Richard Ian Cox (born October 3, 1973 in St. Asaph, Wales) is a Welsh-Canadian voice actor best known for his voice acting for English language dubs of anime. The naturally dark-headed Cox gained prominence for playing Mickey Rooney's teenaged traveler and horse rider, Alec Ramsay, in The Family Channel's Adventures of the Black Stallion during the early '90s.
[edit] Career
He is most commonly known for his voice work of Bit Cloud in Zoids: New Century Zero, Ranma Saotome (male) in the latter seasons of Ranma ½, and as the title character of InuYasha, which are both series based on the original manga works of Rumiko Takahashi.
In addition to his co-starring role on Black Stallion, opposite Mickey Rooney, where he spent a lot of time working on the show, becoming friends, during his youth, he has also voiced various characters in several other anime series, including Mobile Suit Gundam, Galaxy Angel, and Gundam SEED (Tolle Koenig and Shani Andras) , as well as various American cartoon characters, such as Quicksilver in X-Men Evolution.
Cox, based in Vancouver, Canada, has made a few guest appearances in Stargate SG-1 and its spin-off Stargate Atlantis, as well as bit parts in series such as ER and Psych. He has also appeared on the Canadian television show The Outer Limits.
Cox is currently the director for the theatre program at South Delta Secondary School. It is believed that he will remain in this position until the previous director returns from maternity leave in spring 2008.
