Michael Cera
Description
Michael Cera is a Canadian actor whose voice work includes roles in anime and anime-influenced productions. His involvement in this genre is primarily defined by two key roles: the character Robbie Rabbit in the Japanese-Canadian animated series Pecola and the title role in the Netflix anime series Scott Pilgrim Takes Off.
Cera's early voice acting career includes his role as Robbie Rabbit in the 2001-2002 CGI-anime series Pecola. Produced as a collaboration between Japanese and Canadian companies, the show was set in Cube Town and featured a cast of cube-shaped anthropomorphic animals. Cera provided the voice for Robbie, a rabbit character described as nervous and fond of video games.
A more recent and prominent anime voice role for Cera came in 2023 with the Netflix original series Scott Pilgrim Takes Off. This anime adaptation, produced by the renowned animation studio Science Saru, is based on the graphic novel series by Bryan Lee O'Malley. In a notable reunion, Cera reprised the role of Scott Pilgrim, a character he originally played in the 2010 live-action film Scott Pilgrim vs. the World. For the anime series, he was joined by the film's entire principal cast, who also returned to voice their respective characters.
Beyond these specific anime credits, Cera's broader body of voice work in animated productions includes roles in various films and series. He voiced the character Dick Grayson, also known as Robin, in the 2017 film The Lego Batman Movie. His other voice credits include the animated series The Berenstain Bears, where he played Brother Bear, Braceface as Josh Spitz, and the film Sausage Party as Barry. He is also set to reprise the role of Barry in the upcoming second season of the animated series Sausage Party: Foodtopia.
