Dameon J. Clarke is a Canadian actor and voice actor best known for his role as Handsome Jack in the Borderlands series and Cell in the Dragon Ball series.
Biography[]
Clarke was born in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada, on January 16, 1972. He started acting in Vancouver, British Columbia, when he was eleven years old, with his first role being in a made-for-TV movie called Secrets of a Married Man. After taking a break so that he could finish school, he returned to voice acting by the time he was 25 years old. In the early 2000s, his career received a boost when he managed to gain a leading role in the film A Scanner Darkly while he was living in Dallas, Texas.
He was introduced to Funimation Productions, after which he provided his voice for the English dubs of many anime, including Dragon Ball Z, Fullmetal Alchemist, Yu Yu Hakasho, and many others. Clarke eventually earned a BTVA Award for his portrayal of Cell in Dragon Ball Z. He later moved to Los Angeles, California, in around 2005 and started working in television and film. Clarke became one of the few actors to have guest-starred on three of the four shows in the CSI franchise and two of three shows in the NCIS franchise. In 2008, Clarke starred in the film How to be a Serial Killer, for which he won several best actor awards, including at the NY Horror Film Festival and the LA Shriekfest Film Festival.
Clarke has voiced over 200 characters, including Handsome Jack in the video game series Borderlands 2, Borderlands, The Presequel!, and Tales From the Borderlands. After the release of Borderlands 2, Handsome Jack became so popular that despite having him killed off, Gearbox Software developed Borderlands, The Presequel! to develop the character's backstory and to allow the player to play as him for the first time. Telltale Games also brought the character back from the dead in Tales From the Borderlands. He won several awards for his portrayal of Handsome Jack, including the notable Spike TV Video Game Award for Best Performance by a Human Male.

Clarke portrayed Christopher Crawford, one of Karl Arnold's victims, in the Season One episode "The Fox".
