amazing to see he did the robot research - no wonder his movements during his stand up were so spot-on with the repeating mechanics of his torso. He knew how you could do slight human movement but then ground it in robotic movement. His face never strayed from his body acting. It's truly a step-up in acting like from what Robert Shields did in the 70s. Then I guess urban dance and Aristotle robot on SNL in the 2000s. :-D amazing

Yeah so good!

Fantastic interview, very familiar with David as Zed obviously, amazing to learn of all his other work!!

[@onaretrotip]

Thank you!

[@Greg-lo1tl]

Thanks for sharing this. First time I've seen David's own persona and heard his story. I've done a little voice work here and there and had my own radio show for a little while. It's an industry I probably should have pushed harder to get into and didn't, sadly.

[@onaretrotip]

Thanks for watching! :)

[@ginogarcia8730]

after watching the Mr Zed thing, I hoped he had kept going and it's beautiful to see he was still thriving in Italy - that's amazing. Reminds me of when the Western movie stars went to Italy for productions.

[@onaretrotip]

Yeah, seems like he has had a far reaching career over there.

[@douglashudson4706]

Mister Zed was in DotT! Wow!

[@davidretrogamesplayedbadly3533]

Another great interview mate, what an interesting and varied career.

[@onaretrotip]

Thanks, David. Yeah, he's certainly had an interesting journey.

[@RMJ1984]

Whaaaaaat. Ive been playing this game since it came out, never know it was the guy behind Mr Zed!.

[@onaretrotip]

Me neither until researching this!

[@NNokia-jz6jb]

Great game. Best LucasArts game maybe.

[@onaretrotip]

It's certainly up there!

[@frilansspion]

Sounds like this dudes been in the real trenches of voice work....dubbing, german porn, religious propaganda...whoa. =) You certainly tried your best to get back to the subject! But the off-topic talk was also interesting. Yeah...AI sucks...I hate that so many are getting on board and "creating" art and stuff with it without question. It devalues everything

[@onaretrotip]

Agreed. I absolutely hate this AI art craze.

[@NNokia-jz6jb]

You forgot the IMDB url in the comments.

[@onaretrotip]
