DAN GREEN....OK, maybe it does. Dan Green is a voice actor from New York who has worked for a number of ADR studios, most notably
4Kids. His best-known roles are both "forms" of the title character in
Yu-Gi-Oh!, and Knuckles in the
Sonic X anime as well as in the games proper from 2005-2009. Somewhat more infamously, his voice can also be found in several
Video Brinquedo dubs and at least a few Hentai (though naturally he leaves the porn off his résumé).
Green is known for his 3 vocal ranges: normal, little kid, and
Large and in Charge. The last one is especially notorious due to his
Cheesy Awesome voice acting for Yami Yugi in
Yu-Gi-Oh! propelling him to
Internet stardom, putting him on par with
Crispin Freeman,
Scott McNeil, and
Christopher Sabat as the
Ensemble Big Guys of Voice Acting.
In late 2011, Dan became a real-life
woobie. His wife, voice actress Michal Friedman, died from complications in giving birth to their twin boys, leaving him a widower with two new mouths to feed. This, coupled with the continuing decline of the NYC voice acting scene (4Kids shut down a few months later after years of hemorrhaging money), prompted Green to retire from voice acting for the foreseeable future.
Has a vocal doppelgänger in the form of England's Martin Billany, a.k.a. Little Kuriboh of
Yu Gi Oh The Abridged Series fame.
Either Dan or someone with his name (it's a common name)
inks/has inked comic books.
