I came here because I saw the news last month that the voice of Cyclops, Norm Spencer, had passed away. I wish I had gotten to meet everyone and got their autographs.
Aw no......cyc was actually my fav back in 92 in preschool. Untill I found wolverine but cyc and the eye beams were my fav at first...wow that really hurts. Rest in peace man.
X-Men was everything to me when I was a kid. I was the quiet artistic kid who always got beat up for no reason. So it was good for me to see characters that were different, but strong.
My father was a biker man Lone Wolf type of guy. So of course Wolverine was my favorite when I saw that cartoon. Wolverine probably had some of the best ethics of all the characters. Even took it upon himself to be a father figure for Jubilee. And when it was time to get down his aggression was unmatched and his will was unmatched. Really reminded me of my dad especially the temper. Cals iconic perfect voice was like a cherry on top
"I loved the Nightcrawler episode". I too have had fans of the show tell me about feeling connected to the show in their childhood. It was my first animated audition, and my first animated gig.
Wow! He gave the best interview of the whole panel. And one of the best of all these Hollywood interviews. Thx U Cal for giving us a taste of the characters voice as well.
A bit of irony here: The first animated Wolverine voice was just before the animated series with the failed pilot Pryde Of the X-Men in which Wolverine had an Australian accent. The arcade game was based off it as well. As fate would have it, Hugh Jackman is Australian learning how to sound American. Pryde Of the X-Men pilot: ua-cam.com/video/E21a-0mywUc/v-deo.html
Even *before* Pryde of the X-Men, Wolvie made his first voiced appearance in Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends (“A Firestar Was Born”), and he *also* had an Australian accent.
Even years after watching the original animated TV show and seeing all the movies Wolverine was in as well as playing newer video games and watching new TV shows where Steve Blum has been voicing Wolverine for almost 2 decades, I'm still used to Cal's voice as Wolverine, because I still play Capcom's old Marvel games more than I ever see or play any other form of Marvel media.
Can we PLEASE get this guy to come back for just one more Wolvie role? He's coughing so much here its scaring me. Time is limited. Steve Blum is always gonna be Spike to me and no one else. Gotta get one more proper animated Wolverine cameo.
@@maxpops8427 oh cool. Hope they don't screw it up though. Animation needs to still have that era's style and the soundtrack can't be drastically different either. Lot of good background music in that show. I just don't have much faith in Disney lately.
Just to correct Cal, he's not the first Wolverine,... the first that I saw was on Spider-Man & his Amazing Friends, then in 1989 X-Men (only one pilot episode). Yet, to me Cal was the best! And Steve Blum (somebody correct me if I got the last name wrong). The Nightcrawler episode, was great! Along with, The Spider-Man crossover, One man's worth, Beyond Good and Evil! Also let's not forget Bishop, Cable, Quick Silver, Arch Angel, Iceman, Forge, Psylock, Shard, who were guess characters,...sorry, for Evolution fans, but the old school show,...it just had a bit more punch! Also hats off, for Norm Spencer, ... he was, and always will be Scott Summers for me!
There was a Wolverine voice with the Pryde of The X-Men series. That series was not fully released and took 1-2 years before X-Men the animated series was released. The group, villains, voice actors are different. It had to do with the investors and all the shady stuff in the industries or how things actually are done. There was legal stuff that the management did not want to deal with. The fans, children and audience suffered. Just like the X-Men TV movie. Street Fighter the Animated series. Akumas voice also changed.
George Buza knew about The X-Men and was completely aware of the character Hank Mccoy a.k.a Beast lol He even said that he grew up during the time of the first X-Men Comic Book came out.
Hugh Jackman is a famous movie star Logan, Wolverine and X-men movies, Les Miserable and the Greatest Showman Voice actors Cal Dodd Steve Blum Scott McNeil
Funny how I fell in love with the X-Men from people who didn't even know the who the X-Men were. Ironically and technically Wolverine was first voiced by an Australian in the "Pryde of the X-Men" pilot cartoon.
I sent him some fan mail back in February, I hope I get a response from him soon! Update on my 8 month old comment: I haven’t heard a reply through paper/pen mail, but, I was able to find his email address via his website and sent him a copy of the letter and picture through there and I was fortunate enough to get a reply from him!
