Ryan Potter
Description
Ryan Potter is an American actor and martial artist who has built a significant career in voice acting for animation, including work within the anime and anime-influenced genre. He is known for bringing a youthful energy and sincerity to his roles, often portraying determined and gifted young protagonists.
Potter's most notable contribution to anime-style storytelling is his role in the Star Wars: Visions anthology series. In the third volume of this series, which premiered on Disney+ in 2025, he provided the English voice for the character Ron in the episode titled The Lost Ones. This role places him within the larger tradition of Western actors participating in Japanese-inspired animated projects under the Star Wars banner.
While Star Wars: Visions represents a direct foray into the anime medium, Potter is widely recognized for his work in animated features and series that, while produced in the West, share aesthetic and thematic qualities with anime. He achieved mainstream recognition for his breakthrough voice role as Hiro Hamada in the Disney animated film Big Hero 6, released in 2014. The film, which is a loose adaptation of a Marvel comic series with a distinct Japanese-inspired setting, won the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature. Potter reprised this role extensively, continuing to voice Hiro in the subsequent television series Big Hero 6: The Series from 2017 to 2021, the Disney+ limited series Baymax! in 2022, and the video game Kingdom Hearts III.
Beyond his work in film and television, Potter has a notable presence in animated streaming series. He was a main cast member on the Netflix series Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous, voicing the character Kenji Kon from 2020 to 2022, and continued the role in its sequel series, Jurassic World: Chaos Theory. He also contributed to English dubbing of international animation, providing the voice for the character Fish in the English dub of the 2016 fantasy film Throne of Elves.
Potter began his professional acting career in live-action, making his debut as the lead in the Nickelodeon martial arts comedy series Supah Ninjas from 2011 to 2013. While he has maintained a concurrent live-action career, most notably playing Gar Logan in the DC Universe series Titans, his extensive filmography demonstrates a strong and recurring commitment to voice acting in the animation and fantasy genres. His work is characterized by long-term commitments to major franchises, including Disney's Big Hero 6 and the Jurassic World animated universe, as well as participation in anthology projects like Star Wars: Visions that celebrate the anime art form.
