For a 82 years old man he looks simply GREAT!
Seeing Michael do Raziel's voice after so many years is such a joy. Thanks for this, guys. Michael is a hero.
Raziel is my Favourite Video Game Character of all Time and it will truly be a Somber day when Micheal Bell, the VA Legend who voiced our Favorite Angel of Death, passes away.
On the words of the elder god...Death comes for us all .
@@jurivjerdha2467 Including the Voice Actor for the Elder God, Tony Jay....
I would literally pay so much money to watch a Netflix Castlevania anime style legacy of Kain Soul Reaver anime adaptation and hear Michael Bell voice razio again
Yeah I don't think anime would be the right style, but made by Netflix I'm on board with that.
@@carlosaponte2349 which anime style would you recommend for a soul Reaper anime?
It would work well as a conclusion to the series. As long as they don't go with the route of copious swearing It worked for Castlevania well-enough and seeing Death drop a few f-bombs was massively entertaining.
The LoK series is noteworthy for its elegant Shakespearean narrative and there's no way what they did with Castlevania would work in terms of dialogue. The highest level of vulgarity I think the LoK series ever reached was with the use of the word "Bastard".
Truthfully, I'd rather they adapt the Berserk manga because that series sorely needs it. It's more their forte' and LoK already has a great amount of quality digital content compared to Berserk.
Thank you for keeping LOK alive.
Thank you guys for this and for Simon Templeton. Seeing these two whose voices impacted so many of us brings me great joy. I hope you do get Amy Hennig on to talk about the soul reaver series and working with the guys.
I’d love to hear Amy Henning talk about the legacy of Kain writing
Id pay for it
@@thanevakarian9762 I seriously need this.
Fingers crossed!
Also heartbroken he didn't get the roles he wanted, but he will forever be remembered for his voice work!
I know first name I think about when I hear legacy of Kain is Michael Bell. He did a remarkable job. Idk if that’s all he wants to be remembered for but regardless he’s got talent.
Sir Michael Bell if you ever see this, thank you for your stellar work, it saved my life. Your potrayal of Raziel along with Simons Kain are the best voice acting in any medium.
Micheal, you did something more important to me than any movie ever created. It really means a lot to me that you gave your best performance to some video game in the late 90s. Soul Reaver was literally life changing for me. I thought about games differently after that. So it hurts my heart to hear you say "I wish I was in something important." You were in something the _most_ important to me.
I miss actors being revered for sheer talent.
Time is...ticking...the mortals who voiced the legends...grow older...
The Legacy of Kain...needs it’s finality...
Who will...take up this...cup...and do...justice...by us all?..
The voice that told us (Raziel) all ,we were worthy... The Elder God (Tony Jay) has already passed away...
So awesome to see Michael is still as sharp as the soul reaver at his age. Gives me hope we might hear him narrate and voice act some amazing projects still.
Damn. You guys literally interviewed a legend!
I was a bit starstruck at the beginning, I had to recover. Thankfully Michael noticed and saved me from myself, haha.
@@MonstersMadnessandMagic
I couldn't have done it. Being born in the '70s, this guy was a big chunk of my childhood. Could always point his voice out and in my mid twenties playing Soul Reaver for the first time, the nostalgia was overwhelming. Getting a chance to talk with him I would be a stammering mess!🤣
@@chasingembers6167 I felt like I was! Getting kick from the call momentarily gave me a chance to compose myself and breathe, haha.
@@MonstersMadnessandMagic Oh is that what happened? You seemed kinda cold at first and I was like HOW!!?? IT"S MICHAEL FREAKING BELL!!
But being star struck makes sense now
@@Ouchimoo yes! It has never happened, and when it did, I got stuck in my head for a second.
You have my respect sir I finally meet the man with the voice of a fallen hero who gave himself to the sword and thus gave Kane the opportunity to be the savior of Nosgoth
He's so cool and he doesn't even acknowledge it, so modest :)
And I love that he just says whatever the hell he wants.
I used to think he was crude when not working, but it makes so much sense when you've had the experience in the business that he's had ^^
Raziel be having an internal monologue pondering the existence of all kinds of naked people on the internet. lol
As he causes a fuss over the prices on only fans 😂😂
He is my god along with Simon and tony
he kind of always sounds like raziel,its like a raziel interview,love that he is vegan and an invirementalist.
