Another great highlight from BotCon 2010 was meeting voice actor Paul Eiding, who is best known as Perceptor from the Transformers cartoon series. Paul also mentioned at his Q&A that this was the first convention of any kind he has ever attended as a celebrity guest because he thought nobody cared about Perceptor. When auditioning for the role of Perceptor he thought of a C3PO like character and didn’t know if the creators were originally looking for a british accent or not. During his Q&A he mentioned a few of his most memorable characters (besides Perceptor) included; Smurfs, Toxic Crusaders, Ben 10, and a variety of voices he did for Pixar. When asked “How do you get paid as a voice actor?” Paul replied “You beg.” Paul was highly entertaining, in the photo below he stood on the rung of his stool so he could be closer to my height. Great guy.
