Let's go play some football. Hey, I'm Greg Cipes. I've been in hundreds of different television shows, but most people know me as Beast Boy from Teen Titans Go! (rhythmic pop music) I got into acting as a very small child. I started off in children's theater and commercial work. - Look, jerk. - [Greg] I also grew up on The Jerky Boys and I was inspired to be a prank caller. My family is a big family. I have nine brothers and sisters and we drive around the United States in a camper. At the age of around four or five, I would get on the CV and I'd mess with truck drivers. And my dad goes, "One day you're gonna do cartoons." (yelling) And he was right. (growling) - Ah! (growling) Ah! (buzzing) Ah! - [Greg] Fast forward to when I was 20 years old, I moved to LA and I landed my first ever voice acting audition. I never did the voice before my whole entire life. I looked at a picture of Beast Boy, out came this voice, first time ever. And three months later, I got a call that I got the role of Beast Boy and the animated series, Teen Titans. And I had no clue how life changing and how big of a role this was. Teen Titans has been the number one show on Cartoon Network for almost 20 year solid. (inhaling) Worlogog? See right there, even that word, worlogog. (laughing) So after landing the role of Beast Boy my voice acting career really took off. So far I've acted in over 1,500 T.V. episodes. I got roles like Michelangelo from the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, which is a huge deal for me because I grew up watching the Ninja Turtles. It was my favorite cartoon growing up. Recently, I have a roll on Duck Tales and Duck Tales was one my favorite cartoons growing up as well. So to play all these roles now and dive from to this next generation has been the most amazing, magical experience. ♪ But with you by my side ♪ One of my favorite things about being a voice actor is the creative freedom that I'm given for every role. I begged and begged and begged for it. For years and years I'm like, Beast Boy, he should be singing a song in the show and I had this song called Fade Away and they wrote this song into the show. ♪ By your side is where I'll be ♪ I also love having the ability to reach so many people with positive vibrations which that's what cartoons are, they're positive vibrations. ♪ Together let the light shine ♪ - Yeah. (laughing) - [Terra] Beast Boy, that was beautiful.
