500 acting classes that taught me how to do that. 00:30:04.670 --> 00:30:08.049 Right. Now, have you been offered besides besides, 00:30:08.049 --> 00:30:09.690 like I said, the anime that you've done before 00:30:09.690 --> 00:30:12.890 and the voiceover and the video games? Have there 00:30:12.890 --> 00:30:16.890 ever been any offers for other like big companies 00:30:16.890 --> 00:30:18.569 like I don't want to use the word, say the word, 00:30:18.710 --> 00:30:21.789 but like Disney or or DreamWorks or Nintendo 00:30:21.789 --> 00:30:27.210 or yeah, any other? Have you reached out? So 00:30:27.210 --> 00:30:30.089 I've done a lot of commercials, a lot of voiceover 00:30:30.089 --> 00:30:33.430 and commercials. So I was the voice of VISA for 00:30:33.430 --> 00:30:36.190 a little while. I've done other stuff like that. 00:30:36.529 --> 00:30:39.289 And then I have definitely auditioned for almost, 00:30:40.109 --> 00:30:42.250 not the movies, because they usually use a lot 00:30:42.250 --> 00:30:47.769 of celebrities, but as far as cartoons go, probably 00:30:47.769 --> 00:30:52.190 every big cartoon that you could possibly think 00:30:52.190 --> 00:30:57.609 of. I have auditioned for a lot of stuff. But 00:30:57.609 --> 00:31:00.390 you gotta remember, so did hundreds of other 00:31:00.390 --> 00:31:03.390 people. And there's just so many factors involved. 00:31:03.670 --> 00:31:06.450 There was a time, and I will not name the cartoon, 00:31:06.910 --> 00:31:09.849 but I auditioned for a cartoon. I thought I turned 00:31:09.849 --> 00:31:11.549 in a great audition. It was for the lead of the 00:31:11.549 --> 00:31:14.329 cartoon. It was, I think, a Nickelodeon -based 00:31:14.329 --> 00:31:20.869 cartoon. And a year later, I got a notice from 00:31:20.869 --> 00:31:22.670 my agent or an email from my agent. She said, 00:31:22.710 --> 00:31:25.900 hey, I have a voice match audition for you. Don't 00:31:25.900 --> 00:31:27.960 be mad. And I was like, what are you talking 00:31:27.960 --> 00:31:31.140 about? Don't be mad. And I listened to it. And 00:31:31.140 --> 00:31:34.839 it was the one that I had auditioned for a year 00:31:34.839 --> 00:31:38.339 earlier. And the creator of the show essentially 00:31:38.339 --> 00:31:42.839 just took my voice and copied it to the character 00:31:42.839 --> 00:31:47.819 that I came up with. And then was fired from 00:31:47.819 --> 00:31:52.779 the show. And so they wanted me to possibly take 00:31:52.779 --> 00:31:54.579 over and then in the end they didn't even hire 00:31:54.579 --> 00:31:59.000 me to do that so yeah it's a brutal world out 00:31:59.000 --> 00:32:02.420 there sometimes but it is what it is and that's 00:32:02.420 --> 00:32:04.180 what you that's what you sign up for when you 00:32:04.180 --> 00:32:05.940 when you're doing this and it just takes one 00:32:05.940 --> 00:32:10.480 big break like I got to like the second round 00:32:10.480 --> 00:32:17.589 of replacing Rick and Rick and Morty And like 00:32:17.589 --> 00:32:19.410 that was something I never even thought of. My 00:32:19.410 --> 00:32:21.309 agent reached out to me and said, can you do 00:32:21.309 --> 00:32:23.410 this? And I was like, I don't think so. And I 00:32:23.410 --> 00:32:26.089 went into my booth and I tried it and I was like, 00:32:26.089 --> 00:32:30.509 wait, do I sound like Rick? And there was a point 00:32:30.509 --> 00:32:36.670 where I was editing the audition together and 00:32:36.670 --> 00:32:38.349 my wife was like, I thought you were working. 00:32:38.390 --> 00:32:40.230 And I was like, what are you talking about? I 00:32:40.230 --> 00:32:42.170 am working. And she's like, no, you're watching 00:32:42.170 --> 00:32:44.950 Rick and Morty. And I was like, hey, that's me. 00:32:45.049 --> 00:32:49.690 That was my voice. As research. Yeah, yeah, yeah, 00:32:49.690 --> 00:32:51.789 yeah. That's awesome, man. That's crazy. You 00:32:51.789 --> 00:32:54.049 have another question there. I know. I have a 00:32:54.049 --> 00:33:00.150 thousand questions. Ask away. Ask away. Don't 00:33:00.150 --> 00:33:05.289 talk now.

