Didn't find out until today. Kirsten Bishop, the one who voiced the DiC dub Zoisite, died a few months ago. Wow. She also voiced quite a few other villains on Sailor Moon, like Emerald, Kaori Knight, and Telulu. It's a damn shame, because she had a lot of talent and she was able to make Zoisite believable as a female. With the obvious censorship rules going on, she did make Zoisite her own back in the 90's. Kirsten Bishop will be missed. She made a flat-chested, androgynous woman look both professional and hot.

Mind you, I do prefer male Zoisite, but still, I did like Kirsten's acting. If you can convince boys who are watching an anime as a guilty pleasure that an originally male character is female, then you got a lot of talent.

I prefer Zoi as a male too (although I will NEVER defend the character itself unless it's the live action or manga/Crystal counterpart) but there is no denying how iconic and talented Kirsten was, even though the evil laugh she did was most annoying..still sad that she was stricken with cancer and lost her battle with it..also would like to point out that Zoi was also made female in some of the foreign dubs (Mexican, German, Swedish, Italian, Portuguese) so why DIC is the only one being knocked for that is beyond me..
