Jay Hernandez
Description
Jay Hernandez is primarily known as a live-action film and television actor, with a limited but notable involvement in anime voice acting. His most prominent and well-documented voice role is in the 2006 animated series Karas.
In Karas, Hernandez provided the English voice for the character Nue. Nue is described as a mystical creature in human form and a rogue demon who seeks to stop the antagonist, Eko. The series, a 40th-anniversary production by Tatsunoko Productions, featured a high-profile English dub that included Hollywood actors such as Matthew Lillard and Piper Perabo, a casting choice that garnered attention at the time. The DVD release of Karas: The Revelation includes a featurette titled Inside the Voice Over Booth, which contains footage of Hernandez recording his lines.
Beyond this role, there is no widely available information confirming other significant work in anime voice acting. His filmography is otherwise dominated by live-action roles in major films such as Hostel, Friday Night Lights, World Trade Center, and Suicide Squad, as well as the television series Magnum P.I.. While he voiced the character Bonnie's Dad in Toy Story 4, this is a Western animation production, not an anime. Consequently, his career as an anime voice actor is defined by his single, prominent performance in Karas.
