Lee Stone
Description
Lee Stone is a professional name associated with American actor Bryan Cranston for his early work in English-language anime dubs during the 1990s. Under the pseudonym Lee Stone, Cranston provided voice work for several prominent anime series and films released in North America.
One of the most notable roles credited to Lee Stone is the character Isamu Alva Dyson in the English dub of the anime series Macross Plus. Isamu Dyson is the hot-headed and talented test pilot protagonist of the 1994 OVA, and Stone voiced the character in the English version of this installment in the long-running Macross franchise. Another significant role under this name is Eddie Barrows in the cyberpunk OVA series Armitage III. In the English dub of this 1995 series, which follows a police officer investigating a series of murders of androids on Mars, Lee Stone is credited as the voice of the character Eddie Barrows. Both of these roles were part of the English dubs produced for the North American market during the mid-1990s.
The use of the name Lee Stone is understood to be a pseudonym for Bryan Cranston, a common practice for voice actors at the time who were also pursuing other acting careers. Cranston, who would later achieve worldwide fame for his leading roles in live-action television series, used this alternate credit for his voice work on these anime projects. Beyond the noted roles in Macross Plus and Armitage III, Lee Stone is also credited as the voice of Matti Tohn in the English dub of the 1987 film Royal Space Force: The Wings of Honnêamise. The professional identity of Lee Stone is thus historically linked to these English dub productions of Japanese anime from the 1980s and 1990s.
