One of [[FU NimationFUNimation]]'s recent{{when}} rising voice actor stars with a distinct and recognizable voice, Todd Haberkorn's current claims to fame are [[D .Gray-man|Allen Walker]], [[Soul Eater|Death the Kid]], [[Fullmetal Alchemist (Mangamanga)|Ling Yao]], [[Fairy Tail|Natsu]], and [[Axis Powers Hetalia (Manga)|North Italy]]. He was also the host of "FUNimation Update". Though not pigeonholed yet, he's played some [[Bishonen]] with [[Berserk Button|berserk buttons]] recently, and is a shoe-in for being cast as bizarre, slimy, and insane characters. In fact, many people consider his casting as Watanuki from ''[[XXX Holic×××HOLiC]]'' to be virtually "written for him"! Can ad-lib incomprehensible, random scared noises like nobody's business, in the same vein as [[John Dimaggio]]. These days, he is starting to become ''much'' similar to [[Vic Mignogna]], having formed a friendship/video rivalry with said actor, started up his own fan team on Facebook, his presence is growing at cons, and the ''[[Fairy Tail]]'' commentary confirms that he is now officially stationed in Los Angeles instead of Texas!
 
Owns and runs his own film company, arising from Hollywood not knowing what to do with an Asian actor "who doesn't look stereotypically Asian but doesn't fit the standard lead appearance either." Fun Fact: [[Hey, ItsIt's That Guy!|he was once a cast member]] of ''[[Barney and Friends (TV)|Barney and Friends]]'' ([http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YrBd3lSint8 see here]). He had a supporting role in the [[Sy FySyfy]] original movie ''Scream of the Banshee''.
 
Showing just how similar to Vic Mignogna he has become, [https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/feature/2021-06-01/sailor-moon-got-me-into-this-business-and-im-exhausted/.173165 an allegation of "a sexual assault at Anime Central" in the early 2010s was made against him and then withdrawn.]

=== {{creatortropes|[[Sgt Frog|Permission to describe tropes relating to Todd, sir!]] ===}}
* [[Asian and Nerdy]]: high emphasis on the Asian part.<ref>He's [[But Not Too Foreign|half-Vietnamese]] for the record</ref>
* [[Friendly Rivalry]]: with [[Vic Mignogna]], not to mention their career paths and fanbase are nearly similar.
* [[Large Ham]]: [[Fairy Tail|Natsu]], [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Fp3nA3akeA as demonstrated].
* [[Man of a Thousand Voices]]
* [[Pigeonholed Voice Actor]]: A recurring joke within fans is that Todd is in every single anime dub done by Funimation. This is mostly true, as he's casted as [[The Protagonist]] of the series (or at least part of the protagonist cast). This includes, [[Keroro Gunsou|a very quirky loser frog soldier protagonist]], [[Rosario to+ Vampire|a harem protagonist]], [[Seto no Hanayome|a badass normal unlucky high school student protagonist]], [[Axis Powers Hetalia|a ditzy and very energetic protagonist who stereotypical represents (north) Italy]], [[Baccano (Light Novel)!|a somewhat protagonist character in a ridiculously large cast]], [[Soul Eater|a deuteragonist who hilarious takes symmetry as serious business]], and recently a '''[[Hot -Blooded]]''' '''[[Shonen]]''' [[Fairy Tail|protagonist]]. However, since he had moved to Los Angeles, he normally gets secondary or minor roles with [[FU NimationFUNimation]], and the lead character role is given to either newcomers like [[Micah Solusod]] and [[Josh Grelle]], or veterans like [[Greg Ayres]].
** He lampshaded this in one of his DVD commentaries for ''[[Axis Powers Hetalia]]'', where he comments "When they need a voice for the whiny nancy boy-ish character, they cast the nerdy half-Asian guy."
* [[Promoted Fanboy]]: Wouldn't you believe he'll be playing as '''[[The Spock|Spock]]''' in the [[Star Trek]] fan webseries?
** Also, Todd voicing '''''[[The Legend of Zelda|LINK]]'''''.
* [[Tattoo Asas Character Type]]: [[Word of God|He said]] he is considering getting a tattoo of Natsu after the 100th episode of Fairy Tail has been dubbed (Funimation picked up 48 out of 124 episodes, so that's a long way to go).
