Alex Ross
Voice ActorAlex Ross is an American comic book artist and writer celebrated for his painted, photorealistic style, and he lent his voice to the character Ryuboshi in the English dub of One Piece.
One Piece Role
Alex Ross provided an English-language voice for the One Piece anime, voicing the character Ryuboshi. The role marked an unusual detour into voice acting for an artist better known for painted comic book art than vocal performance. One Piece is adapted from Eiichiro Oda's manga by the Japanese studio Toei Animation, and its English dub has occasionally drawn talent from outside the usual pool of anime voice actors.
Career and Notable Roles
Ross made his name as a painter for mainstream comics, teaming with writer Kurt Busiek on the 1994 series Marvels for Marvel Comics before co-writing and illustrating the acclaimed 1996 miniseries Kingdom Come for DC. He continued designing covers and characters for Busiek's Astro City and various Dynamite Entertainment titles, contributed concept art to the Spider-Man films of 2002 and 2004, and created packaging art for Unbreakable. His gouache-and-wash technique, often compared to a blend of Norman Rockwell and George Perez, has made his heroic figures widely merchandised as posters, action figures, and promotional art for outlets like the Academy Awards and TV Guide.
