The team over at AlphaHeroShock have just posted up an interview with actor Robert Baldwin. Among many bit parts as a foreigner for TV dramas and variety shows Mr. Baldwin first dipped into Tokusatsu as Gordo in the 2005 Takara series Sazer X and recently made a 2 episode cameo on Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger as Ramirez/KyoryuCyan!
There's some great stuff in this interview such as: Quote:
Well, starting almost half a century back (oh, that’s a long time!), I was actually born in Japan.
Quote:
I was told that Ramirez was supposed to be a « cheery » character, and his lines were written in such a way that would indicate that he spoke Japanese with a foreign accent.
Quote:
The fact that I used to watch Goranger when it originally aired in the 70s makes the original phone call, being offered a part as a Sentai hero, a very special memory.

Why Ram sounded like he did makes alot more sense now. I take back what I said about his acting.

I figured his weird line readings were intentional.

He really was fun to watch. And after reading this interview he seems like a pretty cool guy and a toku fan to boot! I'll be pleased to see him return later in the series. I hope they bring him back.

Yep, his Japanese is really fluent if you ever get a chance to see him on other shows.

I guess he would be since he's actually a native of Japan. Very interesting interview, thanks!
