A Murray State alumnus and former Paducah resident is providing the English voice for a Japanese icon in a series of films.
Daniel Van Thomas has been cast as the voice of Ultraman Zero, in the English language versions of the continuing live-action film series.
The Ultraman franchise has been around for 50 years, first as a television show then moving to novels, mangas and video games.
Van Thomas has also appeared in the locally-produced horror western, Revelation Trail, and provided his voice to the popular video game, Red Dead Redemption. In a Facebook post, Van Thomas said his Ultraman movies will be available in the U.S. soon.
Van Thomas graduated Murray State in 2007 and Lone Oak High School in 2003.
