Carli Mosier - Anime Convention Personality of the Week - December 9, 2007
From wrestling on the floor with costumers to singing and dancing on stage with a rock band, actor Carli Mosier made a fast adjustment to life as an anime convention guest of honor. The veteran of theatrical productions in Houston first came to fans' attention with her performance as Yukika Karakuri in the ADV Films dub of Nerima Daikon Brothers. Mosier made a fast and effective adaptation to the role of the often-tough police detective with a very soft spot for pandas, and she shifted just as rapidly to the guest role at SugoiCon in 2007. Mosier first borrowed a Pandaikon look-alike from a Yukika fan, then appeared at a panel discussion where she spoke about what it's really like to play female roles in anime dubs (and she has a lot of those roles in forthcoming productions). Then she joined a demonstration of stage fighting that saw her spending some time on the floor of a meeting room to demonstrate how to use what looked like pro wrestling holds. Back on her feet, Mosier was part of the all-Houston backing chorus for one of the "Voices for" concerts. Mosier enjoyed the experience so much that she's expected to head to more conventions in the next year as a guest of honor.
