Giving The King of Fighters XV an English dub
Since SNK's The King of Fighters XV does not have an English dub, I thought this would be a good time for me to come up with a potential English voice cast.
Only seventeen fighters have an English voice actor:
• Geese Howard, voiced by Richard Epcar in Tekken 7 and Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves (as Nightmare Geese)
• Haohmaru, voiced by Edward Bosco in Soulcalibur VI
• Nakoruru, voiced by Risa Mei in the Tencent mobile game, Honor of Kings
• Terry Bogard, Rock Howard, Tizoc (who goes by King of Dinosaurs here), B. Jenet, Billy Kane, Mai Shiranui, and Gato, who are voiced by Michael Schneider, Griffin Puatu, Jalen K. Cassell, Amber Lee Connors, Chris Sharpes, Rebecca Rose, and Cory Yee respectively in Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves as playable fighters; while Joe Higashi, Blue Mary, Andy Bogard, Kim Kaphwan, Ryo Sakazaki, Yuri Sakazaki, and Robert Garcia, voiced by Kevin Andrew Rivera, Allegra Clark, Kieran Regan, June Yoon, Craig Lee Thomas, Maddie Matsumoto, and River Kanoff (credited as River Vitae) respectively, as non-playable fighters. (Rivera, Clark, and Regan reprise their roles as Joe, Mary, and Andy in Street Fighter 6's World Tour mode. Andy and Joe will also be DLC in City of the Wolves.)
As such, they will keep said voice actors.
With that out of the way, here are the actors I would like to cast as the voices for each fighter.

Actor and Voice Over Artist, Grant George's passion for acting and filmmaking first emerged when he started making Super 8 horror movies with fellow neighbor kids in his hometown of Watsonville, CA.
His love for Voice Over came from broadcasting ads and skits from his grandpa's converted garage radio station into their house while playing 78rpm records of Abbott & Costello and Spike Jones.
Performing to sold-out audiences every night as Oliver in a stage production of the musical Oliver! at the ripe age of 11 (and receiving flowers from a girl on closing night who had seen every performance) absolutely sealed the deal. He had found his calling.
Grant was accepted out of thousands into the prestigious American Academy of Dramatic Arts. It was a phenomenal time of growth and intensive training, during which he developed the skills he would use for an eclectic career. Graduating from AADA, he immediately began working as an Actor on stage in Los Angeles and Touring Productions, as well as On-Camera in Film, TV, Commercials, and later Voice Over.
