John started down the road of anime in 1997 when he landed his first role in Golden Boy at ADV Films. Since then, John has gone on to voice hundreds of shows and characters with Sentai Films, Funimation, Rooster Teeth, ADV Films, Switchblade Films, Okratron 5000, Gearbox, Seraphim Digital and Illumitoons. John’s wife once quipped that certain actors might be the “Brad Pitt” of anime but John is the “Kevin Bacon” of anime.

Being a character actor has allowed John the freedom to voice bazillions of characters such as All for One in My Hero Academia, Kumatetsu, The Beast in The Boy and the Beast, Bols in Akame Ga Kill, Undertaker in Black Butler, Salvador in Borderlands II (VG), Gendo in Evangelion, Lord Death in Soul Eater, Hohenheim in Fullmetal Alchemist, Sir Crocodile in One Piece, Dodoria in DBZ Kai, Hades in Fairy Tale, Zachary in Attack on Titan, Aramaki in Ghost in the Shell, Jinnouchi in Summer Wars, and El Rey in Nomad of Nowhere, as well as roles in hundreds of radio and TV commercials and numerous live-action films including the ever popular spoof Lake Texarkana Gamera and the cult classic, Dazed and Confused.

In 2004, John jumped to the other side of the “mic” to direct tons of shows. His recent directorial projects include Domestic Girlfriend, BangDream, Revue Starlight, Senryu Girl, and Doreiku.
