Eric Stuart

Eric Stuart (born October 18, 1967) is an American voice actor and voice director who worked for 4Kids Entertainment, NYAV Post, and Central Park Media. He provides voices for English dubs of anime, cartoons, and video games. He is also a singer, songwriter, guitarist, and the lead singer of his own music band called the Eric Stuart band.

Life and career

Stuart was born in Brooklyn, New York, to a modern dancer mother and a criminal attorney father.^[1] He is known for doing several English-dubbed anime voices at 4Kids Entertainment, NYAV Post, and Central Park Media, like Brock and James from Pokémon (the first 10 years, seasons 1-8), Seto Kaiba from Yu-Gi-Oh!, Gourry Gabriev from Slayers, and many others.

As a stage performer, he has toured with Peter Frampton (1999, 2000), Ringo Starr (1997), Lynyrd Skynyrd (1997), and has opened for Jethro Tull (1997), Julian Cope (1995), Hall & Oates (1997, 1998), and Chicago (1995, 1997, 1998) as well.^[2] While influenced by many artists (such as Buddy Holly, Bruce Springsteen, Cat Stevens, Elvis Presley, Neil Diamond, Jim Croce, and The Beatles), his own musical style does not conform to any specific genre. Much of his music follows the styles of rock, folk, or country. His band has released six albums and one EP to date, five of which are presently available worldwide.
