    Chris Tergliafera Interview — VA Of Avdol from JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure! | Anime Los Angeles 26

    Had the honor of talking with the legend himself, CHRIS TERGLIAFERA, aka the voice behind MOHAMMED AVDOL 🔥🦅

    We talked about bringing Avdol to life, what makes JoJo fans so passionate (and hilariously dramatic), and how voice actors build characters through performance and vocal choices. Chris also broke down how different the process is between anime dubbing, original animation, and video game roles — and yes, the range is REAL 😤🎙️

    It’s always amazing hearing behind-the-scenes stories straight from the booth: the lines that hit, the sessions that pushed him, and the characters that surprised him along the way. The anime & gaming communities are lucky to have talents like him carrying the culture 💯🙏

    Anime Los Angeles 2026 continues to be a blessing to fans — voice actors, cosplayers, creatives, and fandom energy all under one roof 🤝🔥
