Having
grown up in San Jose California, Neil Kaplan was always known as
the guy who did "funny voices". His first job was in 1988
impersonating Ronald Regan, Richard Nixon, and Dan Rather on a little
parody recording called "the Great Debate of 88." He has since
been doing cartoon and video game wok on a more regular basis since
1995.
Mostly known for his work in DIGIMON: Digital Monsters, as Hawkmon and his various forms, Neil also voiced the evil Diaboloco on Power Rangers: Lightspeed Rescue. His favorite role was the "utility guy" on a show called The Mouse and the Monster, aired on UPN back in 1996/1997. He played stomachs, ghosts, and Sappy the Clown among dozens of other characters. He played a variety of characters in every show, so every week was different showing his wide range. Neil
more recently played the lead on the new Transformers: Robots In Disguise
television show, that being the heroic Optimus Prime. As the lead in
a show popular with young and old viewers alike for one of Hasbro Inc.
most successful properties, Neil came through and was met with nothing
but praise. |
