You thought Andrew Chaikin would reprise his role as the English voice of DIO, BUT IT WAS I, PATRICK SEITZ!
We have to move closer if we want to describe your sorry ass in detail.Patrick Seitz (born March 17, 1978 in Riverside, California) has, by his own estimation, worked on over 100 projects since his initial foray into the voiceover industry in 2001 with the Geneon OVA Amazing Nurse Nanako. While probably best known for his involvement with more popular titles like Bleach and Hellsing, Seitz has also received acclaim for his work in niche titles, such as Koi Kaze as Koshiro Saeki, Paradise Kiss as Joji "George" Koizumi, and Tales of Phantasia as Dhaos. Seitz is often cast as villains or enigmatic heroes, in keeping with his deep voice, although a few other projects (e.g. Ouran High School Host Club, One Piece, Red Line, and Bleach) have featured him going higher and zanier.
On the other side of the mic, Seitz adapted and directed the English dubs of the raunchy teen romp Girls Bravo, the slice-of-life Kamichu!, the mystery drama Monster, and the previously-mentioned fantasy OVA Tales of Phantasia, in addition to adapting over 100 episodes of other series.
Seitz has been moderately active in the anime convention circuit over the last few years, putting in over two dozen appearances throughout North America since mid-2005.
Prior to his current level of involvement in the voiceover industry, Seitz taught English at his high school alma mater, and received a BA in Creative Writing and an MFA in Creative Writing & Writing for the Performing Arts (both from UC Riverside).
Cool fact: with a beard, he almost looks like Adam Savage.

You thought these tropes would belong to Johnny, but it was I, Patrick!
- The Ahnold: Not... exactly one. But he sure proves that he can do Ahnuld impressions, combined with South American tone, like Chaac.
- Evil Sounds Deep: When he plays a bad guy, this trope is definitely in effect.
- Fake Brit: As Dio Brando in the dub of Part 1 on Jo Jos Bizarre Adventure Phantom Blood.
- Gentle Giant: Much like Travis (again), Seitz has a large stature, but is quite jovial and friendly.
- Guttural Growler: Some of the characters he voices, like Sloth and Dracula, sound like they eat gravel for breakfast, and sound all the more menacing for it.
- Jerkass: Not him obviously, but some of his more notable roles.
- Large Ham: Some of his more notable roles such as Captain Bravo and Sky High have him pull this off in spades.
- And as of the Jojo's Bizarre Adventure dub, he gets to REALLY show off as Dio Brando.
- Motor Mouth: During the famous Road Roller scene in Jo Jos Bizarre Adventure Stardust Crusaders, he actually manages to out-MUDA his Japanese counterpart, Takehito Koyasu.
- The Other Darrin: Became the voice for Zelos, Blazing Souls' protagonist, after Yuri Lowenthal has done his voice in Chaos Wars. He's also replaced Travis Willingham for more than a few roles.
- Scary Black Man: Not one in real life, but thanks to his voice, Seitz has gotten a few roles as Scary Black Guys. See Pippin, Agil, Simon, Lucian, Mason, Basilio, and TJ Combo.
- Star-Making Role: While he initially had a few fairly major roles here and there, usually as villains and/or relatives of a main character, it was his role as Ragna the Bloodedge that propelled him into one of the most prolific voice actors in anime and video games. In a more mainstream sense, he's also played Scorpion.
- Typecasting: Mostly averted as while he's usually cast as jerkish characters, he plays everything from idealistic Nice Guys to Manipulative Bastards
- And as of Dawn of War - Armless failures.
- And with the announcement that he will be voicing Dio Brando, vampires.
- And of course he plays Artanis in StarCraft II. Artanis happens to be one of the good guys. And a Protoss.
- He has joked good-naturedly that whenever he works alongside Crispin Freeman, Freeman's character always winds up killing his character.
