Can't describe the insane experience of seeing myself a couple of years back during the coolest moment of my life not only candidly on TH-cam shorts but also on Steve Downes' TH-cam channel of all places? Totally surreal considering I look completely different now. Looking back at it from another perspective I didn't realize how completely slack-jawed I was finally meeting you! It really was a pleasure meeting you Mr. Downes! Thanks again for the signed poster! (I've got it framed in my room!)
Hey, its my birthday too on that day :) Just saying this cause everyone except my mother or my wife calls me on the 29th congratulating, the few that do. I hope You're feeling loved anywhere you are, if you are reading this
I wish people would stop saying this because a lot of people/kids didn’t have good parents to raise them right and had to raise themselves and they still turned out nice and respectful like this even though their parents were shitty/absent (I’m projecting cause I got told that a lot growing up that my parents raised me right but they didn’t raise anything I raised myself this is all me lol)
Doesn't have to be someone you admire to be polite. Try it at your next drive through when you pick up some fast food. Little things can make someones day in both positive and negative ways.

30 years ago while waiting for my car at a performance shop I met someone who had the same first & last name as me and then after about 10 minutes of conversation we find out we shared a birthday!! I’ll never forget that!
@@maxwellhesher1790 I actually would love that so much. But chief is blonde and blue eyed. Maybe they can have him dye his hair and wear some slick contacts.
Ya know I was raised old school so I didn’t even notice till you said it but then thinking about it anytime I say sir or mam in public older people always smile just a lil bit extra and the younger generation lacks respect of elders was nice replaying the video just to here him say it again
I'm 31 years old and I was raised old school as well when I was growing up you didn't say yes sir yes ma'am or Mister or Miss you got your butt whooped and it's sad but I agree with y'all not many people will even say mister miss or ma'am or sir anymore it's it's very sad and then they get mad at you for being respectful
Such a respectful young man!!! They raised him right! He was definitely nervous meeting you, but I know this interaction will be a core memory for him. 🤩
I remember at Halo Outpost Discovery in Houston you were quite busy and being rushed to get to your next location but someone stopped you to ask for an autograph. The person accompanying you insisted you need to keep moving but you stopped to give that fan that special moment. I will never forget that. You’re a hero in real life too sir.
#1 Grandchild here. Born on my grandmother's birthday. It was great sharing that with her every year until she died. My birthdays were different after that 😢. We were so used to our game of who called who first to wish the first Happy B. Day.
I think this is so nice in a cast, and what makes Steve so fantastic. Its not so much that he's a fan of Halo, but he just absolutely loves doing it all and being the chief. From his past interviews he's terrible at the game, but likes the world, and genuinely loves what playing the character has meant to so many people. And THAT is what is important when making a show/game. You don't need to be able to recite every tiny lore detail, but if you love the love that fans have for your thing, then any decisions you make in development will be thought out and for the right reason.
Any celebrity who goes out of their way to grace the true fans is set from the rest. It always seems that people who are happy making others happy despite it maybe not being their dream role is a special kind of amazing.
im so glad this guy was able to make a career off a single character. i know he’s iconic and has done many works but obv. his most iconic is master chief, just refreshing to see someone so genuine and humble

So wholesome man hope things going well for ya
DbD ?
I had a birthday 9 months ago
This is a man who loves his fans.
Bro was so polite too calling him sir
He really dose
This interaction is better than the entire Halo TV series
And we love him☺️
He could be a pedophile.
"It's his birthday?"
"Yeah, last month." 😂
Hey, its my birthday too on that day :)

Yesterday was last month
Or the trip they were on was his birthday gift and they decided to celebrate his birthday one last time during his big moment of him meeting Steve?
This kid is so respectful his parents did a good raising him
What kid 😂 there no kids on this video . Grown ass guy like games.

This is how you spot the genuine article. He was so proud that he shared his birthday with a fan that he actually proved it.
I love how respectful and kind Aaron was

Its called twins
Dad really likes that name.
yeaah because you are a glitch
bro met his identity thief
It's called stolen identity
I’m so grateful we got Steve Dowes as our Master Chief. Not just his performance, but his personality and genuine love of his fans. Such a great guy.
It’s funny, I’d be incredibly upset if Steve’s face isn’t under chief’s helmet. Truly embodies his character.
@@maxwellhesher1790 I actually would love that so much. But chief is blonde and blue eyed. Maybe they can have him dye his hair and wear some slick contacts.
@@norecordingsoftware3309 Is he?
I thought he was brown haired with brown eyes, at least that’s what the ‘training day’ animation showed.
@@maxwellhesher1790he has blue eyes brown hair, both of you are 50% right
@@maxwellhesher1790 animations show brown eyes but the wiki says John is blue eyed brown hair
i don’t even like Halo, but MAN i like this man
He really cares about his fans and such. I love that
Mr. Downs. Dudes got respect and i love that. Very few people say mr or mrs anymore and its a shame.

I wanna meet this man I've listened to for 20 yrs someday
For the kids watching, Steve here is a real man. Be like steve :) be a good man
Indeed. Be a Spartan, but also be yoursef
Need a weapon?
Steve downes is such a great guy he’s the best voice actor in gaming
But, I'm a woman, can I still be like Steve?
@@Buttermybun yes :)
So happy to share a birthday with this legend
That’s you ?
@@blackcat6.2. lmao nah just same birthday 💀💀💀💀
That "happy birthday, Mr. Downes" was so humble. He was in awe of hus idol.
This guy has so much class and kindness to his fans. What a legend 👍👍👍👍

What a polite and lovely young man.
They got excited when he took his wallet out. They thought they were gonna get some cash 😂
You're projecting lol
@@thewhitepatch2730 no they def were 😅
@@jul734 they were even looking at each other 😂
@@thewhitepatch2730dude lol, they clearly looked at eachother like “uh is he giving us money as a present…?”
Little does he know he has 365 IDs to have a wholesome interaction with his fans

I couldn’t get over how polite and grateful the kid seemed. Kid was raised right!!!

Im not a fan of calling people Sir, but I'd go out of my way and call Master Chief Sir anyday! ❤❤❤
What’s wrong with calling people sir?
@@paytonallen1027 u a bottom feeder?

It's makeup..
@@junebug313oooooooooh. That makes sense. Dang good makeup. I couldn’t stop looking and wanted to yak a bit.
Kinda reminds me of the trapper from dead by daylight only without the mask
It’s always kidda cool when you meet someone with the same birthday, especially if it’s the same year.
The love that this man has for his fans is unrivaled. So proud to have you as our Chief.
How cool is it that this being a voice actor has such a huge fan base, myself included. That must feel wild for him.
The respect they have for each other is beautiful 🥲
The level of respect is amazing
Beautiful encounter, Respect to them both!!
Love that whole interaction, those young folks are so respectful ❤