There was a voice for Wolverine before him in another X-Men series that pre-dates TAS. They had some Australian guy voice the character. But Cal Dodd overshadows Hugh's vocals as Jimmy/Logan.
No. I was there, Gandalf, 3000 years ago. Wolverine was already plenty popular in the 80's. His self-titled comics run by Claremont and Frank Miller came out a decade before the Animated Series. Cal is the definitive voice, for sure, but he's far from being the only reason for Wolverine's popularity.
What I really wish is Cal Dodd redo the lines in Pryde of the X-men so we don't have have to hear the Aussie Wolverine. Just him cause That was near perfect except Wolverine with an Australian accent.
They should have been using Cal Dodd for Wolverine's voice all the time. Love Steve Blum, but every time I hear him as Wolverine I think of Spike Spiegel. They should've had Cal do Wolverine's voice for the new Wolverine game by Insomniac Games. The voice actor for that in development project sounds too young, and not gruff enough.
6:43 Ah Nightcrawler. That was one of My most favorite episodes too! Its truly heart-warming to see logan aka wolverine, kneeling in front of the altar reading a verse from Scripture taken fm Isaiah 12:1-2. I will give thanks to You Oh Lord for though You were angry at me Your anger turned away And You comforted me I will trust and not be afraid
He is to Wolverine, what Kevin Conroy is to Batman.
Perfect Analogy.
Good comparison
You are so right!!
I Agree!
Okay but Steve Blum has taken over 😭😭😭 that’s my wolverine
This was the definitive Logan voice.
#OnGod
Yeah alongside Scott Mcneil
Hell yeah. Wolverine was my top favorite character. Jean Grey was my second favorite as well as Storm being a close third. Amazing series.
Dub Jackmans Logan with Cals voice. Gotta be some edit out there for it
150%.....XPLODE.....BESERKER BARRAGE
“Do you wanna be in x men?”
“Who the hell are the xmen?”
Is probably the most wolverine thing he could’ve said
Cal is to Wolverine what Peter Cullen is to Optimus Prime and Kevin Conroy to Batman.
They are iconic.
And mark to the joker
What is Hugh Jackman then?
As Frank Welker is to Megatron
As David Kaye is to Megatron(BW).
And fred to hulk
CAL is the voice of Wolverine. PERIOD!
Cathal J. Dodd is to Wolverine what Kevin Conroy and Mark Hamill are to Batman and The Joker.
Don't forget Christopher D. Barns as Spider-Man!
That’s what I liked about the 90s from marvel and dc.
@@Guacamolian He'd have been a good live action Spider-Man.
@@Guacamolian he’s got the emotional aspect for sure
Also; he voiced Captain America in the 2D Capcom fighting games.
I came here because I saw the news last month that the voice of Cyclops, Norm Spencer, had passed away. I wish I had gotten to meet everyone and got their autographs.
Aw no......cyc was actually my fav back in 92 in preschool. Untill I found wolverine but cyc and the eye beams were my fav at first...wow that really hurts. Rest in peace man.
Cal Dodd's iconic Wolverine makes any 90's kid like me proud. Until today, i still watch Xmen and classic cartoons
He’s so damn good as Wolverine!
Cal Dodd is brilliant as Wolverine
We literally grow up with his rendition of wolverine. Even in the fighting games.
Lets go bub!
Berserker barrage!
As much as I love Steve Blum, he doesn't hold a candle to Cal. He's iconic.
I was able to meet Mr. Dodd today, very nice man and I was blessed enough to get his autograph for a friend who is a very big fan of Wolverine.
Their voices, or Steven J. Blum (who's voiced 'im for the last decade and a half since X-Men Legends). :-b But yeah, Cal's still my fave Wolvy voice.
This is the only guy who I wouldn't let even Steve blum replace
Glad he's making a comeback on the 90's version of x-men
That moment when you and the voice of Wolverine have the same favorite episode
I'll never forget the line he did, "...got bit by a dog too." And the iconic "Jean!"
Such a great interview and Cal is the definitive voice of Wolverine :)
X-Men was everything to me when I was a kid. I was the quiet artistic kid who always got beat up for no reason. So it was good for me to see characters that were different, but strong.
His voice was the one I would emulate whenever I would read aloud Wolverine’s dialogue in the X-Men comics.
