INTERVIEW WITH
JOSH GRELLE
Attending Supanova as media is a lot of
fun, though you do often have to wait a
while for your opportunity to put your
microphone in front of a celebrity and have
a chat. I was told by Supanova’s ever helpful
media manager to wait by Josh Grelle’s line
and when he had finished signing we could
do an interview.
silly little line. You had to be there I guess…
After that we jumped into discussing his
career and his travels around the world.
He had been quite busy in the “English
speaking parts of the southern hemisphere”
recently, including New Zealand and
Australia. The travel has been life changing
for Josh, who had been to a total of six
countries that year.
As soon as the line cleared I placed my
rather chunky condenser microphone in
front of Josh who, in his best town crier
voice, declared that:
“Once there was a microphone, it dreamed
it could be the greatest microphone in all
the land!”
From there we jumped into discussing his
short, yet expansive career. In 15 years he
has amassed many roles, including the
Grand Minister in Dragon Ball Super and
Hughes in Fairy Tale. Josh is proud to have
Anime News Network’s number 3 position
of the “most anime roles for a voice actor”
One of the most difficult parts of an
list. He says that:
interview can be breaking the ice with
someone, though with Josh it was as easy
as bursting into laughter with him over this
“For 15 years of work I’ve been insanely
fortunate… incredibly fortunate!”
