Ian James Corlett:
Ian James Corlett (born August 29, 1962 in Vancouver) is an animation voice artist, writer, and musician. He is the creator of Studio B Productions' animated series Being Ian and Yvon of the Yukon.
In addition to programming some drum tracks and helping with some computer sequences on Queensrÿche's album Operation: Mindcrime, and also selling the band some music gear in the old days, Corlett also lent his voice to the Ocean Group dub's first season of Dragon Ball Z as Goku and Master Roshi and has also lent his voice to Beast Wars and Beast Machines as Cheetor. Corlett has also lent his voice to less known DIC Entertainment shows such as Super Duper Sumos and Sonic Underground. Other than his brief starring role as Goku in DBZ, he usually voices the "other character" in cartoon animation, despite playing some other main characters, such as Andy Larkin of What's with Andy?, and Glitch-Bob in the computer-animated show ReBoot. He also voiced Mr. Cramp in The Cramp Twins. In Salty's Lighthouse he played Ten Cents, O.J., Zip, Zebedee and Lord Stinker.
Through a coincidence, Corlett who voiced Dr. Wily in DIC's video-game oriented cartoon Captain N: The Game Master would later voice his arch-nemesis Mega Man in the Ruby-Spears cartoon adaptation of the games. His best known role was playing Filbert on DiC Entertainment and BKN's Pocket Dragon Adventures.
He currently lives in Vancouver with his wife and two children.

[edit] Trivia
- Ian Corlett was replaced by Peter Kelamis and Dave Ward as the voices of Goku and Roshi respectively in the Ocean Group dub's second and final season of Dragon Ball Z. According to Corlett, the principal reason why he abandoned the role of Goku was because he wasn't being compensated for the character's several, now trademark, yells. He remained on the series, however, as a writer and producer alongside Terry Klassen.[1]
- To this day, he receives mail from fans who state that, of the four English voice actors who have voiced the adult version of Goku, he was best suited for the role.[2]
