Career
In addition to programming some drum tracks and helping with some computer sequences on Queensrÿche's album Operation: Mindcrime, and also selling the band some music gear in the 1980s, Corlett also lent his voice to several animated series produced/dubbed in Canada. His other notable voice roles included the title character of the Mega Man TV show, Cheetor in Beast Wars: Transformers, Glitch-Bob in ReBoot, and Andy Larkin in What's with Andy?. Corlett has also lent his voice to less known DIC Entertainment shows such as Super Duper Sumos and Sonic Underground. He also voiced Mr. Cramp in The Cramp Twins. In Salty's Lighthouse, he played Ten Cents, Otis, Zeebee, Zip, Lord Stinker, Frank, Eddie, and the Lighthouse Clock.

Corlett lives in Vancouver with his wife and two children, Philip and Claire Corlett. They have done voice work for two different animated series, Dinosaur Train and My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic, respectively.

Corlett is also revealed to have a house in Palm Springs, California whenever he and his family go to escape the drip and drizzle of the west coast of Canada.

Trivia

 * According to Corlett, in an interview with Christopher Niosi, he stopped doing much dubbing work due to it paying very poorly.
 * All the same, he also states he wished that the casting team for the (currently unreleased) Ocean Dub of Dragon Ball Z Kai would have contacted him about reprising Goku, as he would've at least considered it.
 * Due to their similar vocal tones, Peter Kelamis has replaced Corlett in two different dubbing roles; Goku in Dragon Ball Z (before the Ocean Dub was cancelled), and Shuishi Tataki in Key the Metal Idol.
