==Early life and career==
'''Christopher Owen Ayres''' (Born [[May 16]], [[1965]] in [[Richmond, Virginia]]) is an [[United States|American]] [[voice actor]] best-known for voicing anime characters. Chris is the lesser-known brother of [[Greg Ayres]]. Unlike Greg though, Chris has had more experience in terms of directing and writing and has even directed theatre productions.
Ayres had his first professional acting gig in a [[Television advertisement|commercial]] for Lollipop Soft Drinks in [[Richmond, Virginia]], when he was six years old.<ref>{{Cite web |title=FAQ |url=http://www.christopherayres-va.com/Faq.htm |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120601032404/http://www.christopherayres-va.com/Faq.htm |archive-date=June 1, 2012 |access-date=October 23, 2021}}</ref> The Ayres family moved to the [[Alief, Houston]], area of [[Houston, Texas]], when he was 12,<ref>{{Cite web |title=Christopher Ayres Places Lived |url=https://www.facebook.com/christopher.ayres.3/about_places |access-date=October 23, 2021 |website=[[Facebook]]}}</ref> where Chris attended Alief Middle School,<ref>{{Cite news |date=July 11, 2002 |title=Famed musical opens Friday at westside theater |url=https://www.chron.com/neighborhood/memorial-news/article/Famed-musical-opens-Friday-at-westside-theater-2089488.php |access-date=October 23, 2021 |work=Chron}}</ref> and then [[Alief Elsik High School]].

== Personal life and death ==
Chris Ayres is recognized not only for his [[Dubbing (filmmaking)|dub]] work in popular [[anime]], but also for his famous combat cosplay workshop he teaches at [[anime convention]]s.
In November 2017, Ayres was diagnosed with end-stage [[chronic obstructive pulmonary disease]] and required a [[double lung transplant]] to survive. A [[YouCaring]] fundraiser was created that sought $25,000 to assist with medical care and procedures.<ref name="croll copd">{{Cite web|url=https://www.crunchyroll.com/anime-news/2017/11/16/fundraiser-aims-to-help-voice-actor-christopher-ayres|title=Fundraiser Aims To Help Voice Actor Christopher Ayres|first=Scott|last=Green|website=Crunchyroll|access-date=April 20, 2020}}</ref><ref name="ann copd">{{cite web|title=Fundraising Launched for Vital Medical Treatment for Voice Actor Chris Ayres|url=https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2017-11-16/fundraising-launched-for-vital-medical-treatment-for-voice-actor-chris-ayres/.124098|website=[[Anime News Network]]|access-date=February 10, 2018}}</ref>


Ayres died on October 18, 2021, at the age of 56 years, following years of complications from pulmonary disease. His death was announced on [[Twitter]] the following day by his partner and fellow [[voice actress]], [[Krystal LaPorte]].<ref>{{cite news |last=Valdez |first=Nick |date=October 19, 2021 |title=Chris Ayres, Dragon Ball's Voice of Frieza, Passes Away |work=ComicBook.com |publisher=[[ViacomCBS]] |url=https://comicbook.com/anime/news/chris-ayres-dragon-ball-frieza-voice-dies/ |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211020034933/https://comicbook.com/anime/news/chris-ayres-dragon-ball-frieza-voice-dies/ |archive-date=October 20, 2021 |url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{Cite magazine |last=Huff |first=Lauren |date=October 19, 2021 |title=Chris Ayres, voice actor known for Dragon Ball's Frieza, dies at 56 |magazine=[[Entertainment Weekly]] |url=https://ew.com/tv/chris-ayres-voice-actor-dragon-ball-dies/ |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211020033721/https://ew.com/tv/chris-ayres-voice-actor-dragon-ball-dies/ |archive-date=October 20, 2021 |url-status=live}}</ref>
Occasionally his surname is listed as '''Ayers''' instead of '''Ayres''', however this spelling is incorrect as his legal name is "Christopher Ayres".

Christopher Owen Ayres (May 16, 1965 – October 18, 2021)[1] was an American actor, director and scriptwriter. He worked on voice acting and ADR directing on a number of English dubs of Japanese anime shows.[3] In anime, he was known as the voice of Frieza from Dragon Ball Z Kai and Dragon Ball Super, Kei Kurono from Gantz, Prince Soma from Black Butler, and Shingen Takeda from the Sengoku Basara series. He was also known for Mock Combat for Cosplay panels at anime conventions.[4][5]

Early life and career

[edit]

Ayres had his first professional acting gig in a commercial for Lollipop Soft Drinks in Richmond, Virginia, when he was six years old.[6] The Ayres family moved to the Alief, Houston, area of Houston, Texas, when he was 12,[7] where Chris attended Alief Middle School,[8] and then Alief Elsik High School. He graduated in 1983.[9] After graduating high school Ayres attended Lon Morris College in Jacksonville, Texas, and studied theatre until 1985.[9] He returned to Houston and continued to study theatre at the University of Houston.[9] Prior to his voice acting and ADR directing career, he was well known as a stage director, choreographer, and fight director in the Houston Theatre community.[10][11]

Personal life and death

[edit]

In November 2017, Ayres was diagnosed with end-stage chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and required a double lung transplant to survive. A YouCaring fundraiser was created that sought $25,000 to assist with medical care and procedures.[12][13]

Ayres died on October 18, 2021, at the age of 56 years, following years of complications from pulmonary disease. His death was announced on Twitter the following day by his partner and fellow voice actress, Krystal LaPorte.[14][15]
