Philip Bartlett
Description
Philip Bartlett is the credited name for the voice of Mewtwo and Dr. Fuji in the English-language dub of the 1998 animated film Pokémon: The First Movie. This name is a pseudonym; the actor behind the credit is Jay Goede, an American stage actor. Goede was born on November 2, 1963, and he adopted the name Philip Bartlett for this role, taking Philip from his middle name and Bartlett from the street where he once lived. While his work as an anime voice actor is limited to this single film, his performance is notable as he provided the voice for two major characters in the same project, Mewtwo and the scientist Dr. Fuji.
Goede's professional career is rooted primarily in theatre. He has performed in several Broadway productions, including the original production of Angels in America (1993), Sex and Longing (1995) opposite Sigourney Weaver, The Play's the Thing (1995), A Year with Frog and Toad (2003), and Looped (2009) with Valerie Harper. He also played the title character in the stage musical How the Grinch Stole Christmas! at the Old Globe in San Diego in 2006. Because Philip Bartlett is a pseudonym for a stage actor whose main body of work lies outside of anime, there are no recorded recurring voice acting collaborations with specific directors, studios, or fellow anime voice actors. His role in Pokémon: The First Movie remains an isolated credit in the animation field.
