A Screen Actors Guild database listing also reveals that another dub of Crying Freeman was produced in the United States by Pretend Productions, possibly an alternate dub of episode 6, indicating that Orion likely had plans to dub the series to completion after taking over Streamline's catalog.
In the Manga dub of Episode 1, when Nitta says "The gangster’s expected to come after you, so they’ll be waiting for an opportunity to kill him." the last part ("kill him") sounds to have been spliced in using a different voice actor (likely Peter Marinker).Graydon Gould is also credited under his real name in Episode 3, while being credited as "Graham Parker" in Episode 5. Shelley Thompson is credited both as "Katherine Pierce" in Episode 2 and as "Sara Murphy" in Episode 5.

After each killing, he sheds a tear for his victim, and becomes known as Crying Freeman. Likewise, Jay Benedict is credited as "James Hathaway" and Pamela Merrick as "Pamela West". Crying Freeman An ordinary man is kidnapped and trained against his will to be the world's best assassin, Freeman. Peter Marinker is credited under the alias "Peter Wiseman" in the Manga UK Dub.
Rather than redub the series with their own cast, Steve Bulen and Edie Mirman were flown out to Houston to reprise their roles, while the rest of the cast (fortunately, none of which appeared in prior episodes) were voiced by ADV's regular talent pool. While ADV picked up and later redubbed many titles originally dubbed by Streamline, ADV went another route. However, due to Streamline's problems with its distribution company, Orion Pictures, the sixth episode was not initially covered until the rights were picked up by ADV Films in 2003. In the United States, Streamline Pictures acquired the rights to the series, dubbing the first 5 episodes and releasing them on VHS in 1995. Prior to the better known American made dub of the series, Manga UK acquired the series and provided their own dub, covering all 6 episodes on 5 VHS tapes released from 1993-1995.
