    What can I say? The guy's a genius! hide show

    Salem is one of my favorutie characters on Sabrina and Nick Bakay is just so right for the part! He does the sarcastic voice really well!
    One of the main things that I love about Salem is his voice! I don't really think any other person could do the voice of this cat as well as he did!
    I also love that in one episode of Sabrina there is a reference to Nick Bakay. Salem wants to call into his sports show on ESPN radio because all he ever talks about is the Buffalo Bills and his voice is so annoying!I think thats really great!

    I will always know him as Salem. hide show

    He did a brilliant job at voicing Salem he made Salem just feel so real.I had no idea what he looked like until recently but basically I will always know him as Salem the cat that can talk.Also I think it was good when Salem was put in Gordon's body because everytime "Gordie" spoke you just thought Salem was talking.Well I think he should maybe do some more voice roles because we all know he'll do great.Since I don't have anything else to say and I still haven't made it to 100 words I just say that Sabrina the teenage witch is an AWESOME SHOW ! Oh! wow now I've done more then a hundred words well I better stop.

    An AMAZING voice actor. hide show

    I really only know Nick Bakay from the Sabrina the Teenage Witch series. But from that one show I realized how talented Nick Bakay is. He is an incredible voice actor who made me forget Salem was not a real cat, and just a mechanical one. He portrayed Salem perfectly and made him my favorite character. I would always look forward to Salem's appearences because I knew he would make me burst out laughing with his perfectly delivered witty lines. In other words, Nick Bakay is an amazing voice actor and I can't wait to see how great his acting is.

    A great talent. hide show

    Most famous, at least for me, as Salem from Sabrina the Teenage Witch series. I also like him as Norbert from Angry Beavers. I'm running out of time here and running out of words, but I must stop typing and get ready to take an exam now, so this guy is awesome!
