Talk:David Lucas

You'd think so, but he's not.
This is all rather confusing!  Is there an audible difference between the character "Spike"'s voice in the movie and the series? -Blazingluke 19:44, 16 August 2005 (UTC)

Flat out.

message: Jack Cain, if you can give us something to confirm this, we could probably rewrite both entries.  Where did you find your information

thread_title: How to confirm this

message: You need to consider that Steven Blum is not going to go out and say, or even admit openly, that he is David Lucas.  If he did, he would get in quite a deal of trouble, and could be expelled.  Stating that David Blum is a friend of his is a secure and valid story to cast doubt about whether he is or isn't David Lucas, and therefore, affords him safety despite working on non-SAG projects.  It's not inconcievable that Steven Blum himself could have written the aforementioned letter under his alias to cast continued doubt and remedy suspicion over this issue.  Stating that Lucas has early, unfavorable experiences with zealous fans gives the reason why he's never been seen.  But if we consider this statement, it implies that not only did David Lucas experience some degree of celebrity and fan worship at a time when he did make appearances, and that he has had experience at cons or with fans and has thus appeared.  Given this, shouldn't there be several fans, people, and staff of such an event(be that where it occured), that remember seeing him and know he is not Steven Blum?  If these people are zealous enough fans to create an "uncomfortable experience", it would be logical to assume they would follow his exploits, and hear of the dispute over whether he is an alias or real.  So, shouldn't we have some actual first-hand accounts from people that have seen Lucas in person and know he is different?
Furthermore, there is very little, if any, noticable difference between Spike's voice in Cowboy Bebop the series, and the movie.  There isn't even any change in style or anything, which one might attribute to a different actor, even if they are trying to emulate a previous voice talent.  To believe Steven Blum and David Lucas are different people, we have to assume not only is David Lucas a person who can do an impression of Blum so well, that it cannot be distinguished from the original, but that conveinently, these two people know each other, and are even close friends.
What about alternate timelines? They could be the same person from different, paralelle dimentions? Jack Cain 07:01, 25 September 2005 (UTC)

message: This seems alot like the name thing for Yoko Kanno. Everyone says she's Garbiella Robin and pretty much accepts that she is, but there is no actual solid proof one way or another. If Steve Blum is David Lucas great, but as long as he keeps up with roles we can appreciate why argue about it? ... maybe coincidently, (and for those who dont know) Yoko Kanno was the composer for most (if not all) of the music in Cowboy Bebop.   I figure they'll come out and say it if and when they're ready.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.255.236.35 (talk) 04:37, 15 October 2010 (UTC)
