Juan Chioran (born June 18, 1963 in Alberti, Argentina) is a Canadian actor of Argentinean descent.
While most often associated with his stage roles at Stratford, Ontario's Stratford Shakespeare Festival (and occasionally other major Canadian theatre companies), he does quite a bit of voice acting on the sides. As a result, you've probably heard his voice at least once in any cartoon that uses Toronto voice actors. He's usually typecast as villainous characters, as seen in such shows as Fangbone!, Di-Gata Defenders, Grossology, and Skyland. However, he has done some different roles as well, such as in Blaster's Universe, Jane and the Dragon, D.N. Ace, and Harry and His Bucket Full of Dinosaurs.
He does have a few live-action roles to his name as well though, but none of them are particularly notable compared to his animated and theatrical work.
