James Marsters on Dragonball Z
This is completely unrelated to the live action movie, but I thought it was interesting that James Marsters knew of Dragonball Z before he was cast as Lord Piccolo.
We have a very normal relationship based on Dragonball Z…
- James talking about his relationship with his son
The video is from a 2003 Buffy convention.

Wow, thx for the update.
Atleast we have some proof that this guy really did know of Dragonball before he started with the movie.
And his voice is so cool and somewat deep, he’ll be able to take advantage of that during those intense moments in the movie.. hopefully XD

Something he said made me laugh awhile back. He was talking about the character of Piccolo in the manga then said something like “as we all know he got into a bad argument and was imprisoned”. That sounded like the movie version, yet he said it as if both manga and movie versions were one and the same.

lol, Yu-Gi-Oh. Guess he watches the shows with his kid.

J,
How hard is to read my “About” page before you flame an actor?
“TV Guide: Nice to know you’re so enthusiastic. Who do you play?
Marsters: Lord Piccolo. He’s thousands of years old and a very long time ago he used to be a force of good but got into a bad argument and was put into prison for 2,000 years. It got him very angry, and he finds a way to escape and then tries to destroy the world. The cool thing is, anybody who has seen Dragonball knows that Lord Piccolo transforms into a character named Piccolo, and that is a whole other ball of wax. That is one of the most popular characters in the whole series. I’ve been told I’m working for people who will just flay me alive if I give too much information, but what I can tell you is the character is green, bald and has pointed ears. Heroic wouldn’t be the wrong term by the end, but it’s a long journey.”
All he said was that anyone who knows Dragonball knows that Lord Piccolo turns into Piccolo J.R.

Yeah, that’s the article I was talking about. I read it way back when it first came out
March 27th, 2008 at 8:02 am
Nice, I bet his son is glad to see his dad’s apart of one of his favorite cartoons, even if he is the villain lol.
March 27th, 2008 at 1:27 pm
Nice find, as mentioned above, it’s nice to see that he knows of dragonball before actually playing the part of one of the characters.
March 27th, 2008 at 3:07 pm
nice… with his enthusiasm i’m confident that he will play his role well
March 27th, 2008 at 3:18 pm
I wish my dad was Piccolo
March 27th, 2008 at 3:29 pm
Whoaaa he looks like an alien!!
Cool!!!!
That’s exactly how I imagine King piccolo to be like. He got the voice and all! I just hope they do the make up and clothes right.

Robert, typing in all caps is painful to the eyes.
March 27th, 2008 at 5:39 pm
it makes you read it though!!!
March 27th, 2008 at 6:16 pm
robert i cant read half of your posts when they are all in caps, for the reason “J” said. Its PAINFUL to the eyes, and it then turns into a headache.
We would like to know whats your opinion, but everytime you use caps we cant finish reading it, because it turns painful.
March 27th, 2008 at 6:19 pm
Agree.
@Marsters He’s really cool!
March 27th, 2008 at 6:58 pm
I have to admit at first I was totally against this movie, but after many weeks of following it and realizing many people who are actually fans of Dragonball and DBZ are working on this movie (Stephen Chow, Brian Tyler, James Masters), it has given me hopes that this movie might actually turn out good after all.
March 27th, 2008 at 6:58 pm
Robert, although full, uppercase-style comments are more likely to allure more people to read them, rational people are less likely to take notice of the vacuous yak. Basically, productive comments do not need any of this constant uppercase nonsense. Actually, you could probably have a better chance of being taken more earnestly, if you protruded all of your thoughts, in a more readily, concise manner. This goes for every one else, out there.
March 27th, 2008 at 7:00 pm
Plus the fact that they moved back the release date. At first I thought they were rushing it (August 2008), but now that they have pushed back the release date (Whether it is to December 2008 or April 2009), and that means they have plenty of time to make it good (especial effects, etc).
March 27th, 2008 at 8:34 pm
yea and maybe they’ll get more sponsors
March 27th, 2008 at 9:01 pm

I won’t be posting that. It’s all rumors.
March 28th, 2008 at 5:31 am
j.s.,
most of dragonball on dvd is hard to find, but you should check ebay (though they get kinda expensive). other than that if you have a region free dvd player you could get them shipped from australia from ezydvd.com.au i guess they have funimation releases on there… glad to be of help
March 28th, 2008 at 6:14 am
j.s. said “i have a question which is off topic off the movie but does anybody know where i may be able to buy the original dragonball on dvd?”
I just go to mininova.org, I’m sorry but I’m a bootleg guy and can’t remember the last time I bought an actual dvd or cd lol. You can download DB/Z/GT episodes, remastered seasons and movies there, and did I mention there virus free
March 28th, 2008 at 6:16 am
Wait, you’ll nedd a program like Bit Torrent or uTorrent to download them, you can go to download.com to get one, and did I mention there virus free:) lol
March 28th, 2008 at 9:07 pm
Wow His voice reminds me of Piccolos! Well have to wait and see if he can pull off the mean green killing machine KING PICCOLO!
March 28th, 2008 at 9:14 pm
this is a really stupid stupid question but im not very up to date on technology but what does it mean when a dvd says its region free and will play on worldwide dvd players? does it mean it will play on anythin that uses dvds?
March 28th, 2008 at 9:17 pm
Yes…
March 28th, 2008 at 9:22 pm
