Notes[]
- Since around late 2019/early 2020, John Snyder had stopped appearing regularly in anime dubs due to becoming a Union-only voice actor (SAG-AFTRA). However, he occasionally continues to voice characters in anime dubs and video games as long as it's a Union Dub production or a reprisal of an old role.
