Ian James Corlett (born August 29, 1962) is a Canadian voice actor, animator and author. He is the creator of the animated series Being Ian and Yvon of the Yukon with Studio B Productions. His most notable voice roles include Mega Man in Ruby-Spears' Mega Man series, Cheetor in Beast Wars: Transformers, and the first English voice of adult Goku in the Ocean dub of Dragon Ball Z from 1996–1997.

Early life

Corlett was born on August 29, 1962, in Burnaby, British Columbia, Canada.

Career

Corlett began his career in 1984. In addition to programming some drum tracks and helping with some computer sequences on Queensrÿche's album Operation: Mindcrime, and also selling the band some music gear in the 1980s, Corlett also lent his voice to several animated series produced/dubbed in Canada. Some of his other notable voice roles include Master Roshi in Dragon Ball Z, Glitch-Bob in ReBoot, Charger in NASCAR Racers, Baby Taz in Baby Looney Tunes, and Andy Larkin in What's with Andy?. Corlett has also lent his voice to less known DIC Entertainment shows such as Super Duper Sumos. He also voiced Mr. Cramp in The Cramp Twins. In Salty's Lighthouse, he played Ten Cents, Otis, Zeebee, Zip, Lord Stinker, Frank, Eddie, and the Lighthouse Clock. He voiced Ransome the Clown in the video game Thimbleweed Park.

Through a coincidence, Corlett who voiced Dr. Wily in DIC's video-game oriented cartoon Captain N: The Game Master would later voice his nemesis Mega Man in the Ruby-Spears cartoon adaptation of the games.

He along with fellow Canadian voice actor Terry Klassen owned a production company who helped rewrite international shows.

Corlett more recently served as the English voice of Miroku for the Japanese anime series Yashahime: Princess Half-Demon, replacing Kirby Morrow who was the original English voice actor for Miroku in the Inuyasha series until his death on November 18, 2020. Through another coincidence, Morrow had previously also voiced Goku in the Ocean dub of Dragon Ball Z after replacing Peter Kelamis, who had in-turn replaced Corlett.

Personal life

Corlett lives in Vancouver with his wife. They have two children: Philip (b. 1997), and Claire Corlett (b. 1999). They have done voice work for two different animated series, Dinosaur Train and My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic, respectively. He also has a home in Palm Springs, California. In addition to his work in Vancouver, he does voice work in Los Angeles, California, in the United States.
