Episode 54

Voice Over Actor Neil Ross

This week, host & producer George Sirois sits down with one of his personal heroes: voice over actor Neil Ross. They discuss Neil's years in radio, his transition into voice over work with commercials and industrial videos, his move into animation where he became the voice of such iconic characters as Shipwreck in G.I.Joe and Springer in Transformers: The Movie, working with Hollywood legends Warren Beatty and Robert Redford, and more!

Producer's Note: All apologies to the late great Steve Gerber, who wrote the G.I.Joe two-parter "There's No Place Like Springfield." Neil and I had his name on the tip of our tongues when discussing the writing of that particular episode.
