I very recently had a chance to chat with him about him, his work and some of his biggest roles he has voiced.While this interview week is still ongoing this is my last interview I’m posting as part of the week. I’m honoured for it to be Michael. He gave a great interview that was both fun and extremely interesting. So,stay awhile and listen, readers. Enjoy.
