Thomas Halperin Weiner was an English-American voice actor, producer, director, and writer known for his work on anime. He typically voiced tough guys and villains—basically the roles you'd expect from someone with his distinctive presence.
Beyond his own career, Weiner's probably best remembered by anime fans for bringing Kirk Thornton into the voice acting world. The story's pretty casual: he ran into Thornton at a dry cleaners and somehow that chance encounter led to Thornton's entire career in the industry. The two had actually worked together years earlier at the Oregon Shakespeare Festival, so there was already a connection there.
Weiner passed away on June 30, 2024 at 77 years old.
