Peter Kelamis is an Australian actor and stand-up comedian.{{cite book|last=Willis|first=John|title=Screen World: 2005 Film Annual|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=UCCkhsztnYgC&pg=PA34|access-date=17 August 2011|date=2006-04-01|publisher=Hal Leonard Corporation|isbn=978-1-55783-668-7|pages=34–}} He is best known for voice roles including Goku in Ocean's English dub of the animated series Dragon Ball Z (succeeding Ian James Corlett and preceding Kirby Morrow), Rolf from Ed, Edd n Eddy, Tail Terrier in Krypto the Superdog, Dr. Adam Brody in Stargate Universe, and Wing Saber in Transformers: Cybertron, replacing the character's previous voice actor Colin Murdock.

Career

Some of his appearances on television were in Eureka, The Outer Limits, Corner Gas, Sliders, Stargate SG-1, Stargate Universe, The Sentinel, NCIS and The X-Files. Film appearances include; Happy Gilmore, Fear of Flying, I'll Be Home for Christmas, Best in Show, The Sport Pages: The Heidi Bowl, and Everything's Gone Green. Kelamis also had a recurring role in Beggars and Choosers.

As a voice actor, he replaced Ian James Corlett as the voice of Goku during 1997 in FUNimation/Saban's short-lived original dub of Dragon Ball Z, and also voiced Goku in FUNimation and Pioneer's 1997-1998 dub of the Dragon Ball Z films Dead Zone, The World's Strongest, and The Tree of Might.{{cite book |last1=Chance |first1=Norman |title=Who Was Who on TV, Volume 1 |date=2010 |publisher=Xlibris Corporation}} During 2000, Kelamis reprised the role in an unrelated dub produced by Westwood Media and AB Groupe for the UK (and later Canada). He left in the middle of the Cell arc, with Kirby Morrow voicing Goku for the remainder of the production. Kelamis has since stated he would have continued voicing Goku for the rest of the series, but was under the impression that the dub was ending, when it was in fact merely on a temporary recording hiatus.[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GAzgZB1qTTE 2018 Peter Kelamis Dragon Ball Z interview] Youtube. Retrieved 18 December 2019. He has also voiced Rolf in Ed, Edd n Eddy as well as Whiplash in Iron Man: Armored Adventures. Kelamis originally auditioned to play the Eds as well as the other male characters in Ed, Edd n Eddy but did not land either role. Instead, Kelamis was encouraged by voice director Terry Klassen to play the character of Rolf. He also voiced Reaper in the video game Devil Kings as well as provided the voice of Byrne in the CGI animation, Dreamkix.

Outside of acting, Kelamis also worked as a stand-up comedian,{{Cite web|url=https://www.yvrscreenscene.com/home/2019/10/1/episode-twenty-five-peter-kelamis|title=Episode Twenty-Five: Peter Kelamis|website=YVR Screen Scene|date=October 2019 }}{{cite web|url=https://voicechasers.com/database/showactor.php?actorid=2383|title=Peter Kelamis|access-date=17 August 2020|publisher=voicechasers.com}} he performed his first stand-up comedy act in the fourth grade. Kelamis made his first stand-up comedy appearance at the Punchlines Comedy Club in Gastown.{{Cite web|url=http://comedywest.com/peterkelamis/|title=Comedy West|website=comedywest.com}}
