X-Reads Podcast Episode 138: A chat with George Buza, the voice of Beast from ‘X-Men ’97’

We talk all things Hank McCoy, his return to the role, and dive into Beauty and the Beast #2.

This week, we’re absolutely geeking out because we’re joined by George Buza, the legendary voice of Beast from X-Men: The Animated Series and X-Men ‘97! We talk all things Hank McCoy, his return to the role, and dive into Beauty and the Beast #2, where Beast and Dazzler’s short-lived romance takes a wild turn into gladiator-style chaos.

George shares stories from his time voicing Beast, what it’s like stepping back into the X-Men universe after all these years, and his thoughts on the complex, brilliant, and oh-so-quotable Hank McCoy. If X-Men: The Animated Series was a core part of your childhood (or, let’s be real, your entire personality), you do NOT want to miss this episode!
