He has a production company, Monkey Kingdom Productions, with his wife, Tara Platt, where they have produced several feature films and a live-action web series called Shelf Life. He co-authored the book Voice-Over Voice Actor.

Early life and education

Yuri Lowenthal was born in Alliance, Ohio but raised in Nashville, Tennessee, [7] later moving to Northern Virginia. [8] [9] His father worked for the United States Agency for International Development and he spent two years in Niger in Africa. [8] He did not do much acting until the end of high school when he tried out for drama class in his senior year, but it was enough to get him interested in acting. [10] His early exposure to anime was from shows such as Speed Racer , Star Blazers , and Battle of the Planets . [11]

At The College of William & Mary in Williamsburg, Virginia, he took classes in theatre but majored in East Asian studies where in his third year, he studied abroad in Osaka, Japan. [12] He also participated in the school's gymnastics program and ROTC. [8] After graduating in 1993, he joined the Japan Exchange and Teaching Programme (JET) where he served as a Coordinator of International Relations, helping out foreign English teachers in Shiga Prefecture. While at JET, he continued to participate in theatre and acting. [8] [10] [12] After two years there, he still wanted to try acting full-time, and moved to New York City and participated in theatre in shows that were off-off-Broadway. [8] He spent six years in New York doing theatre and indie films. [10] [12] [13] [14]

Voice-over career

Yuri Lowenthal moved to Los Angeles and worked in live-action and theatre roles. [15] [16] [17] To supplement his on-camera work, he and his wife Tara Platt took a voice-over class that was taught by Rick Zieff. [8] [10] Zieff later happened to be directing the English dub for an anime show called SD Gundam Force ; he got his first ever anime dub role there and soon tried out for other anime roles as well as other voice-over work in animation, commercials, and video games. Lowenthal recalled that his first voice appearance in a video game might have also been for SD Gundam Force. [18]

Lowenthal's first major role in video game voice-overs was as the Prince in Ubisoft's Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time . In an interview with Critical Gamer, he describes that role as "a very lucky break for me, because it ended up being a super game. We audition all the time for all different kinds of projects, and video games are one part of that, a part that I love." He said that "[he felt] that [he] in a way originated that role". Lowenthal did not return to voice the Prince in Warrior Within, being replaced by Robin Atkin Downes. Lowenthal felt that this was a conscious decision by Ubisoft to fit in with the game's overall tonal shift and thought it was the right decision. For The Two Thrones, he returned to play the role, as fans had stated their preference for his portrayal of the character. [19] The Prince became one of Lowenthal's favorite roles, and he was pleased to return to the role for The Forgotten Sands. [20] According to Lowenthal, his well-received performance put pressure on him in future games from both fans and staff, as he needed to remain true to and improve on his original portrayal. This ultimately gave him little creative freedom with the character after The Sands of Time. [18] For the reboots following the live-action films, the staff wanted a different portrayal of the Prince to Lowenthal's, and so recast the role. [19]

Lowenthal continued voicing in other anime shows, including the lead character Haru Glory in Rave Master , which had a run on Cartoon Network's Toonami line up. [21] He also voiced a character in Zatch Bell! which had a notable run on Cartoon Network. He starred in a number of anime shows such as: Girls Bravo where he played Yukinari, [22] Scrapped Princess where he voiced Leo Skorpus, [23] Kyo Kara Maoh , where he voiced Yuuri Shibuya, and Saiyuki Reload where he voiced Son Goku. [1] When he auditioned for Naruto , which was being directed by the same person who did Rave Master, he had tried out for multiple roles including Sasuke Uchiha and Iruka, and got a call back for Sasuke. In an interview with Silionera, Lowenthal said that "It certainly allows me to go to some dark places as the series continues. And it makes Sasuke that much more interesting as a character. And that much more fun to play." [23] The Naruto anime became one of the more popular anime shows in the U.S., [24] and its sequel Naruto Shippuden has also aired on Adult Swim. [25]

In 2007, Lowenthal was cast as Jinnosuke, aka "Kuma", a teddy-bear-headed warrior, in the anime feature Afro Samurai which starred Samuel L. Jackson as the title character. In an interview with Eastern Kicks, Lowenthal said that what he liked about Jinno was that he "starts off as one guy and ends up in a very different, very very dark place. Plus I got to kick Sam Jackson's ass. And they keep bringing him back from the dead for me to play again. And he's a twin-sword-wielding insane cyborg death machine with a giant teddy bear head. What's not to like?" [26] He also said that they recorded the voicing for Afro Samurai separately so he did not get to meet Jackson personally until a release party for the related video game years later. [8] [26] Luke Carroll of Anime News Network described Lowenthal's voicing as a "good performance" but "not enough to make it more than an average dub at best". [27] Dennis Amith of J-ENT! thought the voice acting was well done. [28] Lowenthal would reprise the role in the 2009 feature Afro Samurai: Resurrection . [29] [30] Steve Fritz of Newsarama wrote "The action sequencing is still top notch, and the vocal performances from Jackson, [Lucy] Liu, Lowenthal and company is on the money." [31]

Other lead roles in anime include Suzaku Kururugi in Code Geass , which ran on Adult Swim, [32] and Simon in Gurren Lagann , which ran on Toonami.

In 2006, Lowenthal landed the role of Superman in the animated series Legion of Super Heroes . In an interview with The Oklahoman , Lowenthal recalled that he read for Lightning Lad and Brainiac 5 in the original audition, and was called back to do Superman. During the callback, he had begun reading for Superman and Brainiac 5 when the producers stopped him. He was later informed that he got the main role, and they did not need to hear more of him on other parts. [33]

In 2008, Lowenthal provided the voice of 15-year-old Ben Tennyson in Ben 10: Alien Force . [34] [35] Set five years after the original series, the premiere of Alien Force set ratings records for Cartoon Network in its key demographics. [36] In portraying Ben, Lowenthal was given guidance by series director Glen Murakami, whom he had worked with on Teen Titans: Trouble in Tokyo . Early on in the show, Murakami told Lowenthal to portray Ben as less of a wisecrack than his 10-year-old persona, and did not want Ben to "veer into the whining, Luke Skywalker". The show was renewed for a second season, [37] and would be followed by Ben 10: Ultimate Alien which ran from 2010 to 2012, and Ben 10: Omniverse [38] which ran from 2012 to 2014. In Ultimate Alien, Ben's age was bumped up to 16 years old. [35] Lowenthal said that he did not realize how popular the show was outside North America until he went to Australia, England and Ireland, and saw kids wearing Ben 10 merchandise. He also said that at comic conventions, he was able to walk the halls unbothered until the Ben 10 panel, after which he was "outed". [35] Lowenthal has also been involved in The Swan Princess direct-to-video series starting in 2012 with The Swan Princess Christmas where he was the voice of Prince Derek, and then in 2014 with The Swan Princess: A Royal Family Tale and in 2016 for The Swan Princess: Princess Tomorrow, Pirate Today where he reprised the main role.
