The voice of a(nerd) generation

*edit* There is a spoiler at the end of the post, if you haven’t seen Bebop. Steve Blum is most famously known for his role as Spike Spiegel in the Cowboy Bebop series, as well as the stand alone movie. This is probably my favorite character of all time.

Blum also played Mugen. When asked about this voice he said that he was working with a lot of the same people from Bebop and they wanted him to use the same voice. Worried that he’d be disingenuous to Spike’s fans, he worked hard to make Mugen different enough that the two had their own identities despite the similar tone.

Roger Smith, from the big-o.

Chances are if you heard Wolverines voice in the early to late 2000’s you heard Steve Blums voice.

If you picked up a controlled in the last three generations of consoles you’ve probably heard the voice of Sun Jian from Dynasty warriors. This was also a role performed by Steve Blum.

Star Wars: Rebels. If you’re like me and have enjoyed this character Zeb Orrelios. I am constantly impressed by his ability to bring characters to life, and this is no exception.

Steve Blum *left* had the sound bite tattood to his arm from the last episode of Cowboy Bebop. It is simply Spikes last word, “Bang”.

Steve Blums characters list in the hundreds now, and if you’re a fan of anything nerd related you may be unknowingly a fan of his. I just thought he deserved recognition from all the people he’s helped bring happiness to. See ya space cowboy.
