Trivia[]
- He has notably been one of the few English voice actors to have voiced both the adult and child versions of Goku.
- Many sources often incorrectly claim that Kelamis being replaced as Goku in the Westwood dub of Dragon Ball Z was due to him leaving to pursue a comedy career. In an interview with YouTube user "Geekdom101", Kelamis stated it was actually due to the long gaps in the dub schedule and them simply not reaching out to him again to continue dubbing. He stated he would have voiced Goku for the remainder of the series if asked.[1]
