You know his characters. You’ve probably never seen his face.

JP Karliak has voiced some of the most recognizable performances in animation and gaming, Morph in X-Men ’97, the Joker in Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, but this conversation isn’t a credits rundown. It’s about the person doing the work.

On this episode of Back to Pop, JP talks candidly about growing up before the studios and conventions, the sacrifices no one sees, and what it really takes To disappear into a character without losing yourself. He opens up about carrying the legacy of a role that started in the early ‘90s, about finding the comedic timing behind one of pop culture’s most infamous villains, and about the fear every performer carries even after the wins start piling up.


Along the way, JP shares his work with Queer Vox and NerdsVote , and what “success” looks like to him now versus twenty years ago.
