Andrew J. Alandy is an actor, competitive gamer, voice actor, and all-around goofball hailing from Los Angeles, CA. 

A graduate of the American Academy of Dramatic Arts (2008), Andrew found a way to blend his love of anime and related cultures with the performing talents and skills, finding his way to host numerous events such as Anime Expo and Anime Los Angeles. His background includes stunt credits on the History Channel shows “Warriors: Islands of Blood”, “Battles B.C.”, and “Sun Tzu: The Art of War”. Recently, his ambitions have led him into the world of voice acting as Dante Mendoza in “Vampire: The Masquerade – Port Saga” and Dr. Izu Chavez in the new TTRPG “Dreams and Machines”.  

Additionally, Andrew serves as the lead commentator for The Jazzy Circuit, North America’s premier Street Fighter 3: Third Strike tournament series, and when he isn’t commentating, he is usually competing under the moniker “Duralath”.

This year, Andrew is extremely excited to return to Holiday Matsuri and do what he loves best: getting the crowds hyped for the events ahead!
