Happy Birthday David Matranga! His Tomoya Okazaki is honestly perfect IMO, really nailed the character's personality down to a T.

@Travaughn13 I suggest you watch Maid Sama. Matranga's performance in that series is absolutely phenomenal

Happy birthday David Matranga, the Dave Wittenberg of Texas

Noteworthy performances include Tomoya Okazaki, Wolf Man, Briareos Hecatonchires, Hideki Hinata, and Bertolt Hoover

A pretty interesting role is Hakama Shiranui is Medaka Box, where he voices an elderly character as ipposed to an older teen or young adult, and he manages to a good job as that character.

Here's hoping we could see him more in Dallas or even LA dubs if he gets the chance.

Happy Birthday David Matranga! My Favorite Anime I seen you do was Clannad as Tomoya & Attack on Titan as Berholt.

This guy's great at most adult roles, but pretty terrible at teenager roles.

@CodeSOLMachine I think some of his best performances were teenagers. Angel Beats and Clannad were absolutely flawless for him.

@Fancy Ken Angel Beats and Clannad were kinda what I meant when I said "pretty terrible at teenager roles".

Fancy Ken

@CodeSOLMachine And those are the roles he was best at.

CodeSOLMachine

@Fancy Ken I have to disagree. I think he's great at other roles, such as Pharos Heracles, but his Tomoya was laughably bad.

@CodeSOLMachine I really have to disagree with you on his Tomoya being bad. I think his voice fit really well with the character and it was one of the voices I liked in the Clannad dub which I admit has some flaws with the script and some of the choices.

Happy birthday to one of my favourite actors from the Houston voice acting scene. Whether he's playing hero's you want to cheer for like Tomoya Okazaki from Clannad, cyborgs like Briareos from Appleseed and a space pirate in Captain Harlock.

Happy Birthday David Matranga.

He just made Hideki Hinata in Angel Beat! I hope to see him in more future FUNimation dubs or a move to LA.

He was also excellent as Tomoya Okazaki in the Clannad dub, brought a lot of passion to the role.

Clannad wasn't a perfect dub but he was the ideal voice for Tomoya and both and Luci Christian's Nagisa had great chemistry.

Happy Birthday David Matranga!

Something I've noticed with David Matranga when he's played roles like Harlock & Briareos, he does a rather impressive David Hayter voice for them. If anything I'd like to see Matranga play Solid Snake if ever he moved to California and got involved in MGS.

Now that he's voiced licensed titles at Funimation such as Appleseed XIII and Wolf Children, I'm expecting him to make more trips to Dallas.

Only a matter of time he lands a role on a licensed Funimation title.

It will be a while before the One Piece dub will introduce the character, but I think David would be a great Trafalgar Law.

If Funimation or Sentai filmworks were to get a future Gundam series, I can see him voicing one of the main Gundam pilots or the antagonist.

He might be reprising his role for Appleseed XIII. That would be his first Funimation title.

If it happens, hopefully he'll get more opportunities after that.

He was great in the Clannad franchise, Angel Beats, Towa no Quon and Mardock Scramble.

I agree in the hope of reprising the role of Briareos Hecatonchires for Appleseed XIII. He's overdue a trip to Funimation for projects.

Great actor who you can expect to be in almost any dub by Sentai Filmworks.

A lot of great roles and I know it's just a minor one but for some reason I really like his voice for JJ in Golgo 13.

It's so different from his other roles and also hilarious.
