Ian James Corlett

Early life

Corlett was born on August 29, 1962, the youngest of three sons to Eva (née Lasko) and Arthur Corlett, a music store owner.

In 1980, during his final year at Burnaby South Secondary School, Corlett made a video about life at the school starring his friend Alan McConnell getting into all sorts of antics, which became available on his YouTube channel in 2023 after sitting in an archive for 43 years.

Career

Corlett began his career in 1984. Before becoming a voice actor, he programmed drum tracks and helped with computer sequences on Queensrÿche's album Operation: Mindcrime, also selling the band music gear in the 1980s. Corlett has lent his voice to several animated series produced/dubbed in Canada, with notable voice roles including Bob in ReBoot, Charger in NASCAR Racers, Baby Taz in Baby Looney Tunes, Funshine Bear in Care Bears: Adventures in Care-a-Lot, and Andy Larkin in What's with Andy?. Corlett has also lent his voice to DIC Entertainment shows such as Super Duper Sumos. He also voiced Mr. Cramp in The Cramp Twins, Ten Cents, Otis, Zeebee, Zip, Lord Stinker, Frank, Eddie, and the Lighthouse Clock in Salty's Lighthouse, and Ransome the Clown in the video game Thimbleweed Park.

He, along with fellow Canadian voice actor Terry Klassen, owned a production company that helped rewrite international shows. He is also the creator of the animated series Being Ian and Yvon of the Yukon.

In anime, Corlett has voiced Master Roshi in Dragon Ball Z and Miroku in Yashahime: Princess Half-Demon, replacing Kirby Morrow, who was the original English voice actor for Miroku in the Inuyasha series until his death on November 18, 2020.

Personal life

Corlett lives in Vancouver with his wife, also having a home in Palm Springs, California. They have two children: Philip (b. 1997), and Claire (b. 1999). The Corletts have done voice work for the animated series Dinosaur Train and My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic. In addition to his work in Vancouver, Corlett does voice work in Los Angeles, California, in the United States.
