Chicago-born voice actor whose sinister Android 17 and comedic Emperor Pilaf became essential voices throughout the Dragon Ball franchise.
Chuck Huber brought menacing charisma to Android 17, voiced across Dragon Ball Z, Dragon Ball GT, Dragon Ball Z Kai, and Dragon Ball Super, capturing the android's cold confidence and evolving humanity. His Pilaf embodied the tiny villain's persistent pomposity and scheming energy, whether in his original Dragon Ball appearances or reprising the role in later series. Huber also voiced Android 13 in the film of the same name, Future Android 17, Kibito across multiple series, and supporting characters like Master Shen and Mr. Shu, making him one of the franchise's most versatile actors.
Based in Chicago, Huber has established himself across Funimation productions with major roles in Fullmetal Alchemist as Shou Tucker and in Yu Yu Hakusho as Hiei, among many others. He has contributed voice work to dozens of Dragon Ball video games and maintains an active presence in the anime dubbing industry as a writer and director. His background in comedy and character work has made him especially effective at bringing personality to both serious villains and comedic foils.
