My Voice Experience

In the late-eighties, I was hired to be the brand voice of Union 76, right after they retired the character of Murph, their longtime spokesman. I stopped telling people about the new gig because they kept saying, "You killed Murph." They didn't want to hear about my success, they wanted Murph back.

Also from my voiceover/radio past...

Sting once corrected my grammar.
Mike Tyson once called me a nazi.
Dave Chappelle kept using the f-word in a session rendering nearly everything unusable.
And Roy of Siegfried & Roy once kissed me after we wrapped a session.

American Conservatory Theatre - student
Professional actor, 1980-88, most notably with the Oregon Shakespeare Festival in Ashland
