Trivia
- He appeared in 3 animes in a row on the Saturday 6 p.m. timeslot on MBS and TBS, starting from Gundam Seed (GS, FMA, GSD). Interestingly, his character in GS (Andrew Waltfeld) was meant to be killed off. But the director kept the character as he's one of the few "cool adults" remaining. Andrew went on to play a significant role in GSD.
- There are two occasions where he and Crispin Freeman voices the same character: Oda Nobunaga in Kessen III, and Setzer Gabbiani in Kingdom Hearts II
