Dee Bradley Baker is an American voice actor known for an extensive body of work in animation, though he is not primarily recognized as an anime voice actor. His career has largely been defined by roles in Western animated series, often performing the vocalizations of animals, creatures, and other non-human characters.

Born on August 31, 1962 in Bloomington, Indiana, Baker began his voice acting career in the early 1990s and gained early recognition for narrating the game show Legends of the Hidden Temple. His film debut came with the movie Space Jam, where he voiced Daffy Duck and the Tasmanian Devil. Over the years, he has become one of the most prolific voice actors in the industry.

While his filmography is deep in Western animation, he has performed roles that occasionally intersect with anime-influenced or Japanese media properties. For example, he provided the English voice for the character Bludgeon in the 2015 animated series Transformers: Robots in Disguise. He also voiced the character Silkie in the Western animated series Teen Titans, which, while produced in the United States, is heavily stylized after anime.

Much of Baker's most famous work involves voicing animal-like companions and creatures. He is widely known for voicing the characters Appa and Momo in Avatar: The Last Airbender, as well as Perry the Platypus in Phineas and Ferb. Additionally, he has voiced numerous characters in the Star Wars animated universe, including all of the clone troopers such as Captain Rex in Star Wars: The Clone Wars and Star Wars: The Bad Batch.

In terms of recurring professional collaborations, Baker has worked extensively with Lucasfilm animation on various Star Wars projects for over a decade. He has also frequently collaborated with the production company Cartoon Network Studios, appearing in series ranging from Dexter's Laboratory and Johnny Bravo to Ben 10 and Codename: Kids Next Door.

Among his notable achievements, Baker received a nomination for the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Character Voice-Over Performance in 2017 for his role as Klaus on American Dad!. He also earned nominations for the Annie Award for Voice Acting in a Television Production in 2012 for Star Wars: The Clone Wars, and again in 2015 for his performance in the film The Boxtrolls.
