The Greg Cipes Appreciation Thread

*Donnie* · 04-09-2012, 07:07 PM

I've heard nothing but great, hilarious things coming from (or about) Greg Cipes. He seems so down to earth and a perfect choice for Michelangelo in the new show - you can tell he's really embracing the role. You can also tell from interviews and the way he connects with fans on Twitter that he's a really cool dude. That story on Paulsen's radio show (I forgot what it was called) was laugh out loud funny.

I think I'll always favor Rist first and foremost as Mike, but I'm confident that Cipes is going to deliver a very engaging and creative take on the party dude!

Track down the Onion Movie. Cipes plays a college protester who tries to broker a peace deal with two waring countries. It's great. I posted that bit on Youtube when I heard he was Mikey as a sample of his potential "Mikey Voice" but it was pulled due to rights issues.

Cipes was funny as hell in Fast and Furious.

As soon as I heard he was cast, I could just hear his voice from the Teen Titans DVD interviews and knew he was perfect for Mikey.

*TurtleTitan97* · 04-09-2012, 07:24 PM

I can say nothing else but that Cipes is the man! Growing up on the Teen Titans, he made Beast Boy one of my childhood heroes. I love his role as Kevin Levin in the Ben 10 series, and as Chiro in Super Robot Monkey Team Hyperforce Go! I can wait to see what he brings to the table as Mikey!

*Cure* · 04-09-2012, 07:35 PM

I don't remember much about Fast and Furious. He played a cowboy apparently? I'll have to chex it again.

I wish he was in Fast Five, instead. That I'd have no problems rewatching.

He wasn't in it much, just a cameo. But he was hilarious.

Just so everyone knows, you can follow him on Twitter @GregCipes.

He talks TMNT pretty frequently, interacts with fans, and gives many meditation tips.

*Raph's Girl* · 04-09-2012, 09:14 PM

He's a singer too.

*BubblyShell22* · 04-10-2012, 07:29 AM

Yeah, I think Greg will do a great job as Mikey.

*Zany Orange Dude* · 04-10-2012, 02:27 PM

Have to agree with BubblyShell, I think Cipes will be the perfect Mikey! How could he not when he practically IS the party dude!

*Jephael* · 04-11-2012, 10:45 AM

I have a feeling his version of Michelangelo will be the best one yet!

*Samhain* · 04-14-2012, 07:50 PM

He made Beast Boy for me. Cipes is awesome!

*Zany Orange Dude* · 04-15-2012, 09:44 AM

He appears to be passionate about the role as well. Hopefully that enthusiasm will reflect in the show.

*BubblyShell22* · 04-15-2012, 11:05 AM

Yeah, I loved Beast Boy in Teen Titans as well. And his enthusiasm is encouraging to say the least.

*TurtleTitan97* · 04-15-2012, 11:13 AM

Beast Boy was the bomb! He was the best Titan on the show! Too bad about the whole Terra thing...

Totally, Cipes is completely embracing his role as Mikey. I'm sure that will come across in the show!

*ToTheNines* · 04-15-2012, 02:57 PM

I'm most excited to hear Hoon Lee and Cipes because those are the two VA's Rob Paulsen is most complimentary of.

*Zany Orange Dude* · 04-15-2012, 03:17 PM

Hoon Lee! Now there's another person I can't wait to hear! You're right, Rob Paulsen does seem to compliment both guys a lot.

*Mr.Turtle* · 05-03-2012, 04:39 PM

i just hope he'd add a lil bit husky effect when doing mikey's voice

cryan · 05-03-2012, 05:46 PM

Yeah,kind of like a layed back version of Kevin Leven from Ben 10 Alien force-Ultimate Alien.
