I’m amazed by his humility. This dude is a very well accomplished voice actor and he looks back on his career with only admiration for those that inspired him.

I’m not gonna lie when i first saw space jam i had a had a hard time getting used to him as Bugs or Dee Bradley Baker as Daffy since i am so attached to these characters and Mel Blanc, But i respect the fact that they tried their hardest to not only honor the characters bye studying and paying tribute to Mel Blanc’s performance, but also adding thier own flare to it as to not have to characters become stale. If anybody had to be cast to carry on the legacy of these characters that i’m glad it was them, they have my absolute respect. btw can you guys get Tony Anselmo the voice of Donald Duck on one of these videos, i would love that!

Billy West never fails to make me smile until my cheeks hurt. He contributed so much to my childhood, and he’s honestly one of my heroes. I also love that he has all the figurines of his characters, it’s so sweet.
