According to the DVD extras on FullMetal Alchemist Volume 13, Sonny became the choice for voicing Maes Hughes when, after he had finished his audition, he casually quoted Hughes' line: "Sorry, I have to go home to my wife and daughter."
(when asked about his comic book consumer preference juxtaposed to his producing of them)
Strait: I like the art in Tellos and Battle Chasers. I still read Cerebus, Hellboy, Bone, and Usagi Yojimbo. Other than that I don't read too many comic books. Occasionally something will catch my attention. I do read a lot, however. I tend to gravitate to non-fiction, metaphysical and philosophical texts as well as "how-to" books (I am the perpetual student). I especially love books on shamanism.
(when asked about his likes, pastimes, etc..)
Strait: I love entertaining. Not just on stage but at home. I love having intelligent people at my house to discuss and argue with. I love reading. Mostly non-fiction, but I did read a collection of short stories by Steve Martin recently called Pure Drivel that was brilliant. I don't watch a lot of television except for Ally McBeal and David Letterman. I love being in nature. I love dancing. And I love trying to think of things I love to do!
