Christian Sugiono has recently added another cool job to his already long curriculum vitae.
He dubbed the voice of Harold Attinger, the main antagonist of Transformers: Age of Extinction.
'I've been hoping to dub Megatron, my favorite. Megatron is not in this sequel so I thought I could get one of the robots but [singer] Bebi Romeo and [rapper] Iwa K have more robotic voices, so they got the job,' said the model and actor who has deep vocals.
Along with his wife, award-winning actress Titi Kamal who filled in the voice of Tessa Yeager in the film, Christian recorded his lines in one day instead of the planned two days.
'In five years I'll tell Juna that I'm in the film, although he would only find my voice in it,' said the father of the 18-month-old boy.
The Indonesian-dubbed version of the blockbuster is to be aired on the HBO Asia channel on Idul Fitri day, July 17, at 8 p.m.
Besides his many professions in the entertainment industry, Christian is one of Jakarta's technophiles who has his hands on some popular websites that include online dating service setipe.com and a fun Internet travel documentary called Jalan Jalan Men.
The video series is co-hosted by humor site malesbanget.com, run by MBDC Media, where Christian is the co-founder and CEO.
Once a journalist on behalf of MTV Indonesia, Christian is hands-on in producing and programing videos for MBDC.
The company recently partnered with Japan-based Rebright Partners and Silicon Valley's tech company incubator 500 Startups.
For the job, he mostly relies on his telecommunications devices that, coincidentally, are Apple products.
'We use the same operating system at the office because the system is stable and compatible with different products of the same make,' he said. 'Apple to Apple [systems] makes it simple.'

Apple iPhone 5c
When it comes to gadgets, I choose function over fashion. My wife buys a new release because it has a more sleek build or it comes with pink case. In my case, I would only upgrade my phone if the new release has a faster processor or new technology.
This phone minimizes the input of passcodes with its fingerprint lock system ' it's easier and makes it more personal.
I don't play mobile games. I don't play games at all. I use my phone mainly for work. I could monitor the website traffic and earnings, even the office's CCTV, from the phone.
Apple iPad Mini and Macbook Pro
I prefer to edit videos on the tablet and laptop because the bigger view is more comfortable. I can edit and share the video on video-sharing site YouTube at one go.
I also use the tablet for casual reading and browsing. Because of its size, it has the same feel as reading a physical book.
Applications
I use main social media platforms such as Twitter, Facebook and Instagram that I can open on all my gadgets.
I use the GoPro camera and MindDrone applications for shooting purposes.
