Notes

• According to Ross, Hook's voice was born from a failed impersonation of actor [[wikipedia:{{#if:|:}}Gregory Peck|{{#if:||Gregory Peck}}]].
• Despite voicing Hector Ramirez in every other TV series he appeared in, The Transformers is the only one in which Ross did not perform the character. The part was played by both Frank Welker and John Stephenson.
• Ross was one of the eight voice actors featured in Shout! Factory's cast reunion in the 25th Anniversary "Matrix of Leadership" Collection of the original series.
• Ross's favourite line in all of Transformers is Springer's iconic quote "I've got better things to do tonight than die!".
