Jim Foronda

Jim Foronda is a Texas-based voice actor, freelance ad copywriter, and cyborg. In 2001, Jim was writing commercials for Hasbro Toys when a budget miscalculation on a G.I.Joe campaign ended up with him cast as Cobra Commander, Duke, Heavy Duty, and a British reporter- all in one commercial. After a year of being asked to play characters like Optimus Prime, Megatron, and Mr. Potato Head in toy ads, he decided to pursue voice acting outside of his day job. Juggling time between ad writing and voice work, Jim became a regular "pick up" player for Funimation, in shows like Dragon Ball Z, Case Closed, Panty & Stocking, Solty Rei, and more, along with supporting roles including Denny Bloch/Brosh in both runs of Fullmetal Alchemist and Marco Togni in Gunslinger Girl. Jim's first video game role was Jackal in Spikeout: Battle Street, which he regrettably-yet-fondly refers to as his "almost a Jill Sandwich" goofy game VO moment. He went on to voice Apophis, Hyena, and others in Unreal Champions
