The name Don Warner is a pseudonym for the established American voice actor Daniel E. "Dan" Woren, who has enjoyed a lengthy and prolific career in the dubbing industry for over 25 years. He was born on January 8, 1952, in San Diego, California. In addition to Don Warner, he has been credited under various other names throughout his career, including W.T. Falke, Jackson Daniels, Warren Daniels, Dan Warren, and Daniel Woren. Woren is known for his linguistic versatility, being fluent in Spanish and capable of performing in several English dialects such as Irish, Southern, and Cockney.

Woren is perhaps best known for providing the voice of Lieutenant Commander Roy Fokker, the mentor and big brother figure to the protagonist in the seminal anime series "Robotech" (specifically its first saga, "The Macross Saga").

He is particularly recognized for voicing calm but serious characters, a prime example being Captain Byakuya Kuchiki in the long-running series "Bleach". He has also demonstrated his range by taking on villainous or more intense roles, such as the brutal Jagi in the "Fist of the North Star" animated film, the sadistic Caster in "Fate/Zero," the legendary warrior Sub-Zero in the 2011 "Mortal Kombat" video game, and the mysterious Igor in "Persona 3". His other notable anime credits include Yang Neumann in "Macross Plus" and various roles in the "Digimon" franchise.

Throughout his career, Woren has been a recurring presence in projects dubbed by major studios like Studiopolis and Bang Zoom! Entertainment. He has had a long-standing association with Koei Tecmo's video game series, providing voices for numerous characters in franchises such as "Dynasty Warriors," "Samurai Warriors," and "Warriors Orochi." His roles for Koei include Liu Bei, Lu Bu, and Ieyasu Tokugawa across various installments.
