Jason Gray-Stanford (born May 19, 1970) is a Canadian actor. He is best known for having played the hapless Lieutenant Randy Disher in the TV program Monk.
Gray-Stanford earned a BFA degree from the University of British Columbia in theatre. He has done extensive dubbing work for various Japanese anime movies and series, and also contributed background vocals to Russell Crowe's 30 Odd Foot of Grunts album Gaslight. He played Deputy Bobby Michan in the 1999 movie Mystery Alaska and appeared in the 2001 movie A Beautiful Mind, both starring Crowe. He appeared in the 2006 Clint Eastwood film, Flags of our Fathers as Lieutenant Schrier.
He was the voice of Kento Rei Faun in the anime Ronin Warriors, and the original English voice of Raditz and Cui in the Ocean Group dub of Dragonball Z, as well as the voice of Shinnosuke in the English dub of Ranma 1/2 and the voice of Joe Higashi in the Fatal Fury OVAs and film. He also appeared on an episode of Stargate SG-1.
Jason Gray-Stanford is also known as the first voice of Yusaku Godai in Maison Ikkoku. However, after episode 36, the dubbing of the series was halted due to poor sales, during which the dubbing company lost contact with Gray-Stanford as well as several other actors. Since episode 37, Godai has been voiced by Brad Swaile. Gray-Stanford also voiced Donatello in the 1997 TV series, Ninja Turtles: The Next Mutation.
