Flag Points #17 Neil Ross
This is a Flag Points for the ages as our host Rob said! If you don't know, Neil Ross is the actor who voiced Shipwreck, Dusty, Buzzer, Monkeywrench, Heavy Metal as well as the somewhat pushy but famous 20 Questions TV Program host Hector Ramirez (which we failed to mention on the show.) He's also voiced many Transformers, Voltron, Centurions, Inhumanoids, Spiderman, Jem and Rambo characters throughout the years and many, many more! Check IMDB. It's astonishing. What does he have in common with our other big-name guest to date? He's an incredibly nice guy who obviously cares about his fans. Thanks, Neil, for lending us your valuable time. We consider it a privilege to spend time talking with you and wish you the very best. You brought life to many of our favorite characters and we thank you on behalf of all of us who appreciated then, as well as now, your work. Thanks for bringing a couple of Joes and an unruly Cobra to the session as well! Our listeners will be introduced to them in the future. Yo Joe!
That was a fun surprise. Neil’s voice hasn’t changed very much and he still does a mean impression of Shipwreck. I am a huge fan of the film “The Treasure of the Sierra Madre” and just watched it the other night, so learning that Tim Holt was Neil’s inspiration for Dusty was a mighty interesting bit of trivia. Neil’s interview was great and a nice feather in the Flag Points cap all around.
