Early life

Freeman was born in Chicago. [1] His father is Jewish. [2] He is the oldest of three children. His sister Cassidy is an actress, while his brother Clark is an actor and musician. [3] Freeman graduated from the Latin School of Chicago in 1990 and earned a BA from Williams College, where he majored in theater and minored in computer science.[ citation needed ] He then earned an MFA in acting from Columbia University and went on to perform on Broadway, at the American Repertory Theater, at the Mark Taper Forum, at Cincinnati's Playhouse in the Park, and at the Williamstown Theater Festival.[ citation needed ] As a child, he was greatly influenced by anime such as Speed Racer and Battle of the Planets .

Knowing Freeman was a big anime fan, a friend suggested he call up Central Park Media (CPM) and apply for a job doing English dubs. When originally approached about dubbing, he initially declined. It was not until he remembered all of the anime shows he watched as a child that he realized that many people are introduced to anime through the English dubbed versions. In 1997, Freeman landed the role of Zelgadis Graywords in Slayers along with Lisa Ortiz, Eric Stuart and Veronica Taylor. He was the second and final voice actor to get the job after Zelgadis' original voice actor, Daniel Cronin, lost contact with CPM after a year-long halt in the dubbing. Years later, he turned to the American animation voice acting grounds.

Freeman has been best known for his work in Marvel Comics-based productions such as The Spectacular Spider-Man , Wolverine and the X-Men and The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes . He then starred as several versions of Roy Harper in Young Justice for DC Comics and Warner Bros. Since then, Freeman has had various roles throughout his career. He has appeared in many video game titles as memorable characters, such as Albedo from Namco's Xenosaga series, the god of the sun Helios in God of War III and God of War Ragnarök: Valhalla , Haji, Joel the 6th and Van Argeno in Blood+ , the main protagonist Baldur in Silicon Knights's Too Human , Breakdown in Transformers: War for Cybertron , the Winter Soldier in Marvel: Ultimate Alliance , and Iron Man in Marvel: Ultimate Alliance 2 .

Freeman teaches classes, workshops, and performance lectures in the Los Angeles area. [4] In addition to classes, Freeman has a website called Voice Acting Mastery which includes podcasts and other resources regarding voice acting. [5]

In February 2023, Freeman guest voiced Lieutenant Nolan, an Imperial lieutenant with particular disdain for clones, the commanding officer of Crosshair, in Star Wars: The Bad Batch . [6]
