Dragon Ball Z Actor Kyle Hebert on his Decades-Long Career, Conquering Jealousy of Younger Actors, Being an Introvert in a SOCIAL AF Industry, How Therapy Changed His Life and MORE!

Now You See Me with Cassandra Lee Morris

Kyle Hebert has voiced over 700 characters for anime and video games like Dragon Ball Z, Bleach, JuJutsu Kaisen, Naruto and Street Fighter. We chat about his decades-long career, how he made the move to Los Angeles from Texas, the very real jealousy that comes with competing against younger actors, how he handles being an introvert in an industry that seemingly celebrates extroverts, what therapy taught him personally and professionally, and more! We also talk about how he networked his way into studio auditions in Los Angeles and teachers he's learned from and looks up to.
