Returning to Anime Conji is Jon Allen, our host of Anime Last Comic Standing!

“Jon is a professional actor, voice actor, and touring comedian. A veteran of ten years in the world of voiceover, he has contributed his voice to every niche of the business, including everything ranging from animated series and video games to radio commercials, corporate narration, and telephone messaging. He’s perhaps best known as of late for being the voice of Jarvis, the main character in PAIN, the Playstation 3 Network’s most purchased title. He’s also been heard in over a dozen other video games, including Warhammer Tactics, High Velocity Bowling, Jack Keane, Elvira’s Monster Stack ‘N Match, and many others. On television he’s been seen in the series “The Ex-List” and Comedy Central’s “My Profile Story,” and such award winning films as Donut Shop Hero and Save Ron Jr. Jon’s also worked as a voice actor on the anime titles Dragonball Z (the most Googled anime of all time) and Ergo Proxy, and was a contributing writer for Beckett Magazine. Jon was also responsible for most of the comedy MP3s of DBZ that were circulating the internet from the late 90′s into the early 2000′s, including the very popular “Krillin Prank Call.” When not busy with other acting pursuits, he also does all the celebrity sound-alike drops for NugLifeRadio, and contributes to the independent pro wrestling scene in California, having done everything from announcing and color commentary to being a bad guy manager, and contributing to False Count Radio. He can be seen in the best selling book “The Art of Voice Acting,” as well as performing at various clubs throughout the country, speaking on his many adventures in life and the entertainment industry.

Robert Trebor has been called “A Renaissance Man of Hollywood.” Actor, director, screenwriter, author, monologist, composer and critic, his oeuvre has spanned four decades in film, television publishing and the stage. He began his entertainment career as a film critic and has worked with such diverse personalities as John Frankenheimer, Oliver Stone, Lucy Lawless, Kevin Sorbo, Roy Scheider, Rob Zombie, Martin Sheen and Hilary Duff. He is perhaps best known for his continuing role as Salmoneus on the popular Xena and Hercules television shows, and his startling portrayal of The Son of Sam in the TV movie Out Of The Darkness.  He recently won a slew of LA theatre awards for (among others) his one man show-The Return of Brother Theodore, a Russian major in Ravensridge, a sex-starved lawyer in La Ronde de Lunch, and an 800 year old Islamic Genii in Guest of the Sultan. He is also the author of Dear Salmoneus: The World’s First Guide to Love and Money,which has been called “an hysterically funny tome that you can pick up anytime, and is always available to give you hearty chuckles” (Dreamwatch magazine).  Bob will sell and sign his book at the con.  He is also author of A Lust For Acting: An Unreliable Memoir,currently looking for a publisher.
