It’s Dragon Ball Super's Zamasu & Actor on Buffy, Angel, Smallville & More! 🎭 Actor James Marsters!

[@SoulQOriginal]

James is such a genuine guy, and I love that. Especially with him being a fellow Dragon Ball fan! It was a true pleasure meeting and conversing with him at Kameha Con.

[@AnimeAdventures]

Hey there! I agree...he's very genuine. Glad you got to chat with him at Kameha Con.

[@SoulQOriginal]

@@AnimeAdventures Hey Elise! 👋🏾 💚🐉

[@veghesther3204]

Sadly I believe James also played the Piccolo in the CRAPPY Dragon Ball Evolution Live action movie as well.

[@SoulQOriginal]

@@veghesther3204 did you not watch the video?

[@veghesther3204]

No I did but that dragon ball movie is still pure crap.

Even the va of zamasu is also obsessed with goku, this is perfect.

[@karanpanjwani7128]

How great that you got to interview James Marsters. I love what a big Dragon Ball fan he was before booking Evolution or even playing Zamasu in Dragon Ball Super. I have seen him in Smallville and have heard of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Also what an interesting story of him wanting to play a role in Super because he felt guilty for Dragon Ball Evolution.

[@AnimeAdventures]

It was fun interviewing James! I'm with you, I love that he was a DB fan first. It was cool hearing him tell the DB stories and share about working on some other shows.

[@zronimo2020]

I love how he first got into dragonball. He nailed it i think for every Mans Man who first got into dragonball. Nice interview!

[@AnimeAdventures]

Thanks! And yes, what a great story about how he got into Dragon Ball.

[@cameronjr8]

This year is the 15th Anniversary of Dragon Ball Evolution.

[@AnimeAdventures]

Oh really? I didn't realize that.

[@cameronjr8]

@@AnimeAdventures it was released in 2009

[@MrEdwithdreadz]

That movie still haunts me 😅

[@rebellsprout5754]

Spike is iconic. I always consider Spike the Piccolo type character of Buffy. So it’s kind of funny that he got to play Piccolo in the live action movie.

[@marsmeetsearthproductions6279]

James Marsters is such an under utilized actor.

[@AnimeAdventures]

He's very talented!

[@MightyChanceYT]

I've always said that Zamasu was one of my favorite villains, but after hearing that James Marsters was Piccolo in DBE really sold me more respect towards him.

[@agahnim0196]

Wait... WTF..... James Marsters voices Zamasu?!??!?!? I had no idea! I watched Super before it got dubbed... i'm gonna watch it in English right away!

[@NoIdeaShane]

I love that he got to go on Super, both Dragon Ball and Buffy were my two favorite shows growing up, so it’s always amazing to have Spike as my favorite Dragon Ball Super villain.

[@jacewarbeck9684]

Coincidentally was looking for an interview with James Marsters the other day! What a coincidence - loved his work as Zamasu!

[@nicolaspajuelo]

Omg you got to interview Zamasu I was surprise that it was James masters doing the voice since he wanted to do justice from dragon ball evolution, James masters did an amazing job voicing the character and whenever I hear him as zamasu he steals the show this is surprising like how mark hamill did the voice of the joker from Batman TAS

[@AnimeAdventures]

So glad you got to see this interview! I loved hearing the story of how he booked Zamasu!

[@donovanbradford8231]

Super cool been a fan of his sense I was a kid in the 90's and I didn't even realize he was the voice oh Zamasu. Awesome for sure.

[@robertrogers074]

This man is phenomenal.

[@AnimeAdventures]

Agreed!

[@ericstaples7220]

James should not have to apologize for DB Evolution. He was just hired to act in it.

[@leoprince691]

I saw James at a con in Florida. I didnt meet him, but it was cool seeing him there. Also, really cool that he's a Dragon Ball fan. While Dragon Ball Evolution was very bad, he was honestly the best thing about it. And it was really cool to find out that he voiced Zamasu. And of course his work on Buffy is legendary and I heard him on a few other voice over roles. Overall, another great interview.

[@AnimeAdventures]

Thanks for the nice comment about the interview! Yes, I love that he's a DB fan. It was cool hearing him tell stories about DB and some of his other shows.

