Pokémon roles
Zoppi is one of the original actors on the anime. Aside from his role as Gary Oak, he mainly played characters of the day until Pokémon: Battle Frontier, when The Pokémon Company International, then known as Pokémon USA, took over the dub. When his voice-acting duties increased, becoming the voice of James and Meowth of Team Rocket as well as Professor Oak, he took on the pseudonym Billy Beach. Previously, for the 4Kids-dubbed episodes of the anime, Cathcart went under the pseudonym Jimmy Zoppi, his most well-known pseudonym.
Since season 5 he has been responsible for the script adaptation of episodes, a role which he still performs on the show. As script adapter, in 4Kids-dubbed episodes he was credited as Carter Cathcart, the name he now uses in his voice acting duties as of In the Shadow of Zekrom and in TPCi-dubbed episodes he is credited under his real name.
He remains one of the longest running voice actors for the English dub next to Kayzie Rogers. He is the only English voice actor in the series to work on the dub of every season of the anime so far.
