Trivia

 * According to Corlett, in an interview with Christopher Niosi, he stopped doing much dubbing work due to it paying very poorly.
 * All the same, he also states he wished that the casting team for the Ocean Dub of Dragon Ball Z Kai would have contacted him about reprising Goku, as he would've at least considered it.
 * Due to their similar vocal tones, Peter Kelamis has replaced Corlett in two different dubbing roles; Goku in Dragon Ball Z, and Shuishi Tataki in Key the Metal Idol.
