Brian Donovan is an American voice actor known for his extensive work in anime dubbing, particularly for leading roles in two major international franchises. Born on January 20, 1967, in California, his career in animation and voiceover began in the 1990s and has continued into the present day.

He is most widely recognized as the English voice of Rock Lee, a beloved character from the Naruto series. Donovan first voiced the role in the original Naruto anime and reprised it consistently across all subsequent installments, including Naruto: Shippuden, the spin-off series Rock Lee & His Ninja Pals, and the sequel series Boruto: Naruto Next Generations.

He was originally set to reprise his role as Davis for the film Digimon Adventure: Last Evolution Kizuna, but due to technical issues with his home studio during the COVID-19 pandemic, the role was ultimately recast.

Beyond these hallmark roles, Donovan has contributed his voice to a variety of other anime series.
