Edmund Paul "Ted" Lewis (born October 18, 1969 in Bellingham, Massachusetts) is one of NY's most well-known voice actors. His resumé stretches far across the spectrum; from the heroic kid to the Big Bad to the comic relief, he's been around the block at least once in terms of roles.
It could also be said he is is a man of a considerable amount of accents, particularly utilized whenever 4Kids Entertainment is involved; such dialects include British, hillbilly, Australian, and the ever-popular American. It can sometimes be hard to tell at times that he's even playing more than one character in given scene. In his more serious vocal work, he pretty much plays it straight.
Notable roles from Ted Lewis:
- Bakura (all three of them), Bandit Keith, and Alister in Yu-Gi-Oh!
- Chumley Huffington in Yu-Gi-Oh! GX (except when he briefly returned from his new job as an official card designer to support Jaden in his duel with Frantz, where he was voiced by Tom Wayland)
- Jack Atlas in Yu-Gi-Oh! 5Ds and Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V, bringing his dialectic interpretations to a new generation. (In Australia!)
