Is David Lucas an alias for Steven Blum or not? ~ Dread Lord CyberSkull ✎☠ 20:36, 2005 August 7 (UTC)
It is. At a con, Blum talked about doing both seasons of Big-O, even though the first season is credited to Lucas.
However, this is something that fans and journalists in the anime industry who wish to be respectful of the English voice actor's situations never directly allude to because by revealing the relationships between aliases, it may cause problems for them with the Screen Actors Guild. A little bit of history: Some voice over/dub studios do not have the financial means to pay the union rates for SAG actors, so they are forced to work with non-union actors. However, all SAG actors like to work and will choose to do non-union work, but do it under a name that's not registered with SAG. The studios agree to work under these situations because they'll then get good quality dubs that way, and will never say that so and so is actually a different, SAG-affiliated so and so. The fans accept it because they'd rather see the good quality dubs, too. -TLS
If you goto IMDB's site on him [1] he's listed also as Lucas. Also see RottenTomatoes [2] - Left side says "AKA Steven Blum, David Lucas". Thirdly Eikichi Onizuka from Great Teacher Onizuka english voice is credited to David Lucas - and I know thats the same voice as Spike Spiegel from Cowboy Bebop which is credited to Steven Jay Blum. - ShakataGaNai
why are you listing steve blum's alisas? He's gona get in trouble now. Good job moron
Alright so, do we keep the information up if it risks Steven Blum losing his SAG position?-- 155.246.15.34 05:41, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
Unless I'm mistaken, its not Steven Blum who is in the Geico commercial, it's James Urbaniak.
It says in the article that he voices Marcus in Gears of War, but John DiMaggio is also credited with the role. Who is it?
DiMaggio-- Plankton5005 02:30, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
Blum was originally cast for the role but DiMaggio was later brought in instead.
Just thought someone should know that under notable roles it says a bunch of Ben 10 characters are from Cowboy Bebop.
I removed the template since most it's info. is in the article
Removed the sentence "He is not to be confused with another Steven Blum who is primarily involved in crew work, having done work on shows such as the U.S. version of Whose Line Is It Anyway?, as well as Attack of the Show! and X-Play."
As it is off-topic, irrelevant, and has nothing to do with Steven Blum the voice actor directly. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.56.245.170 ( talk) 19:16, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
Is it standard to have one of these sitting at the very bottom of the page? Seems out of place. -- BlueArctos ( talk) 01:33, 30 November 2007 (UTC)
Someone should consider including information from the various interviews with Blum available online. There's good stuff out there. I suggest An Interview Regarding the Digimon Series, A Transcribed Interview with Beau Billingslea and Steve Blum from PlayOnline, and An Insomniac Mania Interview with Steve Blum. Come on out, you dedicated fans! Just keep it wiki.
The small paragraph follows: "For several years, Blum has used several pseudonyms in non-union productions, the most commonly-known being David Lucas. Blum actively denied that he and Lucas are the same person, stating instead that they are acquaintances. As of 2004, he has unionized and now uses his real name full time." I have no idea what this paragraph means. This needs to be re-written so that someone who has never heard of Steven Blum(myself included) has enough context to make sense of it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.202.38.225 ( talk) 04:14, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
I was just wondering if there is a reason why "Dirge of Cerberus: Final Fantasy VII" and "Final Fantasy VII: Dirge of Cerberus" are both listed under the video games section, seeing as they are the same game.
Thanks, Miles15 ( talk) 06:06, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
No reason?
Okay then, I removed the second listing. :)
Miles15 ( talk) 05:14, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
I took out the dead or alive credits (since it's in the wrong section, Anime instead of Video Games, and since it looked like vandalism) and the Guild Wars Nightfall credit in the Video Games section since the male lead is not Steve Blum. From the voice, I would assert that it is Josh Keaton, but that's irrelevant. Also, Steve Blum is not credited for Nightfall.

According to this video, he will be cast as Leeron in Gurren. Add it? 69.119.135.138 ( talk) 19:17, 6 July 2008 (UTC)
I noticed he voiced over an NPC in everquest 2, i forget the npc name though... 69.248.175.25 ( talk) 17:27, 14 October 2008 (UTC)
The second sentence of the article states "He is best known as the voice of Mugen of the anime series Samurai Champloo." This can be regarded as untrue due to the fact that the first time his voice was exposed to a wide audience was in the first incarnation of [adult swim] in Cowboy Bebop as the main character Spike Spiegel. I believe the sentence should be changed to "He is best known as the voice of Spike Spiegel of the anime series Cowboy Bebop." Are there any reasons this should not be changed? 66.31.13.236 ( talk) 00:27, 7 February 2009 (UTC)

Is that his voice as the matchmaking commentator? mcnichoj ( talk) 09:01, 2 May 2009 (UTC)
Did he do the voice of Kopaka Nuva in Bionicle: Mask of Light? because it lists him as one of the two voice actors of the character.
Did he somehow redub Kopaka's voice or is this not true? Philipnova798 ( talk) 23:56, 21 May 2009 (UTC)
Mr. Blum has quite the vocal range. As Wolvie his voice is deep, but as Orochimaru and the Green Goblin he hits the high notes pretty well. I'd change it to reflect that. 173.180.75.13 ( talk) 02:43, 16 December 2010 (UTC)
imdb (and the in-game credits as well, I believe) has the Male Bounty Hunter (Player) listed as Tom Spackman. I know a lot of people thought/assumed it was Blum, due to the gravelly quality of the voice, but I don't believe it is. Unless "Bounty Hunter" refers to a different bounty hunter. It's obviously conceivable that Blum voiced other non-named NPCs within the game, but I know of no reference to evidence that states such. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.92.27.173 ( talk) 16:15, 14 September 2012 (UTC)
And the SWTOR credits show Blum only as Andronikos and Deathmark ( credits screenshot) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 178.4.18.243 ( talk) 15:19, 12 December 2012 (UTC)
Isn't his common name/the name he's usually known as pretty much "Steve Blum"? Why is this article under Steven Blum? 98.145.12.124 ( talk) 21:53, 3 September 2014 (UTC)
Has some info about Blum's thoughts on the video game industry. - AngusWOOF ( talk) 01:14, 5 January 2015 (UTC)
I have taken the bold action of removing the indiscriminate collection of roles/voices/appearance that Blum has appeared in. 90% of it is unsourced and does not show how the role is notable to the inclusion of Blum's career. Hasteur ( talk) 23:35, 17 October 2015 (UTC)
I have no objection to adding (and not restoring) specific cited references of Blum's work where they show the relevance and notability to his career. Hasteur ( talk) 23:36, 17 October 2015 (UTC)

I was going to add some roles that I noticed were missing, I discovered in the data for his roles, they were already there. They had "NEED NOTABILITY", written netxt to them. The issue here is, his roles under animation do conform to "major voice performances", and a lot of his roles under Anime could be considered unimportant as well as a lot do not even having any sources.
