Steven Blum

Steven Jay Blum (born April 29, 1960 in Santa Monica, California) is an American voice actor and ADR script writer. He did various odd jobs before pursuing his career full-time. Married with two children, he is also a Jewish Spiritualist. He was awarded a Guinness World Record for having been credited in more than 260 different IPs, promotional media, and audio books. He has been credited under the following names: Stephen Jay Blum, Steven J. Blum, Steven Jay, David Lucas, Brandon Jeremy, Richard Cardona, Andrew Watton, Daniel Andrews, and Roger Canfield.

Blum is often typecast for the gruff-sounding, experienced characters prevalent in the video game industry. Usually, he prefers to learn his character as he performs rather than preemptively research his parts. A few of his roles include Spike Spiegel in Cowboy Bebop, Orochimaru in Naruto, and Count Vertigo in Young Justice and the DC Showcase: Green Arrow short.
