The English voice actor Joe Murray is known primarily for his work on English-language dubs of Japanese anime series, particularly those produced for the Singaporean market. His most prominent and extensive voice roles come from the long-running detective series Detective Conan, also known as Case Closed.

For the Singaporean distribution by Odex, Murray performed the dual lead roles of both Shinichi Kudo, the teenage detective, and his shrunken alias, Conan Edogawa. This is notable as these two characters are the central figures of the entire series, making Murray one of several actors to have voiced these roles in English.

Beyond Detective Conan, Murray's anime voice acting credits from the 2000s include several significant roles. In the science fiction series Fantastic Children, he voiced the character Sess (also known as Seth), a key figure whose past life is central to the story's mythology. In the military drama Zipang, he played Captain Saburo Umezu, the wise and respected commander of the modern destroyer Mirai that is sent back in time to World War II. He also performed multiple roles in the comedic series Daa! Daa! Daa!, including the characters Bow Meow (as a blond man), Hosho Kiyama (also known as Hosho Saionji), and Santa Kurosu.
