Episode 279: Jason Simpson

Jason Simpson is an actor and voice actor who has built a diverse body of work, from sci-fi fare like The Magicians and DC’s Legends of Tomorrow, to games like League of Legends, Dragalia Lost, The Amazing Spider-Man, Dead Rising 2, 3 & 4, and Need For Speed; and animated fare like Johnny Test, Polly Pocket, Sausage Party, Death Note, Black Lagoon, Lego Nexo Knights, Ninjago, and Mobile Suit Gundam Seed Destiny. Jason is perhaps best known for voicing Viren, the best dad ever, in Netflix’s Emmy Award winning animated series The Dragon Prince (and head to the footnotes for a link to a YouTube fan edit entitled “Viren: World's Best Dad! (jk he sucks),” a compilation of Viren being the opposite of an aspirational Pinterest dad). In this compelling and twisty-turny conversation, Jason dishes on the Vancouver voice community, how he really feels about Viren, that time he and Adrian Petriw “almost died” in Atlanta.
