William Ross (ウィリアム・ロス,   Wiriamu Rosu), also credited as Bill Ross (ビル・ロス,   Biru Rosu), was an American actor, writer, producer, and film dubber. Ross came to Japan after the Korean War to join the U.S. state department.[2] By the late 1950s, however, he found steady work in the Japanese film industry, both in front of the camera and as a writer, director, and performer of English-dubbed versions of Japanese films.[2] In 1964, he opened his own dubbing firm in Tokyo, Frontier Enterprises, which dubbed over 465 feature films into English over the next several decades.[1] Ross passed away in Tokyo on April 19, 2014 at the age of 90.
