The Man Behind the Voice

Mark X Laskowski portrait

Mark X Laskowski is a Houston-based actor, voice actor, and theatrical performer with over 40 years in the industry. You've heard him die in more anime than you can count, earning him the unofficial title of the "Red Shirt Voice Actor." But there's a lot more to the story.

On stage, Mark completed a 10-month national tour of Oklahoma! as Ike Skidmore / Pop Carnes, performing across 36 cities. On screen, he's brought over 200 characters to life through anime, audiobooks, and film, most notably Kota Hirano in High School of the Dead, Seiichi Kinoshita in Shirobako, and roles in Haikyu, Parasyte, Food Wars, and Excel Saga.

Whether he's voicing a hero, a villain, or the guy who gets kicked in a very unfortunate place, Mark shows up and delivers.
