Jim Foronda – Voice Actor Profile & Notable Roles

Jim Foronda is a Texas-based voice actor, supporting roles including Denny Bloch/Brosh in both runs of Fullmetal Alchemist and Marco Togni in Gunslinger Girl. Jim's first video game role was Jackal in Spikeout: Battle Street, which he regrettably-yet-fondly refers to as his "almost a Jill Sandwich" goofy game VO moment. He went on to voice Apophis, Hyena, and others in Unreal Championship 2, Janempa in a bunch of Dragon Ball games, and 20 different characters across the Borderlands franchise.In an ironic flip of the actor's proverb, Jim's day job quit him in 2013 when Hasbro changed ad agencies. Turning a layoff into an opportunity, he went to voice acting full-time. Since then, he's voiced Muscular in My Hero Academia, Luxion in Trapped In A Dating Sim: The World of Otome Games is Tough for Mobs, Poncho Panacotta in How A Realist Hero Rebuilt The Kingdom, Shisandan/Bui in Banished From The Hero's Party, I Decided To Live A Quiet Life In The Countryside, Kumasa in If My Favorite Pop Idol Made It To The Budokan I Would Die, HEUSC in The Millionaire Detective: Balance UNLIMITED, Frankenzombie in Sleepy Princess In The Demon Castle, Geld I/Orc Disaster in That Time I Got Reincarnated As A Slime, Mato/King Toma in Fairy Tail, Vander Decken IX in One Piece, and more. He's been in several games too, including over 10 characters in SMITE (like Rambo and TMNT's Shredder!), Tom Banner in Killing Floor 2, and Oscar Mike, ISIC, Whiskey Foxtrot, and MINREC in Battleborn. And in 2019, he was super-excited to take up the role of Claptrap, starting with Borderlands 3.In his spare time.
