History ReclusiveArtist / VoiceActors

* Mimi Woods, best known for providing the voice of Major Kusanagi in the English dub of the original ''Anime/GhostInTheShell'' film and the [[UsefulNotes/PlayStation PS1]] game, has almost completely vanished off the face of the earth following her handful of anime and video game roles. Creator/MaryElizabethMcGlynn, who took over her role of the Major for the ''[[Anime/GhostInTheShellStandAloneComplex Stand Alone Complex]]'' anime, acknowledged at a convention panel that Woods had moved away and retired from voice acting.

* Creator/ScottFreeman has completely disappeared from the anime community since his 2015 conviction for [[PedoHunt possessing child porn]], a part of this obviously stems from his parole allowing limited travel and internet access. The only info about him since then was his employment at a bar in Texas before [[https://sor.nebraska.gov/Registry/Offender/201810XPL moving to Papillon, Nebraska]] around late 2018, and the later [[https://sors.doc.ok.gov/ords/svorp/sors/r/sors/216?o=CCD600515D6F23ACB268FB50CB32DA1D&p216_reg_id=1&clear=RP moving to Grove, Oklahoma]] in 2020.

Despite being extremely active in the Canadian voiceover industry, very little is known about her personal life, she rarely attends conventions, and wouldn't allow a photo of herself to be used on Behind the Voice Actors.

* Legendary voice actor Creator/JohnStephenson never gave an interview and rarely went out in public. He did show up at [=BotCon=] 2001, however.

* Several key voice actors from the ''Manga/RanmaOneHalf'' dub are this. Creator/MichaelDonovan (Ryoga) is still very active as a voice actor, but he has never sat down for an interview nor has he attended a convention. Only a few photos of him are online at all. Sarah Strange (the first voice of boy-type Ranma) is still active as an on-camera television actress, but has no social media presence, and has only a handful of interviews. Myriam Sirois (Akane) attended several anime conventions in the 90s and early 2000s but retired from acting in 2008 to become a flight attendant. She has no social media presence, and politely declines interview requests, saying her acting career was "another life." Angela Costain (Nabiki) and her sister Elaina Wotten-Costain (who filled in for a couple dozen later episodes) both also vanished off the face of the earth following the ending of the series. The latter has only one photo online, and it's a screencap from a TV appearance without her face visible.

* Despite her iconic status, Creator/JaniceKawaye tends to keep a very low profile. ''Very'' few current photos of her can be found online, and no interviews with her exist to this day. She also has no social media of any kind, and most likely never has.

* Oliver Grainger, known for being one of the many D.W's in ''WesternAnimation/{{Arthur}}'' and Dongwa in ''WesternAnimation/SagwaTheChineseSiameseCat'', has retired from voice acting and is mostly private, though he has a presence on Instagram... which he updates once in a while. He used to be on Facebook, however when a fan found out he was there, [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere he deleted his Facebook page]].

* Creator/MadeleinePeters, the voice of Scootaloo in ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' and Helen Lorraine in ''WesternAnimation/MarthaSpeaks''. Little is known about her current life (other than living in Baltimore and trying to pursue a career in animation), she's not as active online as her fellow voice actresses Creator/ClaireCorlett and Creator/MichelleCreber, and rarely attends conventions.

* British voice actress Toni Barry (best known as the voice of Little My and Snorkmaiden in the English dub of the 1990 ''Literature/TheMoomins'' anime) completely vanished off the face of the Earth in 2002, as that's where her [=IMDb=] credits end. Even after the series received a boom in popularity in 2019 and the early 2020s, she still hasn't resurfaced.

* Creator/KevinConroy, the legendary voice of [[ComicBook/{{Batman}}, avoided the limelight and was tight-lipped about his personal life. Every time he did an interview, the topic focused only on his work. But this slowly phased out in his later years especially after coming out in 2016, becoming more open about his upbringing and struggles as a closeted actor which culminated in his autobiography written for ''DC Pride 2022''. Even then, nobody even ''knew'' he was married until after he died in November 2022.

* [[ComicBook/{{Batman}} Much like the character he was best known for voicing]], Creator/KevinConroy preferred to stay out of the public eye and kept details of his private life close to the vest. Most of anything he ever talked about in interviews was his work. But this slowly phased out in his later years especially after coming out in 2016, becoming more open about his upbringing and struggles as a closeted actor which culminated in his autobiography written for ''DC Pride 2022''. Even then, nobody even ''knew'' he was married until after he died in November 2022.

