[[J. Michael Tatum]] is one of the newer American voice actors and ADR directors working for [[FUNimation]]. Notably breaking out with Kyoya of ''[[Ouran High School Host Club]]'', his roles seem to have an academic, calm, cool, and collected theme...though that can [[Not So Stoic|break]] every once in a while. He's also one of the co-hosts of ''[[That Anime Show]]'' with Terri Doty.
 
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]].

=== Tropes concerning Michael and his roles: ===
 
* [[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.