My father was a biker man Lone Wolf type of guy. So of course Wolverine was my favorite when I saw that cartoon. Wolverine probably had some of the best ethics of all the characters. Even took it upon himself to be a father figure for Jubilee. And when it was time to get down his aggression was unmatched and his will was unmatched. Really reminded me of my dad especially the temper. Cals iconic perfect voice was like a cherry on top
It was also awesome hearing voice Logan again as well as Capt. America & US Agent in the Marvel/Capcom games
Awesome interview, it was great to finally see the man behind an iconic character from my childhood.
Badass, i love the episode where Wolverine read the bible.
This wolverine is the best wolverine. In my opinion this man is a legend for bringing wolverine to life
This the only Wolverine voice i acknowledge
"I loved the Nightcrawler episode". I too have had fans of the show tell me about feeling connected to the show in their childhood. It was my first animated audition, and my first animated gig.
It's so cool that he's coming back to voice Wolverine in X-Men 97
100% So glad they brought him back
@@TheNerdLys Me too
Wow the man the Myth. Awesome interview! I too was a big fan of the show and Cal sub consciously defined Wolverine for me for ever. Thx guys.
Me too whenever I read a comic Wolverine is in.
The nightcrawler episode was absolutely my favorite. Hands down one of the best animated episodes ever
Beyond happy to see the series continue with him as wolverine again!!
Every time I read a comic, it’s Dodd’s voice I hear whenever I read Wolverine’s dialogue.

Underrated comment!
Wow I knew about the Pryde Of the X-Men but I never saw it and didn't know he sounded Australian
I love so much that one of his favorite episodes is one of mine, the Nightcrawler episode.
X-cellent times hold great memories. Cal Dodd is classic for this role.
x-men 97 is bringing him back!!
Super excited about that!
holy 💩. The guy that voiced Wolverine was an actual Canadian.🤯
I was thinking that. And wolverine in the pilot episode originally had an australian accent. Like wtf lol
Fun fact: Most of the cast from the series were Canadian.
@@jhsrt985 no that was Kitty Pryde and Friends or w.e it was.
Even years after watching the original animated TV show and seeing all the movies Wolverine was in as well as playing newer video games and watching new TV shows where Steve Blum has been voicing Wolverine for almost 2 decades, I'm still used to Cal's voice as Wolverine, because I still play Capcom's old Marvel games more than I ever see or play any other form of Marvel media.
It was so awesome that he even got to be Wolverine in all the Marvel VS Capcom games until 3!
he also voiced captain america
Lets go bubb
The best and most amazing Wolverine every hands down!
My fav episodes were when wolverine got his metal claws and night of the sentinels and the future where hes got grey n white hair n still rockin
Can we PLEASE get this guy to come back for just one more Wolvie role? He's coughing so much here its scaring me. Time is limited. Steve Blum is always gonna be Spike to me and no one else. Gotta get one more proper animated Wolverine cameo.
Agree, 1000% this literally is the ONLY guy Steve is second to
Congratulations you’re getting your wish
@@maxpops8427 oh is he signed on again?
@@messiahmozgus better. Cal Dodd along with Buza, Court, Potter and many ov the OG voice cast are reprising there roles in a Revival
@@maxpops8427 oh cool. Hope they don't screw it up though. Animation needs to still have that era's style and the soundtrack can't be drastically different either. Lot of good background music in that show. I just don't have much faith in Disney lately.

Best interview on youtube 😇
& yes i wouldnt be able to make it thru my childhood without my man Cal & as a 27yo still 😎
THANK YOU CAL :-)

Street Fighter the Animated series. Akumas voice also changed.
Cal Dodd could read the dictionary out loud in his Wolverine voice, and I would enjoy listening to him.
He is also the voice of Slappy in the original Goosebumps TV series
George Buza knew about
The X-Men and was completely
aware of the character
Hank Mccoy a.k.a Beast lol
He even said that he grew up during the time of the first X-Men Comic Book came out.
Back then Wolverine is everybody's favorite and then they'll find a new favorite comic book character.
Hugh Jackman is a famous movie star
Logan, Wolverine and X-men movies, Les Miserable and the Greatest Showman
Voice actors
Cal Dodd
Steve Blum
Scott McNeil
Great Interview Chris! Nailed this one. (from you favorite JC)
Thank you!
