Maddie Blaustein
Madeleine Joan Blaustein (commonly credited as Maddie Blaustein, formerly credited as Addie Blaustein and Adam Blaustein, October 9, 1960-2008) was a transgender voice actress born in Long Island, New York, United States.
From 2006-2008, Blaustein was the voice of Sartorius in Yu-Gi-Oh! GX. She was also most known as the voices of Meowth in Pokémon (Episodes 29-Season 8) and Solomon Muto (Sugoroku Mutou) from Yu-Gi-Oh! second series anime. She was also Chef Kawasaki from Kirby: Right Back At Ya!, Dr. Kureha in One Piece and Arngrim, Lawfer and Lezard in Valkyrie Profile. She is also a comic book writer and artist, having worked for both Marvel Comics[1] and Milestone Comics, and is an animation director as well. Video game localization coordinator and translator Jeremy Blaustein is her brother. Most recently, she served as Creative Director for the recently cancelled Weekly World News.
She was the voice of Margarete in the English language version of the PlayStation 2 game Shadow Hearts.
Most notable was her great variety of voices. In Valkyrie Profile for example, she was able to perform a very "tough", deep masculine voice (Arngrim), as well as a high-class one (Lawfer) and a suitable and somewhat androgynous voice of a mad scientist/sorcerer (Lezard Valeth). In Shadow Hearts, Margarete is voiced in a deep, feminine, and seductive style.
She had also appeared as Sméagol on the Mike Malloy Show, announcing a presidential bid. [2]
Blaustein died in her sleep, on December 12, 2008. The exact cause of death is not known.