* Haruka Nakamura, who voiced the titular character in ''Anime/SuperMilkChan'', of which was her only role. She vanished off the face of the earth after that and her current whereabouts are unknown.
** To a lesser extent Brad Pyutt, the seiyu for Hanage. All we know is that may have been another seiyu using a pseudonym.

* Japanese voice actor Masayuki Nakata was fairly prolific in dubbing and anime during the '90s and early-to-mid 2000s but has virtually vanished off the face of the earth after retiring from voice acting in 2007, with his current whereabouts being unknown.
* Japanese voice actor Creator/YoshinoriFujita, who had such roles as Kaoru Hitachiin in ''Manga/OuranHighSchoolHostClub'', Alessandro XVIII in ''Literature/TrinityBlood'', and Justin Law in ''Manga/SoulEater'', left his agency in 2016, and has not been heard from since.

* Elza Gonçalves, a Brazilian voice actress who's been in the business since the 1980s, has rarely given interviews and has no other voice acting credit other than her work on ''ComicBook/MonicasGang'' as the [[OneBookAuthor voice of Maggy]].

* Creator/TressMacNeille, the voice of WesternAnimation/DaisyDuck, [[WesternAnimation/{{Animaniacs}} Dot Warner]], and [[WesternAnimation/TinyToonAdventures Babs Bunny]] among many others, is still very active in voice acting today, but has no social media whatsoever and almost never makes public appearances. This is because she had a stalker when ''Tiny Toons'' was airing, who was creepily obsessed with Babs. Fellow veteran voice actor Creator/RobPaulsen has repeatedly tried to get her on [[Podcast/TalkinToonsWithRobPaulsen his podcast]], to no avail.

* British voice actress Toni Barry (best known as the voice of Little My and Snorkmaiden in the English dub of the 1990 ''Literature/TheMoomins|Moomin'' anime) completely vanished off the face of the Earth in 2002, as that's where her [=IMDb=] credits end. Even after the series received a boom in popularity in 2019 and the early 2020s, she still hasn't resurfaced.

* Creator/LindaYoung, the English voice of Frieza in ''Anime/DragonBallZ'' and Genkai in ''Manga/YuYuHakusho''. For years, she had never done an interview, and for the longest time, her only convention was in 1999. She's still active as a voice actress but has a reputation for being a bit mysterious. In 2015, Young finally appeared at a convention where she was in a panel with Creator/RyuseiNakao, Frieza's Japanese voice actor. [[https://youtu.be/VDvgslZlSMw They even shared a laugh together.]] These days, she's slowly making the rounds at a few conventions a year, and she says she was nervous to do so for a long time because she wasn't sure what to expect.

* Creator/KathSoucie was another top voice actress of the '90s, and is still working some today, but she maintains a very private life, rarely making public appearances or doing interviews, and has completely shied away from social media of any kind.

* Japanese voice actor, Creator/YoshinoriFujita, who had such roles as Kaoru Hitachiin in ''Manga/OuranHighSchoolHostClub'', Alessandro XVIII in ''Literature/TrinityBlood'', and Justin Law in ''Manga/SoulEater'', left his agency in 2016, and has not been heard from since.

* Ryan O'Donohue, a childhood actor known for his roles in ''WesternAnimation/{{Recess}}'' and ''WesternAnimation/TheLionKingIISimbasPride'', has very scant details on his current life. In fact, there aren't any known photos of O'Donohue as an adult that exists publicly. The only thing he still does nowadays is providing the voice of Demyx in ''Franchise/KingdomHearts''.

* Annie Bovaird is a voice actress best known for being the third voice of ''WesternAnimation/{{Caillou}}''. She appeared in many voice-acting roles (as well as a few live-action ones) throughout the 2000s. However, it's hard to find any information on her after 2014, with her last known voice roles being her reprising Caillou for a few PBS Kids promos (when the show's fifth season aired on there in 2013) and a few mobile games.
* It's currently unknown what happened to Creator/WardPerry, a staff member at a certain dubbing studio in Vancouver and not a proper actor, after his voice-acting career ended rather unceremoniously in the late 2000s.
* Creator/WillowJohnson was a major anime voice actress of the '90s and 2000s (her best-known roles being Kikyo in ''Manga/{{Inuyasha}}'', Kasumi in ''Manga/RanmaOneHalf'', and Lalah Sune in ''Anime/MobileSuitGundam''), but she stopped voice acting around 2012, supposedly to focus on her family, and also stopped appearing at anime conventions. Nonetheless, she came out of retirement in 2020 to reprise Kikyo (or a version of her) in ''Anime/YashahimePrincessHalfDemon''.

