Peter William Kelamis (born December 11, 1967) is an Australian-born Canadian actor, voice actor and comedian. He is arguably best known for playing Dr. Adam Brody in Stargate Universe, Goku in Ocean Productions' English dub of Dragon Ball Z, and Rolf from Ed, Edd n Eddy.

Career

Some of his appearances on TV were in Eureka, The Outer Limits, Corner Gas, Sliders, Stargate SG-1, Stargate Universe, The Sentinel, NCIS, and The X-Files. Film appearances include; Happy Gilmore, Fear of Flying, I'll Be Home for Christmas, Best in Show, The Sport Pages: The Heidi Bowl, and Everything's Gone Green. He also had a recurring role in Beggars and Choosers.

In Funimation/Saban's initial dub of Dragon Ball Z, he replaced Ian James Corlett as the voice of Goku mid-way through the Namek saga (though the dub was cancelled at the end of said saga), and also voiced Goku in FUNimation/Pioneer's dub of the first three Dragon Ball Z movies. Kelamis later reprised the role again for an unrelated dub of the series (which began during the Trunks saga) produced by AB Groupe and Westwood Media exclusively for the UK and Canada, but he was replaced by Kirby Morrow mid-way through the Cell Games saga due to the dub's schedule.

He has also famously voiced Rolf in Ed, Edd n Eddy, as well as Whiplash in Iron Man: Armored Adventures. Kelamis originally auditioned to play the Eds, as well as the other male characters in Ed, Edd n Eddy but didn't land either role. Instead he was asked by Danny Antonucci to play the character of Rolf. He also voiced Reaper in the video game Devil Kings as well as providing the voice of Byrne in the CGI animation, Dreamkix.

Trivia

• Many sources often incorrectly claim that Kelamis being replaced as Goku was due to him leaving to pursue his comedy career. In a recent interview with YouTube user "Geekdom101", Kelamis stated it was actually due to the long gaps in the dub schedule and them simply not reaching out to him again to continue dubbing. He stated he would have voiced him to completion if asked.
