Giles New

Description
Giles New is an actor, writer, and voice director whose work in anime is primarily defined by his extensive contributions to the English dub of the Studio Ghibli series Ronja the Robber's Daughter. In this production, he voiced multiple characters, including Joen, Jutis, Labbas, Lill-Klippen, and Turre. His role in this series represents a significant part of his anime voice acting portfolio, demonstrating a common practice in English dubbing where a single actor provides voices for several supporting roles within the same project.

Beyond his on-microphone work, New also served as a voice director for the English dub of Ronja the Robber's Daughter. This positions him not only as a performer within the anime industry but also as a creative contributor in a leadership role, helping to guide the vocal performances of the cast. The anime itself, an adaptation of Astrid Lindgren's children's book, has been recognized with awards, including an Emmy.

New's broader career extends beyond the anime genre. He is widely known for his live-action role as Murtogg in the Pirates of the Caribbean film series. He has also worked extensively in Western animation as a voice actor and voice director on series such as the BAFTA-nominated Dennis the Menace and Gnasher and Bat Pat. His background as a writer includes work for major studios like Disney and Aardman. While his anime-specific credits are currently focused on Ronja the Robber's Daughter, his work on the series as both a performer and director marks a notable achievement in the field.
