Stylin Online interviews Mark Ryan @ Motor City Comicon

Stylin Online’s "kp" interviews Mark Ryan, the voice of Bumblbee in the blockbuster Transformers movies. Mark Ryan has been combining his acting, singing, writing and Action Direction talents in an eclectic and successful international career ranging over 30 years. In 2000, Ryan played many major theaters in the US with original Monty Python member Eric Idle, performing classic British comedy roles in Eric Idle Exploits Monty Python at venues like New York's famed Carnegie Hall and the Hollywood Bowl. The team later recorded the show exclusively for The Comedy Channel. He began working on the 2007 film Transformers during filming as the on-set voice of several different robots. This work continued throughout filming and into editing, prior to the actual casting of voice-over talent. He was then cast as the voice of the character Bumblebee. Ryan also voices Ironhide and Hoist for the Activision video game based on the film. When Ryan was in the studio recording his lines for the actors on set, Michael Bay used the lines Ryan recorded for Bumblebee in the film. But Ryan didn't know that it would be used, and if so he said he would have used a different younger voice. He returned to voice Bumblebee as well as Jetfire for the sequel Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen and the Activision Game based on the film.