Cal Dodd will always be my favorite Voice.
He should be the voice for Insomniac's game.
Nah Steve Blum
@@creamsilver2513 Steve Blum will always be Spike to me.
Totally!! Marvels vs Capcom Voice still echoes in my head when I think of Wolverine slashing his enemies.
Steve Blum also does a good job, he's been voicing the character for almost 20 years now.
Funny how I fell in love with the X-Men from people who didn't even know the who the X-Men were. Ironically and technically Wolverine was first voiced by an Australian in the "Pryde of the X-Men" pilot cartoon.
we dont talk about that
man...so cool to see these people. New figures are awesome. Cartoon is playing now and it's pretty cool. falling in love again with all of them.
I'd Love to Have One of those X-Men Themed Jackets!
Me too.
Cal Dodd Is The Best Wolverine Ever!
DRILLCLAW
@17:14 "i'm got the new ones,... new ones, I mean the old ones on dvd" Cal Dodd already knew about X-men97
I'm 34 and I still watch the xmen searis the three best comic book series are the 1990s batman xmen and spiderman 🕷
Wolverine is my favorite mutant from X-men.
hard to believe this guy voiced one of my childhood super heroes, but also one of my childhood traumas
The X-Men Aminated show from the 90s brought back my love of comics and Superheros.
It's my #1favorite series
The Avengers is 2nd
I sent him some fan mail back in February, I hope I get a response from him soon!
Update on my 8 month old comment: I haven’t heard a reply through paper/pen mail, but, I was able to find his email address via his website and sent him a copy of the letter and picture through there and I was fortunate enough to get a reply from him!
Great stories and a great storyteller! The guys seems awesome.
Not to mention, what Lenore Zann is to Rogue.
I'm still sad that we didn't get a chance to interview her that day.
There was a voice for Wolverine before him in another X-Men series that pre-dates TAS. They had some Australian guy voice the character. But Cal Dodd overshadows Hugh's vocals as Jimmy/Logan.
Wolverine was nowhere near as popular before Fox kids and Cal Dodd. They are the reason Wolverine got so many retcons.
This is true!
No. I was there, Gandalf, 3000 years ago. Wolverine was already plenty popular in the 80's. His self-titled comics run by Claremont and Frank Miller came out a decade before the Animated Series. Cal is the definitive voice, for sure, but he's far from being the only reason for Wolverine's popularity.
All that coughing hits different on 2020
HE'S COMING BACK!!! SEASON 6 COMING TO DISNEY+ IN 2023
What I really wish is Cal Dodd redo the lines in Pryde of the X-men so we don't have have to hear the Aussie Wolverine. Just him cause That was near perfect except Wolverine with an Australian accent.
I could and will never forget my real heros
Now we have X-Men 97 to look forward too.
Keep on keeping on.
It's funny because in real life he sounds like Banshee.
Imagine if Insomniac brings him back to voice Wolverine in the upcoming solo game!
Xmen 90s series is the best version of the X-Men.
I'd say this man is a terrific lover.
What an amazing and nice man
Awesome.😁
Definitive Wolverine voice
Cal Dodd is the best
"JEAN"!!!!!!!!
The Bub Overlord
Cal and Steve Blum are tied for the Wolverine voice that I hear when I read the comics.
This one's for you Morph!
Steve and Scott, great, but Cal started it all!
I hope they are re-cast in the upcoming X-Men '97
They should have been using Cal Dodd for Wolverine's voice all the time. Love Steve Blum, but every time I hear him as Wolverine I think of Spike Spiegel. They should've had Cal do Wolverine's voice for the new Wolverine game by Insomniac Games. The voice actor for that in development project sounds too young, and not gruff enough.
Let’s Go Gumbo!!!!!
Awesome
I met him in Connecticut at Mohegan Sun
6:43
Ah Nightcrawler.
That was one of My most favorite episodes too! Its truly heart-warming to see logan aka wolverine, kneeling in front of the altar reading a verse from Scripture taken fm Isaiah 12:1-2.
I will give thanks to You Oh Lord
for though You were angry at me
Your anger turned away
And You comforted me
I will trust and not be afraid
Final Justice!
Just like BTAS it still holds up.
He also did the voice for the character in the capcom vs. Series.
Cal Dod & Spiderman's friend 😊
