Description
Frank Ashmore is an American actor who provided the voice for the character Sachio Sadahama, known as the Great Uncle, in the English-language dub of the 2011 Japanese anime film A Letter to Momo. His participation in this film represents a foray into anime voice acting within a career primarily defined by extensive work in live-action television, film, and video games.

Born in El Paso, Texas, Ashmore began his acting career in the early 1970s and built a substantial resume across multiple decades. He is perhaps best known for his dual role as the alien characters Martin and his brother Philip in the influential 1980s science fiction miniseries V and its sequels.

In recognition of his stage work, he won the Los Angeles Drama Critics Circle Award for Featured Performance in 2005. While his role in A Letter to Momo stands as a notable credit in animation, it is an exception within a career focused on live-action performance and video game voice-over. There is no public information indicating recurring collaborations with specific anime directors, studios, or a pattern of regular work in the anime industry.