[@KpopNiDontStop]

Thats a really wild turn of events to be in the live action and then the animation LOL.

[@AnimeAdventures]

Right?! I agree! I loved his stories about DB.

[@chrisman2100]

I always get a smile when I find an actor who plays a lot of villain characters, is genuinely a really nice person! 🙂 Great interview as always!

[@AnimeAdventures]

Yeah, that's always pretty cool. Thanks for the nice comment about the interview!

[@itswrittenallinthestars]

James is aging like fine wine, no wonder when "he is vampire".Also he could play Spike at any age.This is myb out of topic but if i would literally had like 50 years or idk and had the chance.I would date him immediately.He is so sweet, nice, kind, his smile is just so cute,his eyes...ahh, he is very talented, skilled, can play a guitar.. like hear me out, he can sing.Who wouldn´t wanted to date a man like that.I will all my life regret why i wasn´t born in 80-90s (life is so unfair) also i love the times, fashion, how life was like, music, retro, and so on.. literally everything.Sending love and support from Slovakia❤

[@gohanking12]

HE FITS ZAMASU TOO WELL

[@matthewlee4697]

Hey elise thank you as always for another awesome episode of anime adventures!. As a longtime fan of James since i was kid in the 90s the interview was an extra treat for me so I thank you once again elise! 😊❤❤

[@AnimeAdventures]

Hey Matthew! I'm so glad you enjoyed the interviews, especially knowing that you have been a fan of James since you were a kid. How cool!

[@moneyworld7517]

Wait he was playing zamusu this whole time 🤯 I'm surprised but not surprised at how well he plays the character 😂

[@AnimeAdventures]

Yaasss! :)

[@Spenerico]

Really great interview Elise! His performance as Zamasu was incredible and for free too! What a guy

[@revengenerd1]

Met James at a convention about 7 years ago he was great to the fans very friendly complimenting peoples cosplays etc always seemed in a good mood even at the end of day when everyone was tired.

[@darthboti]

His awesome

[@JoshBArtist19]

Wow Awesome!!!

[@AnimeAdventures]

Thanks!!

[@user-lb9xw4xf2q]

He was thoroughly brilliant as Zamasu; became one of the greatest villains of the franchise!

[@mrmeteor64]

I met him that an anime con once seems like a really nice guy.

[@AnimeAdventures]

I'm glad you got to meet him. You're right, he's really nice.

[@padnosc2]

This is a great genuine interview! Thanks for posting this!

[@AjaySensei]

I had no idea that's how James got the role of Zamasu lol. Been a fan of his since Smallville!

[@AnimeAdventures]

How cool that you've been a long-time fan of his! Glad you got to see this interview. :)

[@AjaySensei]

@@AnimeAdventures Thanks for the reply Elise and for being a part of my childhood!

[@keithcole8536]

James/spike needed his own spin off show

[@rockermv10]

That is pretty cool, I didn't know James voiced Zamesu so there is three shows I loved him in! Dragaonball Super, Buffy and Smallville.

[@alexdeghost2729]

One of the things that I love about Dragon Ball’s dub is that the voices are often not typical anime voices. I mean James, from what I can tell, has never done anime before. Mainly just movies.

Elise if only i could show you this picture I took today at the local Publix in Greenville South Carolina.. But we actually sell Dragon Ball Z cereal... I bought the one with Majin Buu and Cell cereal shapes 😍 Incredible

[@AnimeAdventures]

Oh wow! I've heard of the cereal, but have only seen one of them in pictures.

[@markeyiszra]

This is a great interview,if he can redeem from Dragonball Evolution and landed into one of the best character in Dragon Ball Franchise, hopefully so does Justin Chatwin. Also hopefully you can interview to the new recent young Pan VA. I wanna see Two Pan in one interview.

[@Mombierella]

Oh my goodness 😍 Spike was my absolute favorite from the Buffy series.

[@Neo-R.]

And he accepted to talk to a single ningen?😁😁

[@theirishman759]

James also seems to be able to switch bodies with someone known as David Gray lol. He really is Zamasu.

