James Arnold Taylor is an American voice actor recognized for his extensive and versatile work in animation and video games. While he is not exclusively an anime voice actor, he has contributed to several notable projects within the genre. His career began in the mid-1990s, and he has since become a prominent figure in the voice acting community, known for his ability to perform a wide range of characters across different styles and mediums.

One of Taylor's significant forays into anime was his role in The Animatrix, a collection of short films set in the world of The Matrix. In the segment titled A Detective Story, directed by Shinichirō Watanabe, Taylor voiced the protagonist, Ash. This short film follows a private detective on a case that leads him to the hacker Trinity, blending film noir aesthetics with the cyberpunk universe of The Matrix. Taylor also provided voices for other segments of The Animatrix, including the characters Raul in Matriculated and additional voices in Kid's Story and The Second Renaissance.

In addition to his work on The Animatrix, Taylor voiced the character Keith Evans in the English adaptation of the 1998 anime series Psychic Force. The series is based on the Taito fighting game of the same name and explores a world where individuals with psychic powers, known as Psychiccers, are emerging and coming into conflict.

Beyond these specific roles, Taylor's broader filmography includes other projects that fall within or relate to the anime medium. He provided additional voices for the English adaptation of the classic anime series Nadia: The Secret of Blue Water. He also voiced the character Yashichi in the English version of the stylized action series Afro Samurai. His work on various video games, particularly the critically acclaimed Final Fantasy X, in which he played the main protagonist Tidus, has also connected him to the wider anime-influenced artistic style popular in Japanese role-playing games.