I've become big into meditation It's 00:39:04.230 --> 00:39:06.909 changed everything for me. Just learning to slow 00:39:06.909 --> 00:39:09.710 down. I'm Italian from Jersey, dude So it was 00:39:09.710 --> 00:39:12.449 always like hustle hustle hustle hustle learning 00:39:12.449 --> 00:39:15.630 to just stop and breathe for a little while is 00:39:15.630 --> 00:39:20.349 nice Yeah, and you know, just just spending time 00:39:20.349 --> 00:39:23.869 with the family nice quick question another one 00:39:23.869 --> 00:39:27.409 i wanted to ask you i know the sonic series of 00:39:27.409 --> 00:39:29.750 the movies is the hollywood how they've turned 00:39:29.750 --> 00:39:32.969 around bass and everything and uh they have i 00:39:32.969 --> 00:39:34.530 don't think they've released yet who is going 00:39:34.530 --> 00:39:36.690 to be the voice of shadow i don't know if they've 00:39:36.690 --> 00:39:42.230 on the next one but if asked for i know there's 00:39:42.230 --> 00:39:47.090 got to be a sonic 4 if asked hopefully crossing 00:39:47.090 --> 00:39:49.909 my fingers here if asked would you do the silver 00:39:49.909 --> 00:39:53.920 part Cross everything, dude, of course I would. 00:39:54.599 --> 00:39:57.579 I mean, in a heartbeat. And like, here's the 00:39:57.579 --> 00:40:01.760 thing, if they did it, that's a whole movie because 00:40:01.760 --> 00:40:07.000 the plot of Silver's story, it's served up on 00:40:07.000 --> 00:40:10.239 a platter as a film. A hedgehog coming back to 00:40:10.239 --> 00:40:12.519 the past that kills Sonic and then learning that 00:40:12.519 --> 00:40:15.699 he was duped and teaming up with Sonic to beat 00:40:15.699 --> 00:40:18.079 the bad guys. Like, the movie's built in right 00:40:18.079 --> 00:40:21.880 there. So it would... I don't know if they would 00:40:21.880 --> 00:40:23.980 come to me because it would be a major, major 00:40:23.980 --> 00:40:27.199 role, but man would I take it right away. Hell 00:40:27.199 --> 00:40:29.679 yeah, I think you should aim for that. I think 00:40:29.679 --> 00:40:32.519 you should start writing it right now. I agree, 00:40:32.639 --> 00:40:35.559 I agree. What's your opinion when you first saw 00:40:35.559 --> 00:40:39.519 the first Sonic movie with the CGI? I loved it. 00:40:39.599 --> 00:40:42.659 Well, obviously the bad Sonic CGI that came out. 00:40:42.800 --> 00:40:47.619 I'm starting to believe. Here's my theory. I'm 00:40:47.619 --> 00:40:50.119 starting to believe that they did it on purpose. 00:40:51.139 --> 00:40:55.659 To create buzz about the movie, and then went 00:40:55.659 --> 00:40:57.940 to the fans and said, help us redesign, but they 00:40:57.940 --> 00:41:00.300 already knew what they were gonna do. I don't 00:41:00.300 --> 00:41:02.380 know if that's true, but I would be really sorry 00:41:02.380 --> 00:41:06.360 if they did that. Yeah, that said, I love them. 00:41:06.440 --> 00:41:10.639 I think they're great. And I think it welcomes 00:41:10.639 --> 00:41:15.530 in a brand new age group of Sonic fans. Yes, 00:41:15.590 --> 00:41:18.610 and anybody talking about sonic is help even 00:41:18.610 --> 00:41:21.269 just on a selfish level is helpful to us Because 00:41:21.269 --> 00:41:23.730 it just keeps us in the spotlight, but they're 00:41:23.730 --> 00:41:26.650 really well done. I mean jim carrey, you don't 00:41:26.650 --> 00:41:29.570 get better than that. So Dr. Robot daughter and 00:41:29.570 --> 00:41:32.570 body man. He plays one hell of a villain man. 00:41:32.650 --> 00:41:37.829 Yeah Yeah, it's awesome man.
