As for specific Hellsing stuff, he was asked:

One of the roles you are really known for is Alucard in Hellsing - are you excited about, or what are your thoughts on the new Hellsing OVA? Are you looking forward to it?
Well, I haven't seen it, I was at another panel, and I totally missed the trailer because I was somewhere else. It's the problem with the convention - you have to be in three places at once, but I look forward to the Hellsing OVA, but I actually haven't heard anything directly from anyone. I hope to come back and reprise my role as Alucard, but that's up to the powers that be to hire me back.

I found that most people either loved or hated Freeman as Alucard. I loved him. I hope I don't start any wars here...

[HeavyMetalQueen]

Heh, I loved him as well. He's just so smexy. ;p

Say, is that you in the avatar?

[Zahmira]

Yep! I scared children as Darth Maul for Halloween. It was great fun!

[HeavyMetalQueen]

Hehe...reminds me of when I dressed up as Darth Maul for Halloween. ;D

Freeman's voice is identical to my dad's so I have to watch the anime in Japanese to keep from being totally freaked out by the similarity, but otherwise he gave a stunning performance as Alucard, so I hope he returns. Too many bad-boy roles these days are being played by Steven Blum/David Lucas, who is overused, and would be ghastly as Alucard.

Crispin Freeman freaking rules

he played siegfried in SCIII (and im pretty sure nightmare in SCII)

hes got that awesome kind of voice that can sound normal when you see him but insanely demonic on the screen

[The Golux]

Or insanely wacky (Alan Gabriel). Or dark, mysterious, and highly put-upon (Zelgadis). Or totally laid back and OK with everything (Tylor) or...

When I get an anime I always stick it onto japanses there are very few english dubs that I actually like. Though when I got the hellsing I put the english dub on to hear if they gave them english accents after watching I became a freeman fan and rewatched all the animes I have with him in just to hear is voice! Though hellsign has to be my fave english dub out.
