You may recognise him as the voice of of Greed in Fullmetal Alchemist, Sousuke Sagara in Full Metal Panic, Sho Fukamachi in Guyver, Sato in Welcome to The NHK, and Creed Diskenth in Black Cat, amongst many others. Might possibly be the Texan equivalent of Yuri Lowenthal. However a more appropriate label would be the Western equivalent of Akira Ishida; he even mentioned in a recent interview that he was once cast in a number of shows where he was "always either the pretty boy or the villain."

Toward the end of his career in anime dubbing he became well-known for voicing Crazy Awesome people like Graham Spector and Tatsuhiro Sato. These roles allowed him to tap into his inner Large Ham.

Patton recently announced his decision to leave anime dubbing to work in other areas of voice performing such as audiobooks, although he plans to return to any of his past roles if more seasons are created for the series he worked on. However, he is slowly coming back, working with the newly formed Sentai Filmworks in the recent dubs of Demon King Daimao and ICE.

Here is his Twitter account.

Tropes Associated with Chris Patton

Bishonen: A lot of his charcters he voices fit into this, and he is even one in real life too.
Older Than They Look: He's 40 years old.
Pigeonholed Voice Actor: normally the "pretty boys", some having a bit of a troubled past, however...
- Man of a Thousand Voices: that doesn't mean he is limited to one voice, as he does have a wide vocal range. Heck, he is even going to voice a woman (although to be fair, the Japanese dub was also like that).
Troubled but Cute: many of his characters, but Sagara Sousuke needs a specific mention.
What The Hell, Funimation?: His reaction to Funimation's recent lawsuit. Despite having worked on several Funimation titles in the past under ADV Films, he was very upset and disappointed on Funimation suing Sentai Filmworks and ADV films related companies over the sale of assets. And don't expect him to work on any Funimation titles in the future.
- This can be justified though, as he has gotten more roles under Sentai Filmworks and has a very busy schedule now.
