Yuri Lowenthal is Spider Man. Oh, you want more? He started voicing projects in the early ’90s and has a long and illustrious career on- and off-camera. (He also produces and writes.) Some of Yuri’s more notable projects include “Batman,” “Prince of Persia,” “Fallout,” “Call Of Duty,” “World of Warcraft,” “DuckTales,” “Spy Kids,” “Star Wars,” “Avengers Assemble,” and “Transformers.”
