    6.5 Fair
    Great voice over actor, but I don't like him. hide show

    Dave Willis is a great voice over actor on shows like "Aqua Teen Hunger Force", "Space Ghost Coast to Coast" and "Birdman Coast to Coast" to name a few. He also co-wrote almost if not every Aqua Teen Episode, and Co-Created Aqua Teen & Space Ghost. but I still don't like him.

    For one, I own every Aqua Teen Hunger Force DVD, as I am a big fan of the show. I also like watching DVD commentaries, but not when he does them. He spends about half the episode singing and playing a guitar. I'm guessing people watch commentaries to hear stuff about the episode, not to hear someone who has no musical talent singing. Plus, other than the stupid singing, he doesn't really say much if anything else in the whole commentary... and he's the creator, the writer, and the voice of two main characters.

    He needs to just stick to the acting & writing. And if he wants to sing, he should release a music CD, not sing in commentaries which are supposed to be about the show.

    8.7 Great
    Dave Willis is a very talented voice actor. hide show

    I know that Dave Willis does the voices for Meatwad, Carl, and Ignignokt on "Aqua Teen Hunger Force", and Chancellor Sheppard on "Yu-Gi-Oh! GX". He does great voicing Meatwad, Carl is good, but nothing special, Ignignokts great, too, and he does a good job voicing Sheppard. He is a talented voice-actor, and has a great voice to be able to do all of those voices differently. He's original, too, and very funny in "Aqua Teen Hunger Force".
    8.7/10.
