J. Michael Tatum: Difference between revisions

[[File:J_Michael_Tatum_Headshot_5863.gif|frame]]

 

 

Is known to be [[One of Us|a huge nerd]] who is particularly enamored with classy things like Literature with a capital L. Namely, really thick books and [[Shakespeare]]. He once read ''Beowolf'' in Old English. This works to his advantage whenever they need a script writer for a show with tons of intellectual content or sophisticated grammar (''[[Hero Tales]]'', ''[[Ouran High School Host Club]]''). However, he is also a fan of many other considerably less intellectual things, such as ''[[Doctor Who]]''.

 

Not entirely unlike a Texas equivalent of [[Crispin Freeman]]; both actors have a very similar vocal range, both play similar characters, both are anime fans themselves, both share a similar academic/intellectual bent off-the-job, and both have dubbed roles [[Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex|originally]] [[Rebuild of Evangelion|voiced by]] [[Koichi Yamadera]].

 

* Toma in ''[[Aquarion]]''

* France (Francis Bonnefoy) in ''[[Axis Powers Hetalia]]''

* Jiro Mochizuki in ''[[Black Blood Brothers]]''

* Sebastian Michaelis in ''[[Black Butler]]''

* Wabisuke Jinnouchi in ''[[Summer Wars]]''

* Seishiro Sakurazaka in ''[[Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle]]''

 

* [[Adorkable]]: In real life. However, he tends not to play these characters very often in fiction because of the lower register of his voice.

* [[Cluster F-Bomb]]: On ''[[That Anime Show]]'', though it's a bit less noticeable with Terri as the cohost.

* [[Large Ham]]: Eneru, William, Isaac, France.

* [[Mean Character, Nice Actor]]: Sebastian, while [[Affably Evil]], is still Evil with a capital E, and somewhat terrifying (unless you're an obsessive fangirl). However, Mr. Tatum is one of the friendliest, sweetest, funniest men you could ever hope to meet.

* [[One of Us]]: Pretty big ''[[Doctor Who]]'' fanboy to say the least, and he did ''not'' turn down the chance to be on ''Pokemon'' even if it meant flying to New York. He has quoted ''[[Family Guy]]'' on a few occasions.

* [[Pigeonholed Voice Actor]]: either [[The Stoic]] or the [[Villains]]. However...

* [[The Stoic]]: some of his characters are like this, particularly Kyoya

* [[Stoic Spectacles]]: Kyoya and Scar, not to mention his own.

* [[Villains]]: If he's not voicing a stoic, then he's most likely to voice a villain. Some of the well known villains he voiced included [[Fullmetal Alchemist|an anti-villain turned anti-hero]], [[Soul Eater|an Ax Crazy villain]], and recently [[Black Butler|a villain protagonist]]. According to him, this is one of his favorite tropes he like to voice with.
