Swing’s Voice Actor Nakai Kazuya

In an interview Nakai explains that he did not try to get into voice acting until the age of 25, when he was a civil servant working at city hall. He says, “When I thought, ‘If I round up, I’m basically 30,’ I realized: No one has told me it’s impossible.”  ( Interview Source )

(This makes Nakai the second of two different Twst VAs who were working as civil servants into their 20s when they decided to change careers and become voice actors instead, including Neige’s VA Nagatsuka Takuma. More here ▶︎)
