George Newbern (born 1964) is an American actor who's worked as both an on-screen actor and a voice actor. As an on-screen actor, he's best known as Bryan MacKenzie in the
Father Of The Bride movies and Danny the Yeti on
Friends. As a voice actor he started his career as Ren on
The Pirates of Dark Water. However, as a voice actor, he's best known as the voice of
Superman and
Sephiroth.
His tenure as Superman started on
Justice League,
when he replaced Tim Daly, who'd voiced the character on
Superman: The Animated Series, but was busy with other obligations. After a rough start during the first season of
Justice League and a lot of complaining from fans, Newbern found his footing during the show's second season and was then embraced by fans as being a perfectly good Superman in his own right. Much like Daly did in
Superman: Brainiac Attacks, the
Superman/Batman movies and
Justice League: Doom, Newbern has also reprised the role of Superman in
The Batman,
Superman/Shazam!: The Return of Black Adam,
Superman vs. the Elite, and
Injustice: Gods Among Us.
As Sephiroth, he first got the role for
Kingdom Hearts II after he impressed the producers as Mevyn Nooj in
Final Fantasy X-2, replacing
Lance Bass, who voiced him in the first
Kingdom Hearts. Newbern also voiced Sephiroth in
Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children,
Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII,
Dissidia: Final Fantasy, and
Dissidia 012 Final Fantasy.
Other credits include Charlie in
Scandal, Apollo 14 astronaut Stu Roosa in
From the Earth to the Moon and the voice of the title character of the infamous
Theodore Rex.
