Biography

Bill Townsley is a Dallas native who got his start in voice acting back in 2000 while working at FUNimation (now Crunchyroll) as a web and motion graphics designer. That behind-the-scenes gig quickly launched a two-decade-long adventure behind the mic, bringing some of anime's most notorious and entertaining villains to life.

Bill is best known for his work across the Dragon Ball franchise, where he's voiced an impressive lineup of characters including the conniving Cui, fan-favorite Guldo (in the remastered English dubs), Neiz, Don Para, Lord Jaguar, Appule (in two episodes), and even Monster Carrot in Dragon Ball: Origins. His sinister take on Babidi can be heard in Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 2 and 3, Shin Budokai: Another Road, and Raging Blast.

As Cui, Bill has appeared in multiple Dragon Ball video games over the years including Raging Blast, Ultimate Tenkaichi, Battle of Z, and most recently, the 2024 release of Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero, continuing to breathe life into the trash-talking Frieza soldier fans love to hate.

Anime fans also know him as Elder Toguro in Yu Yu Hakusho, Neiz in Dragon Ball Z: Cooler's Revenge, Scar's Brother in Fullmetal Alchemist, and Lord Jaguar in Dragon Ball Z: Bio-Broly.
