Welcome to the first part of my interview with the incredibly prolific Yuri Lowenthal.

Yuri's voice acting work is definitely wide-ranging.

In animation, some of his most famous roles include Superman in Legion of Superheroes,

Ben Tennyson and Ben-Ten Alien Force and Omniverse,

as well as He-Man in the He-Man and the Masters of the Universe 2021 animated series.

In games, he's played the Prince in numerous Prince of Persia games, the male player character in Sunset Overdrive,

and probably most famously, Peter Parker, aka Spider-Man, in Marvel's Spider-Man series of games.

In anime, he's well known for playing Saske, in the long-running anime series

Naruto, where I play his older brother, Itachi. There are even multiple news articles about

how Yuri has played so many characters in games that chances are you've probably fought

and defeated one of his characters if you've played any games involving fighting.

Yuri and his wife Tara Platte have their

own production company called Monkey Kingdom Productions, where they've developed and produced

their own original shows, including the web series Shelf Life and Topsie McGee versus the Sky Pirates.
