Description
Anthony Lopresti, also credited as Antoni Lo Presti, is a Belgian voice actor known for his extensive work in the French-language dubbing of animated series and films, particularly in the anime genre. He is most recognized for his long-standing association with the Pokémon franchise, where he has lent his voice to multiple characters over many years and series iterations.

Lopresti's career is marked by his role as the voice of Pierre, the French name for the character Brock, in the Pokémon anime. He first took on this role for the initial seasons of the series, from season one through three. After a period where he temporarily left Belgium for Quebec, the role of Pierre was briefly taken over by another voice actor, Laurent Chauvet. Upon his return to Belgium, Lopresti resumed voicing Pierre starting from the ninth season and continued in the role for subsequent series, including Pokémon Advanced, Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, Pokémon Black and White, Pokémon XY, and Pokémon Sun & Moon. His portrayal of Pierre extends to numerous Pokémon films as well, with credits including Mewtwo contre-attaque, The Power of One, Spell of the Unown, Lucario and the Mystery of Mew, The Rise of Darkrai, and the 2019 film Mewtwo Contre-Attaque - Evolution. Beyond the main series, he also voiced Pierre in related productions like Pokémon Chronicles and the special The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon. In a notable piece of casting, Lopresti also voices the character Pierre Rochard in the Pokémon Mega Evolution specials, a character who shares his name with the more famous Brock. His other roles within the Pokémon world include Virgile in the Pokémon Black and White series and the prequel to the sixteenth film, as well as other one-off characters.

Outside of Pokémon, Lopresti's voice acting portfolio is diverse and includes leading and supporting roles in many other popular anime series dubbed into French. He is the voice of Takashi Komuro in Highschool of the Dead, Cavendish in One Piece, and has played multiple characters across the Beyblade franchise, including Tetsuya Watarigami in Beyblade Metal and Jin Ryu in BeyWheelz and BeyWarriors. He also voiced Adrian "Alucard" Tepes in the Castlevania animated series, Takashi Komuro in Highschool of the Dead, and has credits in series such as Inazuma Eleven, Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's, Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL, and Initial D. His work extends to Western animation as well, with roles like Mike, the Green Samurai Ranger, in Power Rangers Samurai and Super Samurai, and Forge in X-Men Evolution.
