Richard Ian Cox

Cox also gained fame for voicing Ian Kelley, the title character in the animated series Being Ian and for voicing Scattershot, one of the Autobots in the CGI-Animated series Transformers: Cybertron. In 2015, he provided the voice of Lofty in the American-dubbed version of the 2015 reboot of the British children's animated television series Bob the Builder taking over from both Sonya Leite, Emma Tate and Lizzie Waterworth. He had a prominent live-action role alongside Robin Williams in the 2006 comedy RV. He hosts his own podcast called The Show.

Born in St. Asaph, Wales, Cox began acting at the age of 9. He moved to Vancouver, Canada and at age 14 became a professional actor. After graduating from Vancouver's Richmond Secondary School in 1991, he appeared in a wide variety of guest-starring roles. He is most commonly known for his voice work of Bit Cloud in Zoids: New Century Zero, Ranma Saotome (male) in the later seasons of Ranma ½, and as the title character of InuYasha, which are both series based on the original manga works of Rumiko Takahashi. By the time he was 16, he won the co-starring role in Black Stallion, opposite Mickey Rooney, where he worked for much of his youth. The two remained close friends, until Rooney's death, in April 2014. He has also voiced various characters in several other anime series, including Mobile Suit Gundam (Kai Shiden), Galaxy Angel (Normad), Megaman NT Warrior (Burner Man) and Gundam SEED (Tolle Koenig and Shani Andras), as well as various American cartoon characters, such as Quicksilver in X-Men: Evolution and Snails in My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic. Based in Vancouver, Cox has made a few guest appearances in Stargate SG-1 and its spin-off Stargate Atlantis, as well as bit parts in series such as ER and Psych. He has also appeared on the Canadian television show The Outer Limits and voices Bedtime Bear in Care Bears: Adventures in Care-a-Lot. For over a decade, Cox was a senior instructor of actors at Tarlington Training in Vancouver, and currently teaches film acting at South Delta Secondary School. He hosts The Show, an online radio show.
