so your tmnt presence does just include the fact that they invited rob paulson?...

I noticed david peterson who contributed the covers to the upcomming idw one shots will be present too...but you had me already happily jumping up and down...thinking that the new nickelodeon show has a pannel there or something to start their promotion...

they don't even mention tmnt in rob's list

....

Agreed. "TMNT at ECCC" would mean actual TMNT programming. A lot of Cons have guests with TMNT connections but with no TMNT programming. Great that Rob is gonna be there, but this Con seems to have nothing planned for actual TMNT stuff.

Yeah, in other words... no TMNT presence. I'll be at the con, though.

You know, Andrew, I truly feel sorry for you. If I had the chance to meet Rob Paulsen at a convention I'd be hyped as hell!

Lisardo · 11-30-2011, 04:13 PM

I didn't know Rob Paulsen was gonna be at this year's ECCC, cool! I usually try to go every year so I'll definitely havta look for him while there!

*Raph's Girl* · 12-13-2011, 01:32 PM

Yeah, I still don't really get the voice actor thing. Even if I was a huge cartoon fan, what would I do if I walked up to him?

"Yo Rob, your voice... rocks!"

Is that about right? I dunno, seems weird to me, but to each their own.

Didn't see my post? *lol* Look up. I even posted the URL to his deviant art page

Yes he's known for his voice work but he started out in live action. He was Ryan Hope in St. Elsewhere, a bad guy on an ep of MacGyver (interesting note: James Saito who played Shredder in the live action movies was a good guy in MacGyver. He was in the very very first ep!), had a small role in Steel Magnolias, He combed the desert in Spaceballs, and a couple other live action stuff.

Well, with bigtime roles like that I would be a fool not to go and see him.

This is a silly question, as it infers that voice acting requires no skill worth acknowledging to someone who does it for a living. It is a craft as much as any other kind of acting or performance skill, such as singing or dancing. If you don't dig it, that's fine, but striking up a casual conversation with a voice actor should be no more difficult than meeting anyone else at a convention. I mean, really, what does someone say to Lou Ferrigno?

Not much, apparently. Every time I've walked by his table at different conventions and said the equivalent of "Heya, Lou!" he just grunts and points at the signs on his table that give the various prices for his signed memorabilia. I've heard similar reports from others, too.

Isn't he deaf?

My point exactly. Say "Hi" to Rob at a convention and you're going to get a much more sincere reply that isn't asking you to give him money.
