John is thrilled to join us onsite Saturday for the EVA – Originals panel at 3pm, and will be available after for autographs.
John started down the road of anime in 1997, when he landed his first role in Golden Boy from ADV Films. Since then, John has gone on to voice hundreds shows and characters with FUNimation, ADV Films, Switchblade Films, Sentai Films, Okratron 5000, Gearbox, Seraphim Digital and Illumitoons just to name a few. John’s wife once quipped that there are certain actors who might be the “Brad Pitts” of anime but John is the “Kevin Bacon” of anime. Being more of the character actor type has given John the freedom to voice bazillions of characters such as Undertaker in Black Butler, Salvador in Borderlands II (VG), Gendo in Evangelion, Sgt. Hauser in Halo (VG), Lord Death in Soul Eater, Hoenheim in Fullmetal Alchemist, Sir Crocodile in One Piece, Dodoria in DBZ Kai, Kogoro in Sgt. Frog, Huang in Darker than Black, Hades in Fairy Tale, Zachary in Attack on Titan, Aramaki in Ghost in the Shell, and Jinnouchi in Summer Wars, as well as roles in the live action films 2009 Lost Memories, Conduct Zero, Yesterday, Jungle Juice, and the Gamera trilogy. Most recently you can catch John in the broadcast series of GANGSTA as Chad, and Akame Ga Kill as Bols as seen on Toonami. John is also very excited to be playing one of the title roles in Funimation’s theatrical release (March 2016) of Mamoru Hosoda’s film, The Boy and the Beast. John plays the Beast, Kametesu. In 2004, John jumped to the other side of the “mic” to direct. Some of the shows he has directed include Welcome to the N.H.K., AirGear, Wandaba Style, St. Seiya, Shadow Skill, E’s Otherwise, Michel, Jinki Extend and Shinobi (live action co-directed with longtime pal, Kyle Jones). John loves working in the world of anime as a director and voice actor! Currently John is working with pals Kyle Jones and Jay Hickman on an original animation full length movie called The Perfect Khan. In addition to anime, John has voiced thousands of radio and tv commercials – even acted in a few films. One of the coolest acting jobs was being the Beer Delivery Guy in Dazed and Confused.

used to have a very active career doing voice over in anime, but now she mainly just enjoys hanging out with her kid. (Though she and her husband just released an online web series called “A Mom’s Guide to Cannabis,” so look for it on her YouTube channel!) Most notably she voiced Rei in Evangelion, Momiji in Blue Seed, Rally Vincent in Gunsmith Cats, Yohko in Devil Hunter Yohko Mimiru in .hack//sign, Pandy in Dead Leaves, Nancy in the Read or Die OVA, and a bunch of others. She also wrote ADR scripts and did some directing, most notably for the first round of Evangelion movies, but with the aid of a talented therapist was able to break this self-destructive cycle. Her dream of living in artistic obscurity keeps suffering setbacks as she continues to get work in both the anime and the video game industry. Voicing Yukiko Amagi in Persona 4 franchise, Ichiko Ohya in P5, and Magnolia Arch in Bravely Second are amongst her latest crimes against humanity. Now she is adding “scribe” to her dubious list of achievements, which also includes Fount of Useless Information and General Pain in the Butt. You can check out how her twisted little mind works and read her story “Something Special” in the Summer Issue (Issue 5) of the Sky Island Journal (www.skyislandjournal.com). Her book The Noodle Chronicles: Everything I Know About Cheating Death I Learned From My Kid is available through the Amazon and Barnes & Noble websites, and all proceeds are donated to the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. Her goals are to revel in her status as an anime has-been and to achieve MILFdom. She shares the house with the unbelieveably sexy Jason Lee, their son, two ridiculous dogs, a cat, a bearded dragon, and a 70 lb. tortoise named “Methuselah.”
