James Christian Urbaniak (born September 17, 1963) is an American actor. One of his first noteworthy roles was in the avant-garde playwright/director Richard Foreman's The Universe, for which Urbaniak won an Obie. He has also been acclaimed for his acting in the films Henry Fool and American Splendor, playing legendary illustrator R. Crumb and the play Thom Pain (based on nothing), for which he was nominated for a Drama Desk Award.^[1] He provides the voice for Dr. Thaddeus Venture on The Venture Bros., as well as the Doctor's brother, Jonas Jr and the super-villain Phantom Limb.

In May 2007, a facetious comment that Urbaniak made on a journal entry triggered rumors that Urbaniak was going to be replaced on Venture by actor Liev Schreiber.^[2] Urbaniak has stated that any rumors of him leaving were false.^[3]

Urbaniak was born in Bayonne, New Jersey. He lives in Santa Monica, California with his wife Julie and their twins, son Severn Jerzy and daughter Esme Maeve.^[4]
