  • - That's what's up, mamas.

  • Monkey Team go!

  • Gwen, Ben, don't touch my car.

  • Brickashaw!

  • There's no beginning, there's no end.

  • There's only the eternal now.

  • 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.

- That's what's up, mamas.
