His best-known roles included the voices of Rito Revolto in ''Series/MightyMorphinPowerRangers'' and ''Series/PowerRangersZeo'', Shadowborg in ''Big Bad Series/{{Beetleborgs}}'', Scorpix in ''Beetleborgs Metallix'', and Deviot in ''Series/PowerRangersLostGalaxy''. ''VideoGame/DynastyWarriors'' players will recognize him as the original voice actor of [[BoisterousBruiser Zhang Fei]]. Aside from acting, he also taught kickboxing and other martial arts.
