Norio Wakamoto is a very philosophical man =). The people he plays are usually villains and when you see him offset and not voicing he is a real intelligent and just seems real down to earth. He has definitely been doing voice work for a long just like others such as hikaru midorikawa, ryotaro okiayu, and many others. It really shows on him. That is why he is definitely one of my top 5 favorites as for the male voice actors in jpn =). I enjoyed this interview thank you for posting =)
TV Tropes lists him as a "Mean Character Nice Actor". After the earthquake and tsunami 2 years ago, he personally went to Ground Zero there to help with the rescue efforts.
OMG!!!!! Wakamoto is amazing!!!!......he's Bison in Street Fighter, Igniz in KOF 2001, Rugal in KOF 2002, Cell in Dragon Ball z, Alexander Anderson in Hellsing, Nene in Blue Dragon, and Xemnas in Kibgdom Hearts 2........
When he looked at the camera and said that even young people can understand what Justice is, it felt like he was PERSONALLY SPEAKING TO ME. He...he's calling out to me...
This guy sounds like a real Badass Yakuza boss or a real villain when he's voice acting! Love his voice acting!!! But when he talk normal he is a real nice guy :D
I usually picture Wakamoto standing on some kind of epic mountain top with an epic background preferable with lightning bolts and raining fire) atop a majestically terrifying horse in some type of high-ranking military uniform. Never would've pictured a skinny middle-aged man with glasses.... But hey.... I'm not complaining as long as he keeps doing voices! XP
im german and i love his voice by hellsing ultimate as alexander adnerson..ich bin deutscher und ich liebe seine stimme bei hellsing ultimate als alexander anderson XD i love him
Even his eyebrows overflow with manliness.

When Mr Wakamoto speaks, people tend to listen.

Morgan Freeman is the american version of Wakamoto Norio.
OMG!!! I LOVE this man's voice with a passion! Learning japanese, and when I perfect it, I'm oing to try to talk like this.. hahaha
I have to wonder how godly the three people Wakamoto considered 'master' were...
Norio Wakamoto = Oskar von Reuenthal in LOGH (1988)
how come i like this voice actor .....
I like that he's really down to earth - that's really unexpected! I mean, he is without a doubt one (if not the) most famous Seiyuu.
If anyone does not love Norio Wakamoto, may he be accused, O Wakamoto-sama come, A~MEN!
@ANDl23W You just made Wakamoto out as a cross between Odin and Zeus.... That's brilliant!!
He would be an amazing dormammu
Finally I get to see the face behind all those ridiculous characters.
Norio Wakamoto is THE Chuck Norris of Anime.
Onsokomaru. Let's not forget that brilliant performance.
"A street where people are constantly fighting"
.... HE KNEW he'd be in street fighter! HIs voice lets him see the future!
I wish I were a bird.

Alucard is voiced by Nakata Jouji not Wakamoto. Wakamoto voices Alucard's rival, Anderson.
