Anime Boston 2018 Announces its Sixth Round of North American Guests
Voice Actors J. Michael Tatum and Brandon McInnis to appear at the Northeast's largest anime convention
Boston - Anime Boston, the largest anime convention in New England, announced its sixth round of North American guests of honor today. Voice Actors J. Michael Tatum and Brandon McInnis will be appearing at Anime Boston at the Hynes Convention Center, Boston, Mass, on March 30 through April 1, 2018.
J. Michael Tatum was nurtured on anime classics including Star Blazers, et al. This reclusive fanboy-turned-voice actor/writer/ADR Director/flake extraordinaire 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.
Discovered by Funimation warhorse Christopher Bevins, who cast him as Rikichi in 2005's Samurai 7, Tatum's inexplicable luck has held long enough to see his flag hoisted on a slew of dream roles, most notably Kyoya Otori in Ouran High School Host Club, suave, demonic Sebastian Michaelis in Black Butler, France in the Hetalia franchise, Tomoe from Kamisama Kiss, and the equal parts maniacal/vulnerable Okarin Rintarō from Steins;Gate. More Recently, Tatum can be heard in the epic My Hero Academia as Teyna Iida.
Brandon McInnis is a voice, stage, and film actor who has worked as a translator and interpreter in Japan.
Credits include Frodo Baggins in The Lord of the Rings Online, Keita Amano in Gamers!, Samon Gokū in NANBAKA, Horatio Kojas in Knight's & Magic, Corteo in 91 Days, Sōnosuke Izayoi in Danganronpa 3, Dr. Love in ēlDLIVE, Patrick Phelps in Black Butler, Ryūji in Shōnen Maid, Ken Sudō in Classroom of the Elite, Merlane in Heroic Legend of Arslan, Hideyori Toyotomi in Samurai Warriors, Atsushi Toushirō in Touken Ranbu, Alain Lernier in Joker Game, Erlang Shen in SMITE, Bartholomew in CONfessionals, and more.
