Life and career

Active as an actor since 1986, Hildreth has provided voiceovers since the age of 10, when he was cast as the voice of Beany in DiC Entertainment's production of Beany and Cecil. Since then, major roles have included: Caz in The New Adventures of He-Man, Alex Mann in Action Man; Hi-Tech in the direct-to-video CGI animated movies G.I. Joe: Spy Troops and G.I. Joe: Valor vs. Venom; Quicksilver in Wolverine and the X-Men; Terry Bogard in the Fatal Fury series; Oberon in A Midsummer Night's Dream; Harrison in Stargate: Infinity; and Heero Yuy in Gundam Wing.

He provided voices for enemy soldiers for the video game Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots, and for the character DJ Atomika in SSX 3, SSX Blur, SSX (2012 video game), and Burnout Paradise.

Hildreth also appears in stage productions: In 2001, Hildreth played the role of Eugene Marchbanks in the Vancouver Playhouse production of George Bernard Shaw's Candida, for which he received a Jessie Richardson award for best performance by an actor in a leading role.

In 2003, he joined the band Davis Trading as a keyboardist and singer. Hildreth left Davis Trading in 2004 to go solo; he formed his own band with guitarist Jory Neal Groberman and drummer Amrit Basi. He writes and sings all original music. In 2008, he released an album titled "Complex State of Attachment." In December 2012, he released his second album, "Signs of Life".

He appeared in the ABC-TV series V as Joshua, and Cartoon Network's Hot Wheels Battle Force 5 as Vert Wheeler.

Personal life

Hildreth was a member of NXIVM, a now-defunct self-improvement organisation widely described as a cult. Hildreth was in a long-term relationship with actress Kristin Kreuk and reportedly introduced Kreuk to NXIVM, which she joined in 2006. Hildreth left NXIVM and subsequently disavowed the group in 2021, clarifying his participation in its personal development courses and unawareness of its criminal activities, calling them “a horrendous betrayal of trust.” Hildreth’s statement was later confirmed by NXIVM whistleblower Sarah Edmondson in a reply to his X/Twitter post.
