A Tribute to Chris Ayres (1965 - 2021)
1Christopher Owen Ayres (May 16, 1965 – October 18, 2021) was an American actor, director and scriptwriter. He worked on voice acting and ADR directing on a number of English dubs of Japanese anime shows at Funimation, OkraTron 5000, New Generation Pictures and Seraphim Digital / Sentai Filmworks. He started his acting career at age six and has performed on Broadway and Off-Broadway as well as in numerous regional productions. He got his start voice acting at ADV Films on Kino's Journey as an extra. In anime, he was known as the voice of Frieza from Dragon Ball, Kei Kurono from Gantz, Prince Soma from Black Butler, and Shingen Takeda from the Sengoku Basara series. He also did voices in some my favorite anime, which are Trinity Blood, Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood, Full Metal Panic, and Fairy Tail. Prior to his voice acting and ADR directing career he was well known as a stage director, choreographer and fight director in the Houston, Texas theater community. He was also known for Mock Combat for Cosplay panels at anime convention. Unfortunately, he died on October 18th, 2021 do to complications with COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease), which he was diagnose with back in November 2017. I wanted to make a video for him. In this video, I talk about him, and memorial farewell.
