Career
Tom Wyner was a recurring voice actor in the Power Rangers franchise. He also wrote "Green with Evil - Part III; The Rescue" which is considered the weakest episode of the iconic five part episode as well as "Calamity Kimberly". He was let go when Disney took over the Power Rangers franchise.
When he attended Power Morphicon 2018, Tom Wyner denied that he was the voice of Master Vile in Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers and confirmed that the character was actually voiced by Simon Prescott.[1]
He also voiced Death in Castlevania: Lament of Innocence, Castlevania: Curse of Darkness and Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin, and also voiced True Dracula in the latter game. He was later replaced in Castlevania: The Dracula X Chronicles by Patrick Seitz.
Tom is also famous for his work as M. Bison in both Street Fighter II: The Animated Movie and Street Fighter II V, the Puppet Master in Ghost in the Shell, and Master Vile in Mighty Morphin Power Rangers.
