John Michael Tatum (born May 25, 1976 in McKinney, Texas) is an American voice actor, ADR Director, and Script writer at FUNimation Entertainment. He has provided voices for a number of English language versions of Japanese anime films and television series.
Tatum has gone on to play a wide variety of eccentric characters; most often peculiar, flamboyant villains bent on world domination—a trope he especially enjoys—or stoic young wingmen providing a tranquil counterpoint to the chaotic lives of their friends. In late 2007 Tatum officially branched out into ADR directing and adaptive writing for Funimation.
In the beginning of 2010, Tatum began hosting "That Anime Show" with friend and co-worker, Terri Doty.
