I play Rohan in THUS SPOKE KISHIBE ROHAN on
@netflix
! It's an honor to take on the mantle of this maniacal manga maven (and my favorite JoJo character) in his very own spine-tingling spin-off! Now, let's find some inspiration...
Since
#voiceactor
is trending, I'm a gay, Kansas-bred, LA-based union voice actor with a broadcast-quality home studio! You may have heard me in DEMON SLAYER, JOJO'S BIZARRE ADVENTURE, JUJUTSU KAISEN, BUNGO STRAY DOGS and many more!
Anyone who uses fame, power and influence to betray the trust of the folks who admire them is beneath contempt. To those who've come forward, I admire your bravery and hope to see it reflected in our community moving forward.
Recasting happens, folks, on both the sub and dub side. If it bugs you, that's valid. But there's no reason to vent your spleen at the new VA. I've inherited roles under difficult circumstances but always felt largely welcomed by the fans. My colleagues deserve the same courtesy.
Voicing a FIRE EMBLEM character was a VO bucket list item for me, and I couldn't have dreamt up a more fun debut than this vampy little gremlin! And yes, he really does turn into a bat! Props to
@kymg
for his magnificent design work.
I've had the outrageous fortune of being in no less than three blockbuster dubs within the last year: DEMON SLAYER: MUGEN TRAIN, JJK 0 and MY HERO ACADEMIA: WORLD HEROES MISSION. Grateful doesn't even begin to cover it...
I didn't have a lot of support from the VA community when I was first starting out. I was often met with indifference, discouragement, even hostility. It could've made me bitter, resentful. But I kept going. Now I send the elevator back down as often as I can. Because I remember.
Shion means a lot to me. I was closeted in high school, stymied by ignorance and a toxic first love. His out-and-proud joy reminds me how times have changed for the better since then, even if we still have a ways to go.
I love this show, and that's the TOOF. 🌈
Anime VO faves:
1. Favorite English VA -
Billy Kametz
2. Favorite English Dub - Baccano!
3. Favorite Anime Series - Cowboy Bebop
4. Favorite Anime Film - Whisper of the Heart
That's a wrap on Ranpo for S5! Getting to dub two seasons of BSD in a single year has been such a gift. Thank you, great detective. You've made me a better actor and changed my life in so many wonderful ways.
"To the Stray Dogs." 🔎💚
💛Special delivery incoming!💛
I'm so proud to play aspiring dancer and cat-loving delivery boy Minato in CHERRY MAGIC!
And hats off to
@_JasonLord_
and
@Crunchyroll
for assembling an LGBTQ+ majority cast for this tender, funny, gloriously gay love story!
I know I realistically won't be able to play my characters forever, but I'd much prefer an actual human being to inherit them instead of some soulless AI replicant. It would be a disservice to them and an insult to me.
I remember recording the third season of BUNGO and wondering if there'd ever be a fourth, much less a fifth, a chibi spinoff and now in all likelihood a sixth. The reason BSD is flourishing is because of the fans. You're the reason we've gotten this far. Thank you.🔎💚
I'll be honest: VO is tough to break into without connections. Sometimes it seems like all of us have known each other for years and there's no room for fresh blood, but that isn't true. There are folks who champion new talent, and I'll always try my best to be one of them.
I'm currently in two shows about found families and parenting. In one I'm playing the parent. In the other I'm playing the kid. Life's funny sometimes.

#BungoStrayDogs
Gay voice actor known for soft bois, sadistic villains and cheeky bastards of every stripe! You've heard me in KAIJU NO. 8, DEMON SLAYER, JJK, CHAINSAW MAN, BUNGO STRAY DOGS, BUDDY DADDIES and hundreds of other projects! Also a screenwriter and horror fan!
Just a reminder that 🏳️🌈Pride is year round and not just during June! On the last day of pride month, I want to hear from all the queer voice actors. Sound off! Talk about yourself and what you have to offer the community.
I see you❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
So excited to make my

Happy Anime-versary, Kazuki! I was cast as this panicky papa a year ago today. Playing him changed my life in so many wonderful ways. Thanks

I'm both grateful and gobsmacked to report that my screenplay CORSICAN VENDETTA KNIFE WITH FLORAL DETAIL has advanced to the semifinals of the Academy Nicholl Fellowship competition, which puts it in the top 2% of 5,000+ scripts from over 80 different countries!
Today marks two years since my Texas move. ❤️🤠
Forever grateful for the folks who welcomed me with open arms, showed me the path and entrusted me with some of my all-time favorite characters.

The current casting model specializes in rewarding the well-established for being well-established and catapulting unknowns (who may or may not be prepared for the scrutinies of stardom) into the limelight. That tends to leave a lot of talented actors in the lurch.

Overjoyed to announce that my screenplay CORSICAN VENDETTA KNIFE WITH FLORAL DETAIL has advanced to the quarterfinals of the 2023 Academy Nicholl Fellowship competition! I'd like to thank the judges, my friends and family and, well, The Academy (yes, that Academy)!
Part of the fun of playing Future was getting to create a creepy fun character who would sound markedly different from Enmu. But they are alike in one important way: they both love to T-pose.

Before moving to DFW, I'd been cast in a grand total of 66 shows in my career. Now, less than a year later, that number stands at 103. Thanks Texas for welcoming me with open arms. And cheers to the wonderful LA studios who've stuck by me. Here's to keeping a foot in both worlds.

@SamFrishmanCESD
for trusting me with this "Iron" Quincy, whose philosophy is as cruel as his Reishi claws.
They're both praise-hungry geniuses with a flair for the dramatic, but Poe's morose grandiosity makes for a nice contrast to Ranpo's airy cheerfulness.
