Kyosuke Nanbu fighting Mummies

Stephen Sommers's "The Mummy" and its sequel "The Mummy Returns" are among my favorite movies. The stories are very well written, the action sequences are fast paced and exciting, some of the inserted jokes are pretty entertaining, and Rachel Weisz was in them. ^^ I got the DVD set featuring both movies that was released in 2008 before the third movie came out, and enjoyed rewatching it over and over again since then. ^^




In the most recent re-watch, I switched the audio track to Japanese dub just for the fun of it, ^^ and was quite pleasantly surprised in discovering who was the dub voice actor for Brendan Freser's character, Rick O'Connell in those movies. ^^

As usual, I couldn't quite get who it was at first. That sense of familiarity in the voice mixed with some uncertainty of when and where I heard it from in the past made it difficult to pinpoint the exact voice actor. In the end when I could relate the voice to another three characters from different anime series, I couldn't help it but to laugh a bit. XD

It's Toshiyuki Morikawa (森川智之) who voiced Kyosuke Nanbu in "Super Robot Wars OG", or Shagia Frost in "After War Gundam X", or Mr. Chang from "Black Lagoon", and of course a whole lot of other characters from other anime series. ^^
