Born in Burnaby, British Columbia, in 1962, Corlett has worked extensively in animation and voice-over since the late 1980s, often using the Jerry J. Todd alias for specific projects. His most significant role under this name is Goku in Funimation and Saban's original 1990s English dub of Dragon Ball Z, where he voiced the character for the first 49 episodes.

Another major role credited to Jerry J. Todd is Shuichi Tataki in the cyberpunk anime series Key the Metal Idol, which was released in the mid-1990s. In this English-language adaptation of the Japanese original, he voiced Shuichi, a key character living in the same apartment building as the protagonist.

His voice acting portfolio includes leading roles such as the title character in Mega Man, Cheetor in Beast Wars: Transformers, Glitch-Bob in ReBoot, and Andy Larkin in What's with Andy?. He has also worked as a screenwriter, television producer, and author, and is the creator of the animated series Being Ian and Yvon of the Yukon. The use of the Jerry J.