Michael Bell is such an amazing human being.
I grew up to soul reaver and it was my first PlayStation game to ever play before these other games that came out Legacy of Kain is my favorite game ever I wish we could experience more of legacy of Kain
OK now we only need you to get Amy, Richard, Anna, Alastair, Gregg...and basically the whole cast :D [RIP Tony, Rene & Paul
We will certainly do our best, haha!
I'm actually happy that I met Michael back in 2018 at a convention I went to; this was a pretty good interview to watch
Thanks for watching!
Mr. Bell looks and sounds fantastic! Of course I selfishly hope we get to hear him as Raziel again but I'm just so happy to see him looking well. Thank you so much for your work Mr. Bell, and thank you lads and 3M for managing to get this interview! You guys are doing great!
Michael Bell It's a legend his work on the legacy of kain series is recorded in my heart forever!! Thank you so much for being here sharing this!!!
I also have some small poster prints I bought on Ebay of Raziel , gave a few to some friends of mine and one of them got Michael's autograph when she met him in Florida.
OMG! That's amazing
@@KatherinaBathory Ikr I'm so jelly and she sees him every time he's in Florida for comicom, I gotta get her to get him to sign my stuff too. She also has Simon's sig too on some stuff.
@@christineeccles7445 OMG... Very jealous indeed
Him and Stephen Russell (Garrett) both gave voices to my favourite characters in video games.
Surprised no one has mentioned he was the English voice for Guts in Berserk: Guts' Rage on the Dreamcast. More interesting because of the similarities between Raziel and Guts' backstories. Both characters cast down and betrayed by someone they trusted etc.
I wanna meet these guys so I can at least shake their hands before they're gone
Oh man.. Imagine a dark style Legacy of Kain musical. Lol
This made my day. Thanks for this awesome interview guys, it's always wonderful to see how someone is doing nowadays, especially when they've have had such an influence on us as kids. 🤙💙🗡
Michael bell is one of the best voice actors and raziel is one of his best characters too. Good video by the way.
I teared up just hearing that beginning, wow
Michael Bell's voice is oh so buttery smooth even when he's not voice acting lol
I am so happy to See Grouchy and Handy Smurf still alive
Thank you very much Michael for being Raziel !
I also want to appreciate much how you guys made this interview happen. Legacy of Kain Soul Reaver still being one of my favorite games ever.
Thrilled to have come across this interview and just listen to Michael discussing his incredibly vast and interesting life (with such a charming wit and sense of humour). For me, I mostly learned about Michael's resume through Lawrence from the Ratchet & Clank series and Rugrats as a kid. But Raziel has quickly become the role I most associate with him and I'm glad he's doing well after all these years.
As time goes on, its been very sad to see much of the talent who bring a lot of memorable characters and timeless stories to life pass away and Legacy of Kain is no stranger to that (with the loss of Tony Jay, Paul Lukather and Rene Auberjonois).
But as I get older myself, I've come to realize how lucky we all are with so many classic games, movies, cartoons, books and TV shows being properly archived by both fans and companies for generations to come. The talented men and women who originally crafted all this material may not live forever, but their creative spirits will continue to live on and their lessons never forgotten, so long as we strife to keep those memories alive.
Cheers for uploading this and I wish all of you well in your continued ventures.
Michael bell is gold. He is my idol
Man, i'd be THRILLED for a drama audiobook retelling the Legacy of Kain and Soul Reaver stories from start to finish as Amy & crew imagined it.
Templeman narrating Blood Omen story, Bell taking over as we go into Soul Reaver story, both narrating back and forth with Defiance/epilogue.
Filling in the story gaps where relevant, maybe retelling Blood Omen 2 and what happens from then until Soul Reaver storyline begins.
Tony Jay will be sorely missed, but hopefully there are enough master recordings to carry it through. Eidos, Silicon Knights, Crystal Dynamics, GO!
I'd love that.
Great interview with a voice acting legend, from childhood to present day I've been a big fan of his work.
Epic to see Michael is doing great.
What a voice, I get chills every time I hear that awesome voice from that awesome game 💪
Love this! From G.I. Joe to Soul Reaver, Michael Bell has been the voice of my childhood & adolescence.
