Before that he pierced ears, sold advertising space and packaged up newspapers. There was also a short period as a champion long jumper. With VO training, he became fascinated with being able to produce so many different and complex emotions with his voice, claiming that up until that point he’d just used it to make stupid noises. He loves music, comedy and knows quite a lot about 80s and 90s wrestling.

Watch ’em through the glass first. If they ask for me but don’t say my name right—Ellyn, not Ellen or Ellie—don’t trust a word out their mouth.
