13 | [[Literature/FateZero Rejoice, Troper. Crispin Freeman will be described here.]] |
14 | |
15 | Crispin [=McDougal=] Freeman (born February 9, 1972 in UsefulNotes/{{Chicago}}, Illinois) is one of the more popular voice actors in the business, and, well, what can we say, the guy's got talent for characters that are HotBlooded or [[SmugSnake smug]] or [[{{Jerkass}} a complete jerk]] or [[TheCape heroic]] or [[DeadpanSnarker snarky]] or badass or... just about anything. |
16 | |
17 | Crispin seems to be fascinated by the use of myths in anime, and regularly hosts panels at cons on the subject. He's also a fan of Creator/HayaoMiyazaki, and finally got the chance to provide a voice for the dub of ''Anime/HowlsMovingCastle'' with the (albeit minor) role of Prince Justin. He's also quite fond of Opera and actually sang some at a convention. |
18 | |
19 | He seems to be cast alongside Creator/QuintonFlynn frequently, in addition to either [[Anime/WolfsRain fighting]] [[Anime/LastExile side]]-[[Anime/WitchHunterRobin by]]-[[Literature/HaruhiSuzumiya side]] [[Anime/EurekaSeven with]] or harboring a [[Anime/CodeGeass personal]] [[Literature/{{Durarara}} grudge]] against Creator/JohnnyYongBosch [[Literature/FateZero o]][[VideoGame/{{Judgment}} r]] Creator/MatthewMercer. His sister is actress Creator/CassidyFreeman. No relation to Creator/LizzieFreeman or now-retired Creator/{{Funimation}} voice actor Creator/ScottFreeman. |
20 | |
21 | He also has a podcast entitled ''Podcast/VoiceActingMastery'', focusing on providing tips, tricks, and insider information on becoming a voice actor. |
22 | |
23 | [[UsefulNotes/UnionsInHollywood Due to union bylaws]], Crispin stopped doing non-union voice work since 2005, but still continues to do union voice work in anime occasionally. |
24 | |
25 | Has [[Manga/{{Hellsing}} dubbed]] [[Literature/FateZero over]] [[Anime/FateGrandOrderAbsoluteDemonicFrontBabylonia several]] [[Anime/FateGrandCarnival roles]] of Japan's Creator/JojiNakata. |
26 | |
27 | Also has a [[https://www.crispinfreeman.com personal website]] and a Website/{{YouTube}} [[https://www.youtube.com/user/crispinfreeman account]]. |

144 | ---- |
145 | !![[Videogame/EpicSeven Correct your tropes!]]: |
146 | * AxCrazy: Some of his most renowned roles. For example, [[Manga/{{Hellsing}} Alucard]]. |
147 | * DeadpanSnarker: Some of his roles, particularly Kyon. |
148 | * LargeHam: When push comes to shove (i.e. the director tells him to), he can pull it off very well. Case in point: [[Anime/CodeGeass Orange]]. |
149 | * ManOfAThousandVoices: AxCrazy psychopaths, [[TroubledButCute brooding young men]], badasses, {{Large Ham}}s, {{Badass Normal}}s... this man can do all of them and more. Just check out [[http://www.crispinfreeman.com/ his demo reel]]. |
150 | * PigeonholedVoiceActor: At the start of his career, he was often cast as [[{{Bishonen}} young and handsome men in anime]]. After joining the union, he branched out into a wider variety of roles. |
151 | * PlayingAgainstType: |
152 | ** Compared to his more well-known roles, [[VideoGame/MetalGearRisingRevengeance Sundowner]] has a higher-pitched, raspier voice, and a deep southern accent. |
153 | ** He uses the same voice above for [[VideoGame/BatmanArkhamOrigins Firefly]], only without the accent. |
154 | ** His role in ''VideoGame/JusticeLeagueHeroes'' was ''[[TheCape freakin' Superman]]''. |
155 | ** In ''Manga/{{Chobits}}'', he plays the main character, an AccidentalPervert and UnluckyEverydude. |
156 | ** In ''WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse'' he plays Doug Maheswaran, Connie's somewhat dorky but caring father. |
157 | * PromotedFanboy: |
158 | ** The man's a big anime nerd and a fan of Creator/HayaoMiyazaki, and was able to score a [[TheCameo small role]] in ''Anime/HowlsMovingCastle''. |
159 | ** He's also a fan of ''WesternAnimation/{{Gargoyles}}'' and got to work with series creator Creator/GregWeisman on ''WesternAnimation/TheSpectacularSpiderMan'' and ''WesternAnimation/YoungJustice2010''. |
160 | * StarMakingRole: As Zelgadis Graywords in ''Literature/{{Slayers}}'' and Alucard in ''Anime/{{Hellsing}}'' (the latter as a California-based voice actor). |
161 | * WhatCouldHaveBeen: He was nearly [[VisualNovel/FateStayNight Archer]][[note]]That role was taken by Creator/LiamOBrien since Freeman was a [[UsefulNotes/UnionsInHollywood union-only]] actor whilst Liam was Fi Core and that the dub was non-union. Freeman did voice Kirei Kotomine in ''Literature/FateZero'' and ''Anime/FateStayNightUnlimitedBladeWorks'', [[TheOtherDarrin replacing]] Creator/JamiesonPrice.[[/note]], [[Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann Kamina]][[note]]That role was taken by Creator/KyleHebert[[/note]], [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII Sephiroth]][[note]]Taken by Creator/GeorgeNewbern[[/note]], and [[Anime/CowboyBebop Vincent Volaju]][[note]]Taken by Creator/DaranNorris[[/note]]. |
