Cory Doran

Description
Cory Doran is a Canadian voice actor and director who has been active in the animation industry since the mid-2000s. He has built a substantial career lending his voice to a wide array of characters in numerous animated television series, many of which are aimed at family and youth audiences. His work often involves providing voices for English dubs of animated shows, as well as original English-language productions.

While Doran's voice work spans many genres, he is particularly well-known for his roles in several long-running and popular animated franchises. He is recognized as the voice of the title character in the series Jimmy Two-Shoes, Mike in the Total Drama franchise, and Dabio in the educational series Wild Kratts.

Within the context of anime and action-oriented animation, Doran has a significant presence in the Bakugan franchise. He is a primary voice actor in the English dub of Bakugan Battle Planet and its subsequent series, including Bakugan: Armored Alliance, Bakugan: Geogan Rising, Bakugan: Evolutions, and Bakugan: Legends. In this franchise, he is most prominently the voice of Nillious, the powerful and initially untamable Darkus partner Bakugan of the character Magnus Black. His role as Nillious spans multiple seasons and evolutions of the character. Additionally, within the same Bakugan Battle Planet series, he voices the character Cee and provides voices for numerous other characters, such as Nobilious, Trhyno, and various incidental roles across the different seasons. His work in the franchise also extends to providing voices for characters in related series like BeyWheelz and BeyWarriors: BeyRaiderz.

Beyond the Bakugan universe, his other credits in English-dubbed animation include roles in series such as Scott Pilgrim Takes Off. His filmography demonstrates a pattern of recurring work with Canadian animation studios, contributing to a wide range of projects from comedies like Total DramaRama, where he voices Noah, to preschool shows like Thomas & Friends: All Engines Go, where he is the voice of Cranky. While he has voiced characters in many series that are popular with anime fans, a pattern of recurring collaborations with specific Japanese animation studios or directors is not readily evident in his public filmography; his work is more broadly characterized by his extensive contributions to English-language animation and dubbing.

Doran's notable achievements include maintaining a prolific and consistent career in voice acting for over fifteen years, taking on leading roles in major animated series, and being a central voice talent for a multi-series franchise like Bakugan. His ability to portray a wide range of characters, from comedic leads like Jimmy to complex characters with multiple personalities like Mike in Total Drama, and villainous creatures like Nillious, highlights his versatility as a performer.