* Canadian voice actor Doug Parker was fairly popular during the ’90s and 2000s, some of his best-known characters include Terrorsaur from ''WesternAnimation/BeastWars'', Tidal Wave from ''Anime/TransformersArmada'', Megaman from ''WesternAnimation/CaptainNTheGameMaster'', Shenron and Bubbles from the Ocean Dub of ''Anime/DragonBallZ'', and Bad Rap, Haxx, and Spittor from ''WesternAnimation/ExtremeDinosaurs'', his last credit was in 2018 as a voice director on ''WesternAnimation/LlamaLlama'', he was never interviewed and has no known social media. However in 2022, he appeared at a ''Transformers'' convention in Canada.

* British voice actress Toni Barry (best known as the voice of Little My and Snorkmaiden in the English dub of the 1990 ''Moomin'' anime) completely vanished off the face of the Earth in 2002, as that's where her [=IMDb=] credits end. Even after the series received a boom in popularity in 2019 and the early 2020's she still hasn't resurfaced.
* Probably the most tragic (and easily the oldest) example on here is Joe Dougherty. He was the original voice of WesternAnimation/PorkyPig and was actually where the character got his iconic stutter from, since he actually did suffer from one himself. The only problem was he had great difficulty controlling said stutter and this would cost the producers a lot of money because they would have to keep using new tapes over and over as the tapes would always run out thanks to Joe's stuttering. Eventually the studio had no choice but to fire Joe, whereby he was replaced by Creator/MelBlanc, who would of course go on to play Porky for the next fifty years, as well as almost all of the other iconic characters and basically becoming the most legendary voice actor of all time. Joe would never find any acting work again and spent the rest of his life in obscurity until his death in 1978, with almost no details of his life being known at all except that he had a blink and you'll miss it onscreen role as an extra in ''Film/AStarIsBorn1954''. Currently, the only known pictures of him to exist are [[https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/a/ac/Joe_Dougherty.jpg this screenshot]] of him in the aforementioned film, and [[https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/warner-bros-entertainment/images/f/ff/Joe_Dougherty_photo.jpeg this candid photo]] taken of him in the thirties.
* [[ComicBook/{{Batman}} Much like the character he was best known for voicing]], Creator/KevinConroy preferred to stay out of the public eye and kept details of his private life close to the vest. Most of anything he ever talked about in interviews was his work. But this slowly phased out in his later years especially after coming out, becoming more open about his upbringing and struggles as a closeted actor which culminated in his autobiography written for ''DC Pride 2022''. Even then, nobody even ''knew'' he was married until after he died.
* Creator/AllisonSumrall has been an active anime voice actress for ADV Films and Sentai Filmworks for over 20 years, with over 150 credits to her name and counting. However, she maintains a much lower profile compared to most of her peers, and has never attended an anime convention.

* Of the four main voice actors from ''WesternAnimation/PhantomInvestigators'', only Courtney Vineys (Daemona) and Aleks Kocev (Jericho) have social media accounts, and Courtney Vineys is also the only one who continued voice acting. Meanwhile Amber Ross (Kira) and Andrew Decker (Casey) haven't had any credits since 2002 and 2004 respectively and their whereabouts are unknown.
* Elza Gonçalves, a Brazilian voice actress who's been in the business since the 1980s, has rarely given interviews, and has no other voice acting credit other than her work on ''ComicBook/MonicasGang'' as the voice of Maggy.

* Creator/TomKenny is one of the most prolific voice actors in the industry, with thousands of credits to his name, but he has never been active on social media, and the social media accounts he ''does'' have are mainly to ward off impostors.

* Former child actor Creator/ZachTylerEisen, the voice actor for Aang from ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'' (as well as Pablo the Penguin in earlier seasons of ''WesternAnimation/TheBackyardigans'' and Lucas from ''WesternAnimation/TheAntBully''), is one of the only major living [=VAs=] from the show to not attend any fan events since its conclusion, despite the show's immense popularity to this day and Eisen voicing the show's ''main character''. All his verified social media accounts are either closed or private. It is known that he attended Syracuse University and currently works as a photographer for the Conde Nast group (indeed, his name can be seen in the credits for several Vogue interviews) but very little is known aside from that, due to zero fan interactions. Ultimately, he finally resurfaced in a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zeB2sgZTEG8 2020 interview]], where he revealed that he mainly stayed out of the spotlight because he just wanted to live a normal life, but still maintains a huge amount of respect for the show.
