Identifying voices
Since the BTVA.com forums will be down for the weekend, I’ll share whatever I can find regarding the JAL Dub here.

Firstly, I think I’ve identified Mike Worman as a minor role. I feel pretty confident in saying he’s the Bank Teller who only has 2 lines (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=fhq1qCbt7Ps). His voice fits Worman’s typical voice pretty well, only more aged and relaxed in comparison to previous roles like Aladdin or Swan Lake, obviously due to being dubbed about a decade after those 2 examples.

Aladdin Frontier Dub (Worman starts at 35:55): https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ZW5LGbzl6jo

Swan Lake (Worman starts at 0:16): https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=YjP2nvpy__4

I also can’t help but get the feeling the son of the Munitions Engineer (Barry Gjerde) is played by Jeff Manning. Which is weird because Manning’s never played any child roles as far as I know, it’s obvious it’s a grown adult doing a young boy voice but for some reason my mind keeps reading it as Manning. Any thoughts? That being said, the Journalist guy is definitely Jeff Manning from the sound of it: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=qBFoIeqTyKo

So I recently watched the dub of the Tezuka OVA Rain Boy (Amerfuri Kozou) on animefive.com based on the fact Lynn Harris was credited as being the titular character on ANN and the listing was correct, it was definitely Harris’ voice. Harris could also be heard voicing a few minor young girl characters which leads me be to believe that all the Kidnapped Girls were voiced by Lynn Harris and I feel really stupid for not coming to this conclusion sooner. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N_0_ofaPZAM

Speaking of the Rain Boy OVA, 2 other familiar voices also showed up in the dub (This dub has no credits), the main character’s dad definitely sounded like Mike Worman and there was also a narrator who briefly said things like “A year later” and “40 years later” that was unmistakably William Ross.
