My first character highlight! It's a recurring feature in which I select a character and talk about the reasons why I selected those people to play that character.
Mr. 2 is one of the characters I feel the most enthusiastic about casting.
My very first choice would be,well,it's kinda tough. It'd be draw between
Tom Kane and Sean Schemmel. Why? I shall explain…
For all you Powerpuff Girls fans out there, Tom Kane was the voice of the cross-dressing demon known as "Him". With that feminine voice,I knew I just HAD to cast Tom as Mr. 2! On a side-note,it'd definitely be best if Tom used the exact same voice he used as "Him",and remove the echoey effect that was applied to it.
And for anyone who's seen Yu-Gi-Oh! GX,Sean did the voice of the flamboyant,
cross-dressing and effeminite-voiced Professor Crowler. Another top candidate for the voice of Mr. 2!
Now for my other choices...
Eric Stuart,IMO would be a good choice for Mr. 2. Eric was the voice of James from Pokemon. I've heard some people say that James from Pokemon sounds gay.
Gay,huh? Well,that'd be perfect for Mr. 2!
Some of you may remember Ted Lewis as Escargoon from Kirby:Right Back at Ya.
As Escargoon,Ted did an amazingly close impersonation of the voice of
Paul Lynde,a gay actor. Ted even used that voice for a few other roles he played.
Seth Green has earned himself a place on my list for the fact that he does the voices of a good deal of female characters on Robot Chicken.
Rob Paulsen provided the French-accented vocals of Antoine from the old Sonic the Hedgehog cartoon (known as SatAM). Antoine was meant to sound like a coward,but I thought he sounded kinda gay. IMO,
gay voice = decent voice for Mr. 2.
Finally,Jason Griffith might come as a bit of a surprise to you. The main reason why I'd even consider him is because of all those complaints I've heard about how gay his Usopp voice is. Well,I think such a voice would have been put to better use as the voice of Mr. 2.
Phew,that was a lengthly first character highlight! You can be sure it won't be the last!

yo, have you seen the original series, or the 4kids dub. Funimation took over and got a voice cast that the creator of One piece, Eichiro Oda aproved of.

RPG KING

if u want to see the funi dub ones go to youtube

CosmicDebris

Yeah…um, the voice actors are all totally different now, thank goodness. Watch FUNimation's One Piece on Cartoon Network. They've even started redubbing it from the beginning and gone to Skypiea and beyond. How you weren't aware of this is shocking.

Quexinos

Can you also not type in white for those of us using the brighter skin? It's impossible to read.

Charagon

Is there a purpose to this thread other than "Cast ideas that will never happen"?

Richard Cox as Sanji? Are you nuts? Cox has exactly one voice and Sanji ain't it.
Good call on Mark Hamill as Buggy though. The guy playing him now seems to have the same idea.

Gyah, why do people colorize their text like that? I'm willing to look past Greg's commonly bold yellow words, but this is ridiculous. I'm not gonna hit "select all" to read this long ass shit. Also, seems it just another "I wish" thread.

I wish for the FUNimation cast…OH! I GOT IT!

AniDisTin

Well,I think it's never too late to start a casting suggestions thread,no matter how good the current dub of the show is. Now,if you don't mind,please stop going off-topic and start making comments about my suggestions. I'd like someone to look at my "character highlight" post and comment on it. I really want to hear what others think about my suggestions on who to play Mr. 2.

Demon Rin

Funny You bring Attention to your Mr. 2 Sugestions.

Mr. 2 Bon Clay: Tom Kane,Sean Schemmel,Eric Stuart,Ted Lewis,Rob Paulsen,
Jason Griffith

Jason Griffith

no, no no no No No No NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO!!!

That's like if you just had an exterminator rid your house of mice, and they you open the door wide open and put a hunk of cheese on the floor!

AniDisTin

Well,I'm sorry I ever suggested Jason Griffith as Mr. 2! Now,could someone please tell me what they think of my other suggestions for the role of Mr. 2?
Like I said,I particularly like my casting of Tom Kane and Sean Schemmel. Anyone else think the same?

Sandai Mera

Tom Kenny = Luffy
