[edit] Live-action roles [edit] Film roles [edit] Video game roles [edit] Documentaries [edit] Web series [edit] Trivia - Yuri had at one point been contracted by Bang Zoom! Entertainment to provide the English voice for Renton Thurston in Eureka Seven. After recording 13 episodes, he was replaced by Johnny Yong Bosch because it was deemed that his voice was too low for the character and all of the lines were subsequently rerecorded.[2] Yuri is never actually heard in Eureka Seven as a result, despite it previously being listed on his resume ( there was however, one scene at the end of episode 7 in which Holland is watching Renton on a video and Yuri's original audio was not replaced.[citation needed] This may have happened because of the lack of visuals showing it was Renton on the video[original research?]).
