Brad Swaile: Light Yagami's English Dub Actor to Appear at Matsuricon 2014

26/5/2014

Brad Swaile - the actor immortalized in the English Death Note world as the voice behind Light Yagami - will be in Ohio meeting fans this August.

Yagami's voice actor has been booked to appear at Matsuricon 2014, which will be held on August 22nd-24th, at the Hyatt Regency Columbus. As the name of the hotel/conference center suggests, this will be in Columbus, Ohio, USA.
Brad Swaile hails from Vancouver, Canada. He was 31 years old when he took the lead role in the English dub Death Note anime. It's his voice that launched a thousand parodies on a theme of, 'I take this potato chip and EAT IT!'

A little known fact is that he reprised the role of Light Yagami for the English dubs of the Death Note Live Action movies.

In addition to Death Note, Brad Swaile has provided the voices for:

  • Rock in Black Lagoon;
  • Dearka Elsman in Gundam Seed;
  • Auel Neider in Gundam Seed Destiny;
  • Amuro Ray in Char's Counterattack;
  • Quatre Raberba Winner in Mobile Suit Gundam;
  • Mousse in Ranma 1/2;
  • Some additional Voices in the Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog;
  • Gohan in Dragonball Z;
  • Fujiwara-no-Sai in Hikaru no Go;
  • Ace in My Little Pony Tales;
  • Johnny Cosmo in Powerpuff Girls;
  • The Soul Taker Kyosuke Date in SoulTaker;
  • Kimba in The New Adventures of Kimba The White Lion;
  • Chad (Kicker) Jones in Transformers: Energon;
  • Nightcrawler in X-Men Evolution;
       and many more besides.


He's also provided the voices for video games characters, notably Amuro Ray in all of the Dynasty Warriors and Mobile Suit Gundam games, plus Brent Ernst (Slappy) in Dead Rising 2 and Jin Kazama in Street Fighter X Tekken.

When he's not acting, Brad Swaile utilizes his degree in Graphic and Visual Design by working as an illustrator.

If he sits on a panel, I'm betting he'll get a potato chip quote request or two. :|

I've never heard of this con though. I think the CA equivalent is Comicon.

We'd all be thinking it, even if we don't say it. LOL

I'd love to go to an American Convention. You all do it so much bigger over there.

We haven't heard anything for months, but the last I heard it was all still happening. It's just that Shane Black had a couple of other movies to make first. He prioritized another one, because he was being messed around with the studio wanting to make Kira a good guy! LOL He got his way in the end though.
