Source-derived summary

Michael James Worman (born May 1, 1944) is a former Tokyo-based American voice actor who did work for Frontier Enterprises.

Characterized by his distinct high-pitched voice, he did voice acting work for the company from sometime in the mid 1970s until its closure in 2000 (with his last credited role being Pierre Simon in Covert Ops: Nuclear Dawn). Aside from his acting career, Worman also co-authored the book Practical Thai Cooking with Puangkram Smith in 1985. He since retired back to his native Wisconsin.

Editorial summary

This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Mike Worman” as american voice actor. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.

Editorial reviewStrongest as a route into the people, institutions and dated events that shaped the subject’s public record. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—1944, 2000, 1985, 1989—that can be checked directly. The linked authority record independently contributes the date 1945-05-01. The account is most persuasive where Mike, Worman and American can be independently traced.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The subject matters to the people & ideas register because the source frames it as american voice actor. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.

Evidence profile

Biographical claims are most persuasive when dates, appointments and relationships can be traced to records created close to the events described. The source revision retrieved here is dated Feb 24, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q85627671. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1944, 2000, 1985 and 1989.

Critical limits

A concise life account rarely captures disputed attribution, private networks or the changing language used to describe a career. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
