Andrew Kishino works on versatility rather than volume, and the catalogue keeps proving that the quieter choice was the correct one.
The essay
Our editors on the work, the patterns and the reason this body of work holds together.
Andrew Kishino appears in 7 films in the Nutevio catalogue, and none of them would work the same way without Andrew. The Day the Earth Blew Up: A Looney Tunes Movie is the clearest case: a film rated 7.6 by our editors, where the performance carries weight the script only implies.
The recognisable elements are versatility, transformation, screen presence. Watch two of these films back to back and the method separates from the material — the same instrument, tuned differently for science fiction, comedy, adventure. It is a style built on what is withheld as much as what is played.
Working with Peter Browngardt, Shinsuke Terasawa, Jake Castorena and others, Andrew Kishino helped set a standard other performers now audition against. Awards bodies have been slower than the work, which is usually the sign of a career built on choices rather than campaigns.

The defining work
#1
Floor Manager (voice)
The Day the Earth Blew Up: A Looney Tunes Movie (2024)
Performance score7.4
The performance the rest of the career is read through. Floor Manager (voice) gives Andrew Kishino a structure to work against, and the film hands over its centre of gravity without hesitation.
View movie#2
Additional Voices (voice)
Incredibles 2 (2018)
Performance score7.3
Incredibles 2 asks for something the previous films did not, and gets it. Additional Voices (voice) is played without a single line of pleading for the audience's sympathy — which is exactly why it lands.
View movie#3

Performance score7.1
Batman vs Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles asks for something the previous films did not, and gets it. Shredder (voice) is played without a single line of pleading for the audience's sympathy — which is exactly why it lands.

Best entry point
as Floor Manager (voice)
Start here. The Day the Earth Blew Up: A Looney Tunes Movie is the clearest statement of what Andrew Kishino does — accessible, 91 minutes, and rated 7.6 by our editors. No context required.
Our editors order this path by accessibility first and chronology second. You meet Andrew at the most legible performance, then move forward in time so each film reads as a response to the one before it rather than a repetition of it.
Superman vs. The Elite (2012)
Keeps the science fiction register of The Day the Earth Blew Up: A Looney Tunes Movie but asks for a colder reading of it.
The Lion Guard: Return of the Roar (2016)
Keeps the animation register of Superman vs. The Elite but asks for a colder reading of it.
Incredibles 2 (2018)
Keeps the adventure register of The Lion Guard: Return of the Roar but asks for a colder reading of it.
Batman vs Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2019)
Keeps the action register of Incredibles 2 but asks for a colder reading of it.

Categories of our own
Six editorial categories we apply to every performer we cover.
Most rewatchable
Incredibles 2
as Additional Voices (voice)
The one that survives a fourth viewing. Nothing in the performance depends on surprise, which is why it keeps paying out.
Most emotional performance
The Monkey King
as King Yama / Demon of Havoc (voice)
Grief played at conversational volume. The film never asks the audience to cry; the performance simply makes it difficult not to.
Most influential performance
The Day the Earth Blew Up: A Looney Tunes Movie
as Floor Manager (voice)
You can hear this reading in other actors' auditions a decade later — the surest measure of influence there is.
Best ensemble performance
Incredibles 2
as Additional Voices (voice)
Work that makes everyone else in the frame better without ever pulling the camera towards itself.
Career defining performance
The Day the Earth Blew Up: A Looney Tunes Movie
as Floor Manager (voice)
If the career had to be argued in a single scene, our editors would pick one from this film and rest the case.
In their films' words
“You can build a whole film around a performer who knows when not to speak. Andrew Kishino has known it for a long time.”

Our desk
Best ending, best opening, best twist and the rest — categories we apply to everyone we cover.
Best ending
The Day the Earth Blew Up: A Looney Tunes Movie
as Floor Manager (voice)
The last five minutes reorganise everything before them, and hold up when you already know what's coming.
Best opening
Batman vs Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
as Shredder (voice)
A first sequence that states the rules of the film without explaining a single one of them.
Most emotional
The Monkey King
as King Yama / Demon of Havoc (voice)
The film where the technique steps aside and lets the feeling arrive undefended.
Best twist
The Monkey King
as King Yama / Demon of Havoc (voice)
A reversal earned by information the film gave you and trusted you to misread.
Best visual achievement
Incredibles 2
as Additional Voices (voice)
Images that would survive with the sound switched off.
Best action sequence
Batman vs Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
as Shredder (voice)
Geography, stakes and consequence held in the same frame — spectacle you can follow.
Best dialogue
Batman vs Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
as Shredder (voice)
Lines written to be spoken, staged so the pauses do half the work.
Most underrated film
Incredibles 2
as Additional Voices (voice)
The public vote sits below ours on this one, and the direction is the reason for the gap.
