By: Jacob Elyachar, jakes-take.com

For the first time, The Jake’s Take with Jacob Elyachar Podcast is celebrating Halloween!

We will highlight performers who portrayed some of the nastiest villains in pop culture during our yearly Halloween specials.  

I am thrilled to welcome voice actor David Kaye to the podcast. Transformers fans will recognize him as the voice of Megatron (Beast Wars: Transformers, Beast Machines: Transformers, Robot Chicken, Transformers: Armada, Transformers: Energon, and Transformers: Cybertron) and Optimus Prime, Grimlock, and Highbrow (Transformers: Animated).  

He also voiced some of Marvel’s most sinister characters in both video games and cartoons, including Apocalypse (X-Men: Evolution), Corvus Glaive (Guardians of the Galaxy – Cartoon series & Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3: The Black Order), Mysterio (Disney Infinity 3.0 and Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions ), the Supreme Intelligence (The Avengers: Earth’s Mightiest Heroes), and Ultron (Avengers Assemble).  David also voiced some of Marvel’s top heroes, including Captain America (Marvel: Ultimate Alliance 2),  Iron Man (Fantastic Four: Worlds’ Greatest Heroes and Marvel Nemesis: Rise of the Imperfects ), and Vision (Avengers Assemble).

He also lent his voice to characters in countless anime series, including Dragon Ball Z, Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex, MegaMan NT Warrior, and Monster Rancher. In addition, he voiced Sesshomaru in three different chapters of InuYasha: The Movie.  David also starred in several live-action films and TV shows such as Battlestar Galactica, Happy Gilmore, The Quest, The X-Files, and X2: X-Men United. 

In this special edition of The Jake’s Take with Jacob Elyachar Podcast, David Kaye opened up about Beast Wars: Transformers’ impact on pop culture and his role as Last Week Tonight with John Oliver’s announcer.
