A voice actor with a distinct and recognizable voice, Todd Michael Haberkorn's (born August 16, 1982 in Arlington, Texas) current claims to fame are Allen Walker, Death the Kid, Ling Yao, Natsu Dragneel, and North Italy. He was also the host of "FUNimation Update". He's played some Bishōnen with berserk buttons, and tends to be a shoe-in for being cast as bizarre, eccentric, shady, and insane characters. In fact, many people consider his casting as Watanuki from ×××HOLiC to be virtually "written for him"! Can ad-lib incomprehensible, random scared noises like nobody's business, in the same vein as John DiMaggio. He's quite similar to Vic Mignogna, having formed a friendship/video rivalry with said actor, started up his own fan team on Facebook, his presence is growing at cons, and the Fairy Tail commentary confirms that he is now officially stationed in Los Angeles instead of Texas! It doesn't help that their voices fall into similar niches; they've voiced characters that shared Japanese seiyuus a number of times. He has also performed in more games such as Street Fighter IV.
Other than Vic Mignogna, he also tends to appear a lot with Cherami Leigh since not only do they play both Natsu and Lucy, but they started working in Funimation around the same time, as well as moving to Los Angeles around the same time as well. He also shares a lot of roles with Jun Fukuyama as well (notably as Watanuki).
He owns and runs his own film company, arising from Hollywood not knowing what to do with an Asian actor "who doesn't look stereotypically Asian but doesn't fit the standard lead appearance either."note

Bring forth salvation towards these tropes!
- Color Blind Casting: He plays Spock in Star Trek Continues despite being half-Asian. This is because Vic Mignogna wanted him for the part, to take advantage of their established Friendly Rivalry dynamic (see below). However, the other producers wanted him to play Sulu instead, a suggestion Haberkorn balked at, deeming it not worth the time or effort to participate, and they relented. (The role of Sulu was eventually stunt-cast with non-actor Grant Imahara.)
- Man of a Thousand Voices: He can go from Keroro and Italy to Joseph, Rowen, Izumo, Sugou Nobuyuki and Betelgeuse.
- He plays Rowen in Tales of Xillia and shows just how flexible he is by playing a VERY good elderly man to the point where many did not believe it really was him!
- Pigeonholed Voice Actor: At the start of his career when working with Funimation, he was often cast into the main protagonist role such as Allen, Natsu, North Italy, Keroro, Kinji, Tsukune and Nagasumi. When he moved to Los Angeles, his typecast was shifted into more villainous characters such as Judar, Sugou Nobuyuki, Jadeite, Phil, Baatar Jr., Xenolith, Sho Minazuki and Betelgeuse. In fact, his villainous typecast is more recognized within the anime fans nowadays than his previous main protagonist typecast when he worked with Funimation.
- He lampshaded this in one of his DVD commentaries for Hetalia: Axis Powers, where he comments "When they need a voice for the whiny nancy boy-ish character, they cast the nerdy half-Asian guy."
"Hasta la pasta!~" Now I've got fire in my belly, i'm all fired up now!. *proceeds to punch someone* How Slothful!
