Iqbal Theba
Description
Iqbal Theba is a Pakistani-American actor born in Karachi, Pakistan on December 20, 1963, who has mainly built his career through live-action film and television roles. He is widely recognized for his recurring performance as Principal Figgins on the musical comedy-drama series Glee. While his on-screen work is extensive, his contributions to voice acting are more limited, with a small number of credits in animation.
One of his voice roles is in the anime genre. He voices the character Slav in Voltron: Legendary Defender, a series that uses anime-inspired visual and storytelling techniques. Slav is a recurring character known for his paranoid personality and expertise in alternate realities and multiverse theory. This role stands as his most direct connection to the anime medium.
His other voice acting credits include Dr. Najib in the animated film LEGO Scooby-Doo! Blowout Beach Bash and the character Abbaji in The Wild Thornberrys Movie. In live-action, he has appeared as the UN Secretary General in Transformers: Dark of the Moon, a role that places him in a prominent science fiction franchise.
Within his voice work, Theba does not appear to have repeated collaborations with a specific animation studio or a regular group of voice directors. His roles have been isolated projects rather than part of an ongoing voice cast for multiple series. His career remains notable for the contrast between his high-profile television fame and his selective, character-driven choices in animation and voice performance. The body of his voice work, particularly in anime, remains very small, consisting primarily of his performance in Voltron: Legendary Defender.