[@_SYDGAMING_]

NGL I'd love if they did a reunion of Buffy in a movie

[@Epic3032]

Is it me or does James look like a young Billy Idol? lol

[@GabeNwagbala]

Way to go Elise! James is going to be in Dragon ball Sparking Zero! Keep up the good work.

[@heshamvoiceovers3397]

I was today years old when i found out Spike was zamasu :D thats awesome

[@linneagustavsson5111]

He´s a gem

[@Hidesinmud]

I know the voice actor of Zamasu was someone cool

[@joshuadesousa6668]

Zamasu/Goku Black was the best saga/arc of Super for certain!

[@kendalberry9058]

Elise, Did you know, He played Piccolo in Dragon Ball Evolution

[@AnimeAdventures]

I did! We talk about it in the video. Let me know what you think about his comments about DB Evolution once you get a chance to watch the video! :)

well, wonderful do richard ian cox (goku) & lee tockar (frieza) interviewing the dragon ball kai ocean dub too

[@moshindig222]

Braniac 4 life!

[@JonesDylan874]

Evolution may have sucked... but James Marsters rocked it as Piccolo, and he rocks it as Zamasu in DBS.

[@AnimeAdventures]

He's awesome!

[@vgatwgaming]

James Marsters played as Piccolo in that Dragonball Evolution movie which I see as an abomination of a movie. But I liked him as Zamasu. R.I.P Akira Toriyama.

[@AnimeAdventures]

Did you see the part of this video where he talks about DB Evolution? You'll find it interesting. Yes, RIP Akira Toriyama.

[@betterpodcastlive]

James Marsters' portrayal of Zamasu's voice in Dragon Ball Super is truly captivating. Thank you for hosting such an insightful interview-this is a significant moment for Dragon Ball fans. It was a privilege hosting him on my podcast. His insights are a true inspiration for becoming better and achieving personal growth. Don’t miss this episode! !kzbin.info5nVYgBKncG8

Holy crap Spike from buffy voiced zamasu and was in the god awful evolution movie 😂 honestly that's quite a milestone

[@rurouni_xyz]

pan literally teaching the next generation, wow

[@EldricBeRapping]

Does she still voice Pan in Super?

[@StevenWWade]

She didn't unfortunately. She did voiced Pan for DBZ Kai.

[@AnimeAdventures]

@StevenWWade is right. I still voice Pan in all the video games. :)

[@jivenji17]

Same like vegeta James is an anti-hero hero in Buffy

[@GamerLightWarrior456]

Goku Black/Zamasu is IMO the best villain in DBS.

[@Victory-in-YAHUSHA]

I happen to concur. With Moro coming in second for me.

[@biggezee]

Vegeta may act like an overgrown boy, but he's still a better father and husband than Goku.

[@PizzaTime1983]

He did for free!!! Wtf!!!

[@PizzaTime1983]

OMG!!! Elise Baughman/Pan herself liked and favorited my comment!!! That made my day today!!! No lie!!!😁

[@mullet_ps4152]

Dragon ball GT does not deserve the hate it gets I wish before Toriyama passed he made it like marvel with the multiverse or even Xenoverse. My point being that the live action does deserves it no question sorry lol. But Zamusa is one of my favorite villain's so I thank him him for his work. Alright that's my nerd opinion of the day. Had to add that when Pan returns in super older. They better not pick someone else for the Voice!! Please return if you can!!

[@jirenthegray]

Honestly his portrayal of Piccolo in Evolution was the ONLY good thing in the movie!!

[@classicsagat]

Okay, age old debate. Dub or sub? In this case it pertains to Goku's character, cause Subbed Goku is definitely a chaos starter LOL y'all know what I mean

[@xoopnil]

One of the Most terrifying villain who ruined trunks future zamasu

[@xXManhalXx]

With all respect to James, i don’t find his zamasu voice the absolute best, compared to the JP at least However his Fused zamasu voice is much better Great interview

[@sevisavory]

Still a good dub tho

Glad you enjoyed the interview! Thank you!

The James Marsters. That was so nice of him, but regarless he should get paid , lol. It was not your fault for that disgrace of a movie. Your part as Picollo was nice enough, again, not your fault

[@FirstnameLastname-vl9nn]

He was the only good thing about the Dragonball Evolution movie. I thought he was a good Piccolo.
