William James Remar (born December 31, 1953) is an American screen and voice actor. He is probably best known for his live action roles as Dexter's father Harry Morgan in Dexter, Ajax in The Warriors, on-off tycoon Richard in Sex and the City, Albert Ganz in the 1982 comedy/thriller 48 Hrs., Dutch Shultz in The Cotton Club, Lord Raiden in Mortal Kombat: Annihilation and Peter Gambi in Black Lightning.

In the realm of voice acting, he has been the evil alien Vilgax in Ben 10: Alien Force and Ultimate Alien (a role he took over from Steve Blum before he retook it during Ben 10: Omniverse), the Carter Hall Hawkman and the Manhunters in Justice League, Chef Larousse in Pixar's Ratatouille (which stars Patton Oswalt and features Brad Garrett), Two-Face in Batman: The Brave and The Bold, Black Mask in The Batman, Icicle Sr. in Young Justice, and Walter Hardy in The Spectacular Spider-Man (which stars Josh Keaton).

Notes

  • An August 2010 press release claimed that Remar would be appearing in Transformers: Prime, but as the series ended with no sign of him, it seems that either the document's writer confused him with James Horan or they meant Dark of the Moon.
  • Prior to the launch of the War for Cybertron games, many mistook Remar as the voice of Megatron in the game, leading to him being miscredited as the character in some preview coverage. This was later set straight following the game's release, and credit for the role was rightly attributed to Fred Tatasciore.
