Monk Schane-Lydon

Southern truck mechanic, Texan chicken rancher, South Boston fisherman, Brit thug, Superhero, goofball, slimeball and that guy with male answer syndrome.

For broadcast I've been a reporter, as well as both an on-air and on-camera personality. My clients include Smith and Wesson, Animal Planet, Volvo of North America, and Grundfos to name a few. Plus many banks, ski areas and countless others that needed a real guy. When I jumped into the animation world, I've so far been Santa and a reindeer, a toy soldier, an ol cowpoke, a Seahawk pilot, sub commander and the voice of the Borg for Star Trek:The Experience.

I can't sit still. I need to be creating something, whether its building Manhattan for the Radio City Christmas 3D Spectacular or a commercial for some of the finest coffee on the planet, it's all about the performance. Bringing someone into the moment, carrying them along, and bringing them back when done. Dim the lights, fade the music and strike the arc so the image hits the parting curtain. It's showtime.
