Hank Wilspank
Description
Hank Wilspank is a pseudonym for the American voice and television actor Henry M. Stellrecht, who is known professionally as Skip Stellrecht. The name Hank Wilspank is one of several aliases the actor has used throughout his career, alongside credits such as Jack Aubree, Henry D. Grey, and Hank Malloy.
The actor began his performance career in commercials before moving to stage roles in the Los Angeles area, where he was a founding member of the Friends and Artist Theatre Ensemble. His entry into voice acting occurred by chance through a friend, but he later came to consider it a significant part of his career.
In the realm of anime, the actor has an extensive filmography. He is known for voicing the character Ross Sylibus in the English version of the cyberpunk series Armitage III, using the Hank Wilspank pseudonym for this role. In this series, Ross Sylibus is a Martian police detective and the partner of the protagonist, Armitage. His performance in the sequel, Armitage III: Dual-Matrix, was described by one reviewer as having greater energy than his predecessor in the role.
Beyond the Armitage series, he has taken on several other major anime roles. He is the voice of Might Guy and Itachi Uchiha in the Naruto franchise and provides the voice of the character Ryu in the English dub of the Street Fighter II V anime series. His other notable anime credits include Vicious in Cowboy Bebop (under the name Henry Douglas Grey), Gaomon in Digimon Data Squad, General Katase in Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion, and various roles in productions such as Wolf's Rain, Trigun, and Mobile Suit Gundam: The 08th MS Team. In addition to anime, his voice acting work extends to video games, where he has cited the role of Jutah Fate in Silent Bomber as a personal favorite.
The actor has worked on several projects for the Animaze dubbing studio, including Street Fighter II V and the Animaze dub of the film Akira. Throughout his career, he has appeared in live-action television series as well, including roles on USA's Mr. Robot, NBC's Grimm, and ABC's Once Upon a Time.
