Richard Michael Epcar (born April 29, 1955) is an American actor and director who has voiced over 500 characters in games, cartoons and anime. He is the husband of voice actress Ellyn Stern, with whom he owns and operates Epcar Entertainment, Inc., a voiceover production service company based in Los Angeles, California. On September 28, 2011, Epcar appeared on the podcast Disasterpiece Theatre to discuss his ideas for a live-action version of Ghost in the Shell.
The Germanic first or given name Richard derives from German, French, and English "ric" (ruler, leader, king) and "hard" (strong, brave), and it therefore means "powerful leader". Nicknames include "Dick", "Dickie", "Rich", "Richie", "Rick", "Ricky", "Rickey", and others.
"Richard" is a common name in many Germanic languages, including English, German, Norwegian, Danish, Swedish, Icelandic, and Dutch. It can also be used as a French, Hungarian, Finnish, and Estonian name.
Ghost in the Shell (攻殻機動隊, Kōkaku Kidōtai, literally "Mobile Armored Riot Police") is a Japanese media franchise originally published as a seinen manga series of the same name written and illustrated by Masamune Shirow. The manga, first serialized in 1989 under the subtitle of The Ghost in the Shell, and later published as its own tankōbon volumes by Kodansha, told the story of the fictional counter-cyberterrorist organization Public Security Section 9, led by protagonist Major Motoko Kusanagi, in the mid 21st century of Japan.
Animation studio Production I.G has produced several different anime adaptations of Ghost in the Shell, starting with the 1995 film of the same name, telling the story of Section 9's investigation of the Puppet Master. The television series Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex followed in 2002, telling an alternate story from the manga and first film, featuring Section 9's investigations of government corruption in the Laughing Man and Individual Eleven incidents. The year 2013 saw the start of the Ghost in the Shell: Arise original video animation (OVA) series, consisting of four episodes through mid-2014. The series was recompiled in early 2015 as a television series titled Ghost in the Shell: Arise - Alternative Architecture, airing with an additional two episodes. An animated feature film produced by most of the Arise staff, titled Ghost in the Shell: The New Movie was released on June 20, 2015. A live action film of the same name is scheduled for release on March 31, 2017.

Mr. Richard Epcar took time from his busy schedule to talk to the press at Anime Central 2015. He is best known as the voice of Batou in "Ghost in the Shell", The Joker in "Injustice: Gods Among Us", and Ansem in Kingdom Hearts. Richard's impressive career covers everything from Robotech, Digimon, X-Men, Mortal Combat, Call of Duty, and hundreds of others. He was voted one of the top 20 Anime Actors of all time from IMDB. Join in a peek behind the voice in this intervies from ACEN.
Xehanort's Heartless, Ansem the Seeker of Darkness, was voiced by Billy Zane in the original Kingdom Hearts. For all of the other games, the role was recast and given to Richard Epcar. Epcar does a great job putting his own deliciously evil spin on the character, but I found that if Disney really wanted to cast a voice who could replicate Zane's original performance , there were two even better choices - Jamieson Price and Clancy Brown. I put their voices to clips of Ansem here. I love all these renditions, but overall I'd rank them: 1. Billy Zane 2. Clancy Brown 3. Jamieson Price 4. Richard Epcar
