Biography[]
Drummond was born in Salmon Arm, British Columbia. A graduate of the acclaimed Studio 58, he started out as a theatre actor, but eventually found himself moving into voice acting full-time. Based out of Vancouver, BC, he works on various animated programs.
Most well known for his role as Vegeta and Yajirobe in the Ocean Studios English dub of the anime series Dragon Ball Z, Drummond tends to be cast as either an impassive warrior (Andrew Waltfeld), or a kind-hearted father-figure (Reverend Malchio). He has also played the role of the cowardly Yuna Roma Seiran in Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Destiny as well as Ryuk in Death Note. He has landed prominent roles in various anime such as Renkotsu in InuYasha, and Mobile Suit Gundam Wing as Zechs Merquise. Drummond has also appeared in Da Vinci's Inquest in minor background roles.
He is married to Laura Drummond and has a son and two daughters, Aidan, Brynna (pronounced BRIN-ah), and Ashlyn, who have also begun to follow in their father's voice-over work. His daughter Brynna has provided the voice of Babs Seed, the cousin of Apple Bloom and her siblings, on the television series My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic, a show which Drummond has also appeared in.
