1. Does your voice ever get sore having to do that gravelly voice
over and over again for each episode?
Yes, all the time. But usually by next day I’m fine. Hot tea helps a lot.
2. Do you think the animators do justice to how you envision Ozu moving as you're acting?
They do a good job. Being an animator myself. I may have done something differently, but everyone does a really good job.
3. Has Ozu really been old all his life?
As far as I know, he’s always been old.
4. Got any advice for young people who are thinking of going into voice acting?
I really wish I did. I sort of stumbled into the job. I was lucky
enough to be in the right place at the right time. 
5. If you couldn’t voice Ozu for whatever reason, whom would you like to voice?
I think George Takai would be awesome.
6. Outside of work, are you a fan of anime? If so, what do you like?
I am. I’m a big fan of FLCL (Fooly Cooly) & Fullmetal Alchemist.
7. Will we ever see anyone from a nation other than the U.S.A. or Japan? If so, will they be done in a different art style?
It’s an idea that’s been mentioned from time to time.
8. Will we ever get to see a full LilyMu episode? All we ever see is the exciting finale. You can call the episode "LiliMu" and air it as a TV special.
I’m not sure, but it’s an interesting idea.
9. What is the best episode you have voiced for on Kappa Mikey so far? Where do you see Ozu’s future on the show going?
I think the Christmas episode has been my favorite so far. I’m not sure where Ozu’s going but he’ll be yelling at someone for some reason.
10. Now that Guano has been found out to be Ozu's son, will we be seeing the "Guano beneath the suit" on screen and how will this revelation (Guano being Ozu's son) affect the group dynamics on the set of LilyMu?
As far as I know there aren’t any, but again you never know.
11. What has been your favorite project or voice over besides Kappa Mikey?
As far as voice over goes I really like Leader Dog. I did the voices of Leuche and King Anton. As far as other projects go I’m rather proud of Ellen’s Acres, which I directed.
12. What did you think of the new developments in your characters past and future that was explained in A Christmas Mikey?
I knew about the big secret for quite awhile, so it’s great that it’s finally out.
