Quick Facts
Biography
Nam Doh-hyeong (Hangul: 남도형; Hanja: 南度亨; born March 12, 1983 in lunar calendar) is a South Korean voice actor.
Nam was born in Gangneung, South Korea. At the age of 23, he began working as a voice actor after joining Korean Broadcasting System's voice acting division. Shortly after, he debuted with one of the supporting roles on the digital restoration of a 1976 South Korean animated film Robot Taekwon V. In 2003, before starting his career, Nam participated in dubbing of a third-person shooter video game for PlayStation 2, Mobile Suit Gundam: Encounters in Space. He voiced one of the soldiers and the pilots, as a winner of a game-related event at that time.
The voice actor has been a freelancer since 2009. One year later, he began receiving the attention of a wide public, with his role as Jamal Malik on the Korean dub of Slumdog Millionaire. His voice could be heard also in Sid the Science Kid, Animal Detective Kiruminzoo, The Hurt Locker, The Legend of the Legendary Heroes, and The Greatest. Nam's breakout work was Fairy Tail. He made a big name for himself after voicing Natsu Dragneel in the Korean-dubbed Japanese television animation series. In 2012, The Lorax became his first theatrical animated film to dub a leading role. He voiced Ted Wiggins on the Korean dub of the film.
Nam made his screen debut with the 2013 film No Breathing. In the early part of the film, he could be seen performing the role of a sports commentator.
Nam has become well known for his voicing Rory Williams on the Korean dub of a British science fiction television series Doctor Who, Dent on the Korean dub of Pokémon: Best Wishes!, Raf Esquivel and Knock Out on the Korean dub of Transformers: Prime, and more recently, Rigby on the Korean dub of an American animated television series Regular Show.
