Ray Chase is perhaps best known for his wildly differing performances in a vast array of anime and video games. From his dual turn as hero and villain Sukuna and Choso in JUJUTSU KAISEN, to the flashy Sound Hashira Tengen Uzui in DEMON SLAYERs, protagonist Noctis in FINAL FANTASY XV, to high judge Neuvillette in GENSHIN IMPACT.

In the Anime world Robbie Daymond might be best known as the most prolific voice of Tuxedo Mask in Sailor Moon. He’s also played countless lead and fan-favorite roles such as: Megumi in Jujutsu Kaisen, Oden in One Piece, Mitsuki in Boruto, Chrollo in HxH, & many, MANY more

Nurtured on anime classics from the tender age of Star Blazers, this reclusive actor/writer spent more years than he cares to remember in what might charitably be called free-fall before landing, mostly by accident, smack dab on the industry of his dreams. To this day, some believe the small crater made by the impact remains the source of his power.
