Oh god! How do I choose between Piccolo, Dinobot, Rattrap, Duo Maxwell, and Toa Tahu? They're all so good and memorable! Not to mention his role as Tallboy on Riverdale!
I think my favorite role of his would have to be Deadeye Duck on Bucky O'Hare, cuz he basically got to play The Punisher if he was a duck. I always thought it was a great for him, and that it sucked that he didn't get cast to play cartoon ducks all that often.
You could have just 4 characters in beast voiced by one actor and it would still be entertaining. there should be a spinoff series that involves waspinator, dinobot, silverbolt and rattrap.
Caitlyn Green yes he did Rikuo, Lord Raptor, and Anakaris in Darkstalkers as well as Ken, Rolento, and Blanka/Charlie from Street Fighter and Proto Man and Dr. Wily in Mega Man. He reminds me of Michael Bell. Scott McNeil's birthday is on the same day as Colleen O'Shaughnessey's Birthday and a day before B.J. Ward's Birthday. Plus he is a distant cousin of Tress MacNeille.
If Mel was still alive, I could imagine him and Scott having a conversation as Daffy and Waspinator respectively, considering how often they got shot/blown up/etc.
He reminds me of Michael Bell, also his birthday is on the same day as Colleen O'Shaughnessey's Birthday and a day before B.J. Ward's Birthday, also he is a distant cousin of Tress MacNeille.
3:30 Perfection at its finest from all his characters. “One more crack like that, vermin, I will take you out the old fashioned way: BRUTALLY!” “Yeah?! I’d like to see you try, Dinoboob! Or should I say, Lizard Lips!”
M. Knight Shayamalan made a critical error in the casting of Split. McAvoy ain't got nothing on McNeil! Seriously, the fluidity and consistency of how he switches from one voice to another in this interview tape is truly otherworldly!
I really liked when Scott was talking about how Dinobot knew he was going to die 5 episode before Scott knew. That genuinely incredible and a real testament to the writers.
I love how eccentric and goofy Scott is in this interview. It reminds me a lot of how Jim Carrey tends to portray his characters. Scott definitely has Jim's zaniness down pat. Also, I WANT THOSE MEGATRON BOOTS! How the heck did he get those?! I mean, damn. I would wear those all the time if I had them! I'd walk through the part of them on every day! I don't care if people thought I was a Barney The Dinosaur cosplayer, I would rock those Megatron boots like it was no tomorrow!
The Megatron costume might have been something Mainframe Entertainment owned (you can also see the mask in the background). I suspect these interviews were filmed at Mainframe's office. In one of the other videos coming up later, one of the Mainframe animators is also wearing pieces of the costume.
Actually this interview FYI was a Madman Entertainment set. So actually it is NOT filmed in a Mainframe office, I can tell you this because in the back ground you can see a Beast Wars DVD set with an Australian Ratings Label on the set(yellow and white) A set that I own. Also Scott refers to the interviewer "Us Aussies" so it's very obviously done for Madman's release at the time. As for the Megatron head, boots and T-Rex arm, I have no idea, I do think he brought them along with him haha.
Yea, I know this is from the Madman DVD. However there's zero chance this was filmed at Madman. There's no way they would have flown 10 people to Australia to film a 10-20 minute interview each, when they could much more easily and cheaply fly one of their people to Canada to conduct all the interviews. Since there are six Mainframe employees interviewed, and because of the Beast Wars poster in the background; the same one that I've seen in an interview with Mainframe Producer Chris Brough, I'm guessing this was filmed in some office Mainframe opperated at the time.
@@BullSession Well to follow up. There was a Beast Wars episode 1 commentary a couple of them did and unfortunately as noted on TF wiki you can hear background traffic noise. They did fly a few voice actors and others out to interview them for the anniversary stuff. Madman are a pretty big distributor. And in fact one of the few. Also again he used specific Australian lingo referring to the interviewer as a fellow Aussie. That strongly implies where the interview took place.
Obviously the interviewer is Australian... I never disputed that; it's an Austrailian DVD. However, I went and read the article on TF wiki, and there's nothing in it about Madman flying anybody to Australia. In fact the article specifically mentions that this DVD set was pretty low-budget, as evidenced by the poor sound quality, and the fact that as you noted, traffic can be heard in the background. I therefore find it unlikely that Madman opted to fly ten Canadians to Australia and back just to get interviews with them. It makes far more sense for them to have flown one or two Australian Madman employees to Canada to conduct the interviews. Presumably this is why Simon Furman's interview appears to be recorded in his home, with his own camera (since Furman lives in the UK rather than Canada). If indeed everyone else being interviewed had been flown to Australia, then why not Furman as well? And why film David Kaye's interview in a different location? It seems pretty clear to me that these interviews were not filmed in Australia. It would make absolutely no logisical sense whatsoever to do it that way. If you can provide a source on your claim though, I'd happily concede.
This interview was recorded in 2006 for the 10th anniversary DVD's. OMG it feels like it was just yesterday. BTW it's a big pitty there wasn't a big cast reunion at the Con for the 20th anniversary. :(
Code of a Hero, was an amazing episode of BEAST WARS and television history ,period. Mr. Mc Neill's acting in that episode was Oscar Caliber. Amazingly talented actor. 😍😍😍
Favorite role and the one I know him best for is definitely Piccolo. That menacing voice tells you to "Take your hands off Gohan!" you better do it! (unless you're villain of the week, of course)
My First Introduction to Scott McNeil was in Transformers: Armada, where he Vocied Jetfire, I love his role as Jetfire, I hope he get to meet Peter Cullen the Voice of Optimus Prime
Thank you so much for uploading this Voice wise as a kid I would like Waspinator the most. But looking back, I really liked Rat Trap's voice. There wasn't that many two dialogue in the same line characters back then(sarcasm into sadness, quippy then blunt, etc.)
Scott McNeil reminds me of Michael Bell and also his birthday is on the same day as Colleen O'Shaughnessey's birthday and a day before B.J. Ward's birthday, also he is a distant cousin of Tress MacNeille.
i wonder if scott will return for beast wars if it really get the reboot that been spreading around for the last couple of years online for 2019 or 2020 release rumor was
Watching these QnAs with voice actors is always a treat as a massive Transformers fan. And they've even helped and advised me when learning performing arts and voice acting. Scott McNeil did a perfect job in giving the characters life and is what made them so enjoyable as characters. Scott McNeil, you did great! Also, where can I find those Megatron boots? They look very fashionable.
Met him at youmacon. Was very witty and friendly, immediately agreeing to a picture. Completely forgot to show him my Dinobot voice (a little bit star struck)
Scott: "cartoon characters never die, I'm pretty sure mine was the first!" everyone else: "......eh...Scott?......I think the original Optimus Prime would disagree with you on that one."
i didn't know he played Dinobot, Waspnator, and Silverbolt also, i know he played Rattrap and Duo Maxwell, but at first i didn't know who the actor was in til now.
as a kid I had no idea dinobot died; last episode I watched was when optimus went into that star and his little craft exploded then it said "The End?" I didnt have time to watch it anymore
@@pyramidhead138 Ahhh, was gonna' say most of us over here stopped at that point. Not by choice, they just decided to not tell ANYONE when it came back on TV in a weird time slot :/ (you know the show is trying to be killed off when: ).
