ARIZONA AMES

Arizona Ames did not set out to make his mark as a gunfighter--it just happened. O'Neill's slow, soft speech perfectly portrays Ames. Actor-teacher O'Neill has a low-key, pleasant voice that strains, at times, to feminize voices for Arizona's conquests. In typical Grey fashion, Arizona not only removes the bad guys, but he charms the ladies, spoken for or not. O'Neill ably moves from Texas drawl to blustery Irish accent to down-home good old boy. He also has a knack for making Grey's sometimes unusual word choices sound natural. S.C.A. © AudioFile, Portland, Maine [Published: FEB/MAR 00]
