I hope the TotA anime gets dubbed, and if it does I hope he returns as Jade. I like Jade's Japanese voice too, but I think his English voice is so much better.
He also did a great Jin and Kuze. :D

Wow, this guy doesn't look anything like I'd expect him to. xD But it doesn't matter, he's an amazing voice actor. I love his roles as Saito, Jin, and Brandon Heat. He has a really unique timbre to his voice, it's so soothing to listen to.
