Brad Swaile Comes To NYAF!

I'm very happy to reveal voice actor Brad Swaile will attend the 2008 New York Anime Festival. Brad, one of North America's most-sought-after voice actors, stars in Bandai Entertainment's Gundam 00 and VIZ Media's Death Note.

Vancouver-born and raised, Brad began his voice acting career with the role of Ace in My Little Pony Tales. Since then, his highlights have included Mousse in Ranma 1/2, Amuro Ray in Gundam, Quatre Rabarba Winner in Gundam Wing, Dearka Elsman in Gundam SEED, Harry Champ in Zoids/ZERO, Nightcrawler in X-Men Evolution, and Rock in Black Lagoon. Brad can currently be heard as the voice of Light in Death Note, and Brad is now at work on the upcoming Gundam 00.

In Gundam 00, Earth's three superpowers battle for control of solar energy, plunging the planet into global strife. Arising out of the conflict, a mysterious organization known as Celestial Being appears, dedicated to ending all warfare using terrible weapons called Gundams. But while Gundam Meisters Setsuna F. Seiei, Lockon Stratos, Allelujah Haptism, and Tiera Erde thought the fight would be an easy one to win, they're quickly learning shadow governments, internal conflict, and personal politics may plunge them and the entire human race into war without end. Gundam 00 is directed by Seiji Mizushima, a man whose past credits include Fullmetal Alchemist, Neon Genesis Evangelion, and Appleseed: Ex Machina. Brad Swaile stars as the voice of Setsuna F. Seiei.

Gundam 00 will be released on DVD in 2009. It will debut on the SCI FI Channel on November 17, 2008. It will premiere for the first time in North America at the New York Anime Festival.

Mr. Swaile's appearance is thanks to the tremendous cooperation of Bandai and The Ocean Group.
