Paul Dobson, of the brothers Dobson (himself, Michael, and Brian), is an accomplished Canadian voice actor, one of the many who work with Ocean Group, based in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. Paul is frequently cast in one of two roles: a brilliantly cunning, evil villain, or a thuggish strong guy. He also plays characters that provide some sense of comic relief, usually a minion of some kind of relatively small size like Myoga on "InuYasha'.

Arguably, Paul's most notable role as a villainous character would be Naraku from "InuYasha", with the manipulative Sideways from "" and the vicious dark-hunter Nidhiki from "Bionicle 2: Legends of Metru Nui" as close seconds. As the tough guy, he is recognized as the elder Enzo Matrix from "ReBoot", and the unstoppable Juggernaut from "X-Men Evolution". His prominent comedic roles are Myoga from "InuYasha", and Howdy from "Hamtaro", as well as Happosai from "Ranma ½". He commonly acts alongside his brothers, such as during the hit Bionicle movies B2 and B3, in which he also played Toa Whenua (a strong-guy character), as well as during "Ranma 1/2" and "Hamtaro". He is currently playing Doctor Doom in the new animated series and is slated to play Graham Aker in Gundam 00 when it appears on SCI FI in November 2008.
