Brian Drummond: Movies & Box Office

Brian Drummond (born August 10, 1969) is a prolific Canadian voice actor known for his versatility and powerful vocal presence, especially in antagonistic and authoritative roles. Raised in Salmon Arm, British Columbia, Drummond honed his craft at the renowned Studio 58 before transitioning from theatre to full‑time voice work, a move that would cement his reputation in the Vancouver animation scene. Since his debut in 1992, he has become a fixture in English dubs of Japanese anime, lending his voice to iconic characters such as Vegeta, Yajirobe, and Vegito in the Ocean Productions version of Dragon Ball Z, as well as the unforgettable Ryuk in Death Note. His performance as Vegeta famously delivered the meme‑making line “It’s Over 9000!” which continues to reverberate across the internet. Beyond anime, Drummond’s career spans a vast array of animated series, feature films, and video games, including roles in Inuyasha (Renkotsu), Mobile Suit Gundam franchises (Zechs Merquise, Andrew Waltfeld, Reverend Malchio), and the Hot Wheels animated movies as Kurt Wylde. He also contributed voices to beloved children’s shows such as My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic and Barbie movies, showcasing his range from heroic knights to whimsical side‑kicks. In the gaming world, he voiced the fearsome Ork Warboss Gorgutz in Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War and numerous characters across the Dynasty Warriors: Gundam series. Drummond’s personal life mirrors his professional passion; he married fellow voice artist Laura Drummond in 1992, and together they have three children—Aidan, Brynna, and Ashlyn—who have followed in their parents’ footsteps, contributing voice work to series like Eon Kid and My Little Pony. The family’s involvement in the industry underscores a legacy of talent and dedication, while Brian continues to enrich the voice‑acting community through his board service at Urban Academy and ongoing performances. His enduring presence and adaptability have made him a respected figure among fans and peers alike, solidifying his status as one of Canada’s most distinguished voice actors.
