Mike Reynolds

Mike Reynolds (November 11, 1929 - July 2, 2022) was a retired American voice actor and writer.

Career
Reynolds was a voice actor in cartoon and anime movies since the 1970s, and was also a screen actor in movies. Prior to his professional voice acting career, he had done voice work on various Radio dramas as a child, and was a merchant seaman for several years after graduating High school.

He provided his voice in the Power Rangers franchise until 2002. Two of his best-known roles are the voice of General Ivar in VR Troopers and Captain Mutiny in Power Rangers: Lost Galaxy. Reynolds has also made a couple of appearances on Larry David's show Curb Your Enthusiasm.

Reynolds retired in 2004, with his last dubbing appearance being in Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex, though occasionally appears at the odd convention (one of which where he cited his reason for retiring "As a famous comic book character once said I'm going too old for this kind of shit.") He also made a short return in Anime Midstream's dub of Raijin-Oh in 2009.

Reynolds passed away on July 2, 2022 at the age of 92.
