[TouFast91]

Dante reminds me of Timothydelaghetto

[asdfghjkljelly]

ZUKO YOU SEXY BEAST

[backtoids]

I hate how all the comments here are about his voice acting. He's a really fuckin good poet

[Look2Good2Binnocent]

@backtoids I agree.

[Hnilmik]

[RoseBudpony1]

[destroyedjeans]

omg. he's awesome.

[Muz33kful]

Jake Long!

[PrettyPrincess2614]

Whoa. That was really good. (And I absolutely HATE poetry!!! xD)

[SpadeOfAces23]

I can see Dante Basco... He's a great poet and deserves to be seen as himself... Not his characters.

BUT!

... You can get a good laugh out of it if you close your eyes and picture Zuko reciting these poems with the same attitude and body movements as Dante.

[XxazmariaxX]

I didn't hear Dante Basco. I heard Jake Long. XD

[chicken145958]

ALL GROWN UPS ARE PIRATES!!!

[p0k3m4ns]

[YumiAngelLight]

[XAJanaeX]

I first saw Dante on Moesha, and he was one of my childhood crushes. Man, I love this dude's voice!

[AVATARWOLFGIRL]

u know he'll make a awsome Marshall lee :)

[hanatokimi56]

@AVATARWOLFGIRL rofl xD adventure time <3 I agree ! he has a hot voice 8D

[SOSphantom]

So, based off a few comments regarding Cake & Fiona, they wanted him to voice Marshal Lee? Now I'm not so worried. ^^

[SE7ENdeadliiSINZ]

OMG!! IF angels sound like him , i can't wait to go to heaven.

[BhinneeRainurreeai]

This is so weird, i feel like i should be seeing an animated Zuko.

[Addoisfly]

why were there suprises when he mentioned charles bucowski?? btw (i dont know him that much)

[CyanideandBliss]

I watched both Avatar and American Dragon, but I was able to see him as himself. O:

He was supposed to do the voice for Marshall Lee in genderbent Adventure Time (don't shoot me). But ML's lines were cut for time.

[linkmaster561]

@CyanideandBliss i can imagine marshall lee with his voice, arthur kades voice just doesnt fit

[muroku2057]

[MrPonchie12]

[Phar2Rekliss]

I got to hear one of his famous poems called "Little Negrito" live during his premiere at the Kabuki Theater in San Francisco. It was a promotional pre-screening of his film "The Debut" He is DEEP, that poem was some philosophical DEEP SHIT. This guys amazing, Gotta thank the Lord that with a guy this big in life, I got to meet him and have drinks with him, hes truly an amazing Soul. Now hes on CSI MIAMI this week, hes doing it BIG now, good for him. One of the FIRST Filipinos in hollywood.

[Lyingaboutmyage]

You have to applaud a guy who is iconic in many different generations, whether it is Rufio or Zuko.

[DocOmailay]

american dragon jake long??

[XxTheHumungusxX]

ZUKO!!!!

[zmrcleanz]

I wanted to see what Dante has been doing since I hadn't seen him since Hook. I was a little disappointed to find him t making racist poetry about Caucasians. We are all just people trying to make it. I hope he gets over that some day. A good place to start is a book called "The 10 Big Lies About America." You are better than this, Dante. Hope to see you in the movies again soon.

[aval1]

RU-FI-OOOOOOOoooooooooooooooo!­!!

[Lilsouja]

Does anyone know where I can find his book?

[DillonTaylorOfficial]

Oh wow, you got to meet Mr. Basco! I absolutely love his voice work. He IS Zuko from Avatar. I had no idea he is such a fantastic poet as well.

Thanks for sharing this!

[waterhands20]

@InnerCircleLeader

[BrookeINBrooklyNN]

[mahiganti]

He should rap with TimothyDehLaGhetto :D

[TheNotoc]

@mahiganti Haha if he raps I'd prefer it be with someone who's actually good at it.

[tylera100]

@mahiganti he looks a lot like him and they're from the same city

[justalk]

@mahiganti this isnt rap. this is spoken word. this is poetry.

[mahiganti]

@justalk isn't rap actually poetry in a different way

[BritainBrooke27]

If I was his girlfriend, I'd want him to talk forever.

[MrHoanger92]
