I don't think I ever heard about that...o_0;; *GASP!* *starts twitching/spazzing* M-Mis$ed 1nfo 0n Blum....Shame on me! *runs to the corner and sits there in shame* T.T
But seriously, it really sickens me that people go to those lengths to meet their idols. I for one like to admire their talent from a far. Sure, meeting them at a convention would be a dream come true, but still, its not like I would follow them all the way back to CA or something like that.

Thats one of the downfalls of being famous. But thanks for mentioning that to me. We can only hope Blum doesn't read that and more than likely, he won't. But he is an excellent voice character.
And no you are not a sissy for quitting the skateboarding phase. You just didn't like it as much as Tony Hawk (who totally rocks).
You wouldn't think rabid fangirls would go after a voice character because they aren't as famous as other celebritites. lol The world is full of surprises

There are quite a few people I know on other forums who would pay a million dollars to just get within 30 feet of a voice actor. But I can understand why most voice actors would like to keep their anonymity. They chose to work behind the mic rather than on the stage because they know what rabid fans are capable of if they are identified by appearance along with voice. Obviously, Steve Blum knows all about that.

Also, it is a clever gig that allows him to do both union and non union VA work.

To be honest I would love to meet some of my favorite celebrities and athletes, but sadly, I can only watch from the stands of a football stadium But I am not one of those crazy people who would chase them down just to say hi. lol. Blum is just playing it smart, which is smart in my book. ;D

And, I have never heard of any of those voice actors you just named. Maybe thats for the best I don't know if I would have an alias or not because that would sort of take the fun out of it. Would you have an alias??

Well, I don't like my first name very much and for some reason people have a hard time pronouncing my last name right (its easy to pronounce if you follow basic rules of pronounciation).
Wow, I couldn't even tell that Sora and Micheal were the same people. Funny cause I liked Micheal. I like Dojima. She rocks because she is always so lazy (a bit like me) ;D

My last name is only five letters- **tta. And its only 2 syllables and yet people manage to add in 3. o_0;; I knew right away DW was the voice of Michael. He has a great range. I'm very good with recognising voices. ^^

I am good at recognizing voices as long as they don't change from one character to another. Though sometimes when I hear a familiar voice, I have a hard time remembering where I heard it from. I like the characters that Lex Lang does. He is excellent and has the perfect voice for all of his characters.

I wish that dubbing companies would hire an almost new cast for each production. Sometimes it's really annoying to hear the same voice for the same personality of character time and time again.

Good point. But its sometimes fun. I know I've said this but I can't remember where, but sometimes its fun to compare the personalities of the voice characters in other cartoons.

You mean the guy who plays Goku in DBZ? Wow, thats the only cartoon that I have heard him in. Maybe I am not paying enough attention
