Patrick
Seitz is going to have a rematch with Crispin Freeman. The Hellsing dub
voices of Luke Valentine and Arucard, respectively, battled in the
first animated Hellsing, and they'll fight again in the upcoming
Hellsing Ultimate as the same characters. We'll avoid any spoilers
about the rematch, but it's fair to say that Seitz is glad to return to
the Hellsing world, and Luke seems to have more fun than he did in the
first encounter. "I felt I got a little more out of the character,
about what he's about," Seitz said. You'll have to buy the Hellsing
Ultimate videos to learn the outcome of the rematch. Seitz also had a
role in another anime dub also directed by Talisen Jaffe, R.O.D the TV,
where he played Lee Linho, the editor who you never knew was a good guy
or a bad guy from scene to scene. "I'm a sucker for a character with
redemptive moments," he said about Linho's demise mid-way through the
series. That role was voiced around the same time that Seitz was Keigo
Onishi, the leading-man type in Texhnolyze, the unpredictable sci-fi
show where he was one of the few articulate characters. "Texhnolyze was
the first time I had to be suave and tough, because I didn't know what was
going on in the show. It wasn't an easy nut to crack."
But
the role that still stands out for Seitz was Koshiro Saeki, who likes
his sister way too much in Koi Kaze. "He tries to do what's right but
he just reaches his limit," Seitz said. "It was nice that we (Seitz and
voice director Liam O'Brien) had the time to get it right." It was a
story about incest, but Seitz was pleased that it wasn't presented in a
sleazy fashion, concentrating instead on the human part of the story
and how his character meets his struggles. While Seitz happily jokes
about his voice acting roles, he turns serious when he thinks about the
real life role he played before he was an actor, when he was a high
school classroom teacher. Those children didn't want to read or work,
he recalled, and didn't seem to have enough interest in life outside of
themselves. Seitz also noted that the middle school children he taught
were far more difficult to handle than high schoolers.
