Invincible Role

Dorn provides the voice of Battle Beast, one of the strongest fighters in the Invincible universe and a recurring threat across the animated series since its 2021 debut. The character's brute strength and battle-hungry personality give Dorn a chance to bring the same commanding, gravel-voiced presence he is known for from decades of playing powerful, imposing characters. It is a fitting extension of his long career voicing tough, larger-than-life figures in animation and video games.
