Chris Hackney is an energetic and versatile American voice actor currently based in Los Angeles, CA. Originally from Florida, Chris first pursued music in college before discovering the world of acting, which opened up a whole new creative outlet for him. After years of training and a bold cross-country move, Chris found his true passion in voiceover and hasn’t looked back since.

You can hear Chris’s dynamic performances in a wide variety of mediums, from commercials to anime, video games, and animation. He’s best known for his iconic roles such as the noble Rauru in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, the fierce Dimitri in Fire Emblem: Three Houses, the smooth Kamisato Ayato in Genshin Impact, and the intense Urogi in Demon Slayer. Fans also love his chilling portrayal of Illumi in Hunter x Hunter and his badass turn as V.IV. Rusty in Armored Core 6. With each role, Chris brings characters to life with a mix of heart, energy, and fun.
