Not every voice actor needs to be a Billy West, and that's not a bad thing. There are voice actors who make their living by coming up with a new and distinct voice for every character they play, and there are some who have a great normal voice and are cast for roles they fit.

Steve Blum does have some range, though. He played Grunt in Mass Effect, after all. I think you only say that because the only times you recognize him are when he's using his normal voice, while you miss all the roles where he's doing something different.

Oh I know he has range and that he's a good voice actor. My statement was in response to the 'why doesn't he get more prominent work' question and I think that he has typecast (voicecast?!?) himself.

Edit:
I'm not knocking him for Amon. I think he did a great job in the role and his voice was just different enough to not be a Spike re-cast.

Hahaha .

evilgoodwin · 07-12-2012, 12:31 PM

Woot!

26 more episodes BEYOND the next 13!

Ink Asylum · 07-12-2012, 12:34 PM

Whoa! Awesome news!

Edit: 52 episodes. That's only 9 episodes less than there were in The Last Airbender.

Xerxes · 07-12-2012, 12:41 PM

Yup.... That's news.

Ink Asylum · 07-12-2012, 12:43 PM

I hope they get her out of Republic city for a little while. Also give us some really fun one-shot episodes. I've been rewatching the original series and some of my favorites are the ones that are just pure hilarity, like The Headband (Wang Fire), and The Ember Island Players (HONOOOOOR!).

Shieldmaiden · 07-12-2012, 01:10 PM

That is fantastic news.

Ink Asylum · 07-12-2012, 01:12 PM

Korra now has 39 episodes to dump Mako and get with Bolin. Make it happen!

Mashidar · 07-12-2012, 09:17 PM

Well they said they have enough material to fill this all out, odds are that they pitched them with what is to come and they said...hey we like money so sure!

They've put every episode up to watch for free on the Nickelodeon website the same day it's on tv.

You know I honestly pay little to no attention to online streaming unless it's something I don't have access to, I'll keep that in mind though.

Ink Asylum · 07-13-2012, 08:14 AM

I watched a few of the episodes on their site when my girlfriend and I were at my apartment, which doesn't have cable service. It works great, and has less commercials than on TV.
