Notes
- Gilvezan also appeared at the (unofficial) BotCon 2004 convention.
- Gilvezan has penned two books about working as a performer in Hollywood: the fiction novel Drowned in the Grenadine and the autobiographical Bumblebee and Me, the latter specifically about his days recording The Transformers and the fandom. In it, he revealed that the original spelling of his surname was "Giulvezan" (pronounced akin to "Giuseppe"), but he had to drop the "u" due to others having difficulty pronouncing it.
- According to Bumblebee and Me, Gilvezan originally auditioned for Starscream, Ratchet, and Prowl alongside Bumblebee. He was called back for Spike after having already been cast as Bumblebee (a fact he only discovered at the callback), but was not chosen for Spike due to concerns that the characters would sound too similar if he was talking to himself all the time.
