Ooh, cool question, yay. Well, in a universe where everything is possible and time doesn’t exist, my first choice would be Patrick McGoohan. I know all of you are going ‘bwuh’ but if you’ve heard of the 1960’s tv show called 'The Prisoner’ he played the main character, number six.

He just has that perfect clipped BBC accent that can sound absolutely insufferable but still dapper, also RGB is ever so slightly influenced by number six, so there’s that.

If I had to pick someone from the modern realm, I have a feeling that Colin Firth would do a fantastic job. For one he’s got the right age to his voice, and has great vivacity, but he can also do that wonderful blustering stammer, which would be perfect for RGB’s pomposity.

So I just started watching Tiger and Bunny (which is pretty damned awesome hurrah), and because the voice actor for the main character is Hiroaki Hirata, the same guy who does Sanji in One Piece, it reminds me of this one time I cosplayed him at the London Expo.

I was heading back to my friends when I saw this kid, about ten or so, who obviously wasn’t with anyone. I asked if he was okay and he seemed fine, but he’d got separated from his mum. I asked who she was.

He answers: Wonder Woman.

So first off, this was the officially the coolest kid in the world.

We decided to go and find Wonder Woman, and with him sat on my shoulders it didn’t take too long. She was very relieved and wonderful and I got quite a lot of Amazon hugs, but what the kid had neglected to mention was that his dad was Captain Jack Sparrow. Now, those of you who are nerdy-McNerds like me might know that in the Japanese version of POTC the voiceactor who dubs Jack is… you guessed it; Hiroaki Hirata, and he knew that too.

So we made terrible jokes about ‘don’t you sound kind of familiar?’ and suchalike and it was pretty much the coolest thing ever.
