| 9 | Don Rafael "Sonny" Strait Jr. (born June 28, 1965 in Kaufman, Texas) is an American comic artist and voice actor (mainly anime related). He is best known as Krillin from ''Franchise/DragonBall''; the first voice of Creator/{{Toonami}}'s mascot, TOM; Maes Hughes from ''Manga/FullmetalAlchemist''; and the current voice of [[Characters/OnePieceUsopp Usopp]] from ''Manga/OnePiece''. |
| 10 | |
| 11 | He and his friend William "Bill" Foster made a comic called ''Muff Dyver and the Sex Gophers From Hell'' and, after being noticed by some local celebrities in the small college town Denton, Texas, they went on to make more such as ''The Atomic Punk'' and ''Mr. Average''. |
| 12 | |
| 13 | His first voice audition was as Krillin (from the hit anime series ''Dragon Ball''). He mainly works with Creator/FUNimation. |
| 14 | |
| 15 | Besides his voice acting career, Strait has also penciled several comic strips as well as two stories for the ''ComicBook/ElfQuest'' series. |
| 16 | |
| 17 | Strait was under contract to publish a manga titled ''Webcomic/WeShadows'' with Tokyopop. The first volume debuted in August 2007 and was nominated shortly after for YALSA's Great Graphic Novels for Teens list in 2008. However, when Tokyopop went belly-up, the rights to the series reverted to Strait, who has revived it as a {{Webcomic}}. |
| 18 | |
| 19 | His most recent work is an online comic, ''Car Bombs''. He and his wife also sing in a cover band called White Girl. |
