Hi, again, Greg! Don't know if you've been asked this before so if you have, forgive me and tell me to go away... What do you like (and dislike) most about the character of Iroh? I absolutely love him as the wizened elder of the show and there's just a tenacity and gravitas about him that speaks to a deep wisdom. At the same time, he's incredibly affectionate and funny. I'm going to stop rambling now...

You aren't rambling. Hm. He did say that he was fond of Iroh's having perspective, because I asked almost the same thing. Haha. But I did not ask him what he disliked about him.

Greg, when you voice act for Avatar, are you alone or do you record with other actors? If you record with others, who do you like recording with most?

Mr.Baldwin, why doesn't Iroh speak in the episodes we've seen so far? Is it because you weren't cast when those episodes were being produced?

Mr. Baldwin, how many licks does it take to get to the Tootsie Roll center of a Tootsie Pop?

1. What do I like about Iroh? His sense of perspective and his sense of humor.
2. What do I dislike about Iroh? What's to dislike? But if it were me...I would have slapped Zuko around a few times.
3. I don't think I've ever recorded alone. By the same token...I've never recorded with the entire cast. They're all amazingly talented individuals and...as a relative newcomer to the voice acting world...I've already learned alot from each of them.
4. Three.

Oops. Missed one. Why hasn't Iroh spoken? I honestly don't know if that was a result of Mako's passing or it had been intended by the writing staff all along.

Hi, Greg!
How do you feel about doing the voice for Iroh? Do you feel any pressure (after all, some characters have been ruined when they get a new voice actor...)?

Pressure? Absolutely...
I have to:
1 Please the producers, creators & cast of the show who've worked so hard for the continued success of "Avatar."
2. Honor the memory of Mako...a man whom I've admired for thirty years.
3. Make sure the fans aren't too jolted by Iroh's new voice.
Pressure? Absolutely.
But it's a good kind of pressure.
And now...I'm off to dinner with my mother-in-law and my family.
I'll check in tomorrow.
This is fun!

First things first, I just want to thank you Greg for being here on this forum and answering all of our questions. Here's hoping we don't scare you off Anyhoo I know that Sifu Kisu teaches martial arts to the animators to help them understand the martial arts that the bending displines are based off of. My question is did Sifu Kisu teach you or any of the other VAs any martial arts to help get a better understanding of your role?

Yeah, I don't really think there's anything to dislike about Iroh either...he's made of awesome! And I agree, I thought Zuko should have gotten smacked down Iroh-syle....glad you agree, Greg!

I have a random curiousity, do your kids watch Avatar? As I understand it they are older, but then so am I.
Have any grandkids, or not that old yet?
What is the best kind of video game?
Ok, so only the first two are very serious, but heh, maybe we can settle the debate for all time.
