Jason Schwartzman
Description
Jason Schwartzman is an American actor and musician whose work in voice acting includes roles in animated series and films that draw from or are produced in the style of anime. While his career is primarily rooted in live-action independent film and collaborations with directors like Wes Anderson, he has taken on notable parts in projects that blend Western and anime aesthetics.
One of his prominent roles in an anime-influenced production is voicing the character Arcangelo Corelli. Corelli is a recurring rival to the protagonist in the Netflix original series Neo Yokio and its holiday special, Neo Yokio: Pink Christmas. The series, created by Ezra Koenig, is an American production made in collaboration with Japanese anime studios Production I.G. and Studio Deen, giving it a distinct anime visual style. In this world, Corelli is depicted as a fellow "magistocrat" and a constant competitor in the social rankings of the city.
Schwartzman also has a significant connection to the Scott Pilgrim franchise. He first portrayed the villain Gideon Graves in the 2010 live-action film Scott Pilgrim vs. the World. He later returned to the role for the 2023 animated series Scott Pilgrim Takes Off, providing the voice for the character. This anime-style series, produced by Science SARU and released on Netflix, reunites the cast of the original film to tell a new version of the story.
In addition to these specific voice roles, Schwartzman has extensive experience in animated features, often in projects that have a global appeal. He has lent his voice to films such as Wes Anderson's Fantastic Mr. Fox, the Netflix film Klaus, and the Sony Pictures Animation feature Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, where he voiced the villain The Spot. While these are not anime productions, they contribute to his profile as a versatile voice artist in the animation industry.
