Matthew Brian Greenfield (born January 12, 1965) is an American producer, scriptwriter, director and voice actor.
[5] His grandparents, Esther (née Weaver, 1917–2013) and Joseph Doering (1906–1975), worked at jewelry shops in Los Angeles; Esther was also a longtime member of the Shasta Dam Methodist Church (now known as the Shasta Lake Community United Methodist Church).
[6] Originally a fan who ran an anime club in Houston, Texas (known as "Anime NASA") starting in 1985 alongside classmate and AD Vision founder David Williams, Greenfield and Williams met fellow enthusiast John Ledford in 1992 and the three quickly formed AD Vision, a name later condensed to ADV Films.
The company, which began as an importer of anime, marketing primarily to the existing network of anime fans, rapidly expanded and soon had its own dedicated dubbing studios and a distribution network that also handled international marketing, licensing and North American home video distribution for a wide variety of other programming, including non-ADV produced animated titles such as Sailor Moon, Robotech, Hello Kitty and ReBoot, and a diverse lineup of live action programming that ranged from Japanese horror and kaiju productions such as Gamera: Guardian of the Universe, Daimajin and the all-time Godzilla classic Destroy All Monsters.
He continues to write and produce English dubs for new companies and distributors such as Sentai Filmworks and Section23 Films via post-production house/dubbing studio Seraphim Digital.