Subbed just because of this. But thank you for keeping Soul Reaver relevant! I hope for the return of Raziel and Kain to see how their quest to defy destiny unravels.
Thanks for the sub! You'll probably enjoy the chat with Simon Templeman as well.
AAAAAHHH Michael Bell is so cool, please never leave us D:
I'm still waiting for the next LoK (with Raziel and Kain). I will buy a new computer if necessary :)
I donno why but i thought he was dead, i gues i rad some trash articles 4-5 years ago, and oh my i was shocked seeng this in my feed. Man, i bow to u for doing this. I instantly got tears in my eyes and goosebumps on my skin. So maybe... there is a slight chance... oh nvm. Was endless pleasure to hear him. He had massive impact on my development as a person. I shake ur hand mr
Nah Tony Jail, Paul Lukather and Rene Aberjonouis are dead. They were the voice of the Elder God, Vorador and Janos Audron.
@@Rahab111222
Sadly...
still love to watch him when he's on mash.
never realized he was the same dude :O i used to watch mash with my grandad when i was 8
Omg my childhood 😖🥺😍. This is a dream. I hear raziel lol!!!
Thank you guys! I loved this interview!
I shall be watching this tonight!
Ha! That was classic. "I grew up with you. He was the same age!"
Michael Bell is amazing and also he worked with LeBron James.
Damn didn't know that.
It was great hearing from Bell and Templeman, been a good few years now since I've heard them in anything personally. And even longer since either of them were put to use as much as in Legacy of Kain. At least in gaming anyway, they've mostly had smaller parts there. Which is tragic if you ask me. Some casting directors out there need a slap.
Last time was the Lara Croft mini games
@@nightmareedge657 And even then, that was just archived audio in the case of Guardian of Light.
Loved this interview!
Also:
Michael Bay didn't use them because he wasn't a fan of the franchise, didn't care about it, and is a douche.
didnt use what
@@vukadinstanujkic7742 the part where Michael Bell and another actor (I commented on this 8mo ago so I dont remember, lol) asked to be in a Transformers movie, just a cameo, since they voiced some of the characters in the cartoons. Bay was like...nah.
Raziel,Raziel 😌🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Search on youtube for this: "Legacy of Kain Deleted Scene -Raziel Comes to a Sudden Realization - Michael Bell"
heh.
😎👌🏻 Great.
I wonder if a sane soul reaver has the ability to communicate with kain if so.
inside kains head: talking
kain: debating vampire history
some random hunter: is he sane.
Great interview guys! Loved his Duke story lol.
thank you!
I would like to see you guys try to get Amy on the show
Raziel lives.
Aww so sweet to hear he was vegan and supporting animal welfare. Such a lovely guy!
Raziel: MMmm this internet can show me everything? Ok, how about "Old people screwing"....
That moment, he wanted to go back to the abyss!
That's literally such a good question .....(who do you call when in another state)
Ahahahah scream or something to warm me
O but where is the soul,,,,,,,,,it's massive it's beautiful and it's amazing but for whom?just as beauty is satisfied by the lover who praise it but what is beauty without a lover but that which is cruel and unprofitting is not beauty but a deception leading to moral corruption and further more to its decay that is then only the appearance of something which is false like a shadow....and many in those days were led astray and their steps wavered in directions to which their were no paths,,,,,and in those days was a strong delusion upon men and they were self decieved,,,,nothing but they just wasted their time in hypocrisy which they themselves in their hearts did confirm and occasionally confessed a bit silently and in a more sneaky way though not openly......it was indeed the darkest of times on the earth and lost men with little hope didn't even think of making the lord a sanctuary which they know as a holy and sacred place so it was in the sanctuaries that they had buried their deeds and it is till this day that they bury their deads and is a place of their mourning and weeping,,,,,,So have you seen grave yards on road sides and in the wilderness where silence pervades every part,,,,,,complete silence and nor do people talk there nor you hear a laughter only for a short stay though may people meet their and except those who say lost their way through the deep would and such are the signs and also the remains of ancient worlds and stupas and oldened tombs that you saw in the midst of the green wilderness......and then you heard of the ancient burial inside caves where none visited so purify your thoughts from evil and use wisely what you are left with and keep thy faith firm and now that you have destroyed yourself,,,,,,,,,redeem......
