Barbara Goodson is a "lifer" in show biz. Truly in love with all aspects of this wild & crazy craft. Was aware of her mimicry skills early on in life when she imitated family members & caught on to the positive attention it gave her & the pleasure & camaraderie it gave to others. She delights in the task of putting her own stamp on a character whether it be dramatic, musical, comedic &/or in film, cartoons, v/o, nightclubs, stage, TV, etc.
Stuck in a tiny woman's body has always been her challenge since she's always felt much bigger than her under 5' stature & has been recognized for her powerful vocal range playing many nasty yet amusing "bad ladies" on & off screen.
She has no intention of ever retiring...& continues to dream of working with more of the 'heavy weights' & being cast in meaningful, well received & lucrative projects. Believes acting is a blessed career that can move mountains. It's not for sissies & contains a community of (mostly) evolved, concerned humans. She is proud to have had the modicum of success she has achieved & looks forward to more.- Actor

Jeff Corey was a film and television character actor, as well as one of the top acting teachers in America.
Corey was born Arthur Zwerling on August 10, 1914 in New York City, New York, to Mary (Peskin), a Russian Jewish immigrant, and Nathan Zwerling, an Austrian Jewish immigrant. He was an indifferent student, but after taking a drama class in high school, young Corey became hooked. His talent earned him a scholarship to the Feagin School of Dramatic Arts, the top acting school in New York City at the time. Corey then became a professional actor, a career choice which saved him from a life selling sewing machines, he later said.
His first gig after acting school was with a Shakespearean repertory company, after which he became a member of a traveling troupe that entertained children. After Leslie Howard closed his Broadway production of Hamlet in December 1936, he took the play on the road with Corey cast as Rosencrantz in 1937. In 1939, Corey appeared as part of the Federal Theater Project's (FTP) Living Newspaper dramatic showcase in the Life and Death of an American, co-starring with Arthur Kennedy, and featuring the music of Alex North. He made his film debut in a bit part in the Federal Theater's sole movie production, ...One Third of a Nation... (1939). Starring Sylvia Sidney, Leif Erickson and future Oscar-winning director Sidney Lumet, the movie, which was released by Paramount, was a progressive exegesis on the hazards of tenement slum conditions. Congress terminated FTP funding on June 30, 1939, mainly due to objections to the leftist political tones of many FTP productions (see Tim Robbins' movie Cradle Will Rock (1999) about the pressures faced by the FTP in 1939).
In 1940, Corey, who had married his wife Hope in 1938, moved to Hollywood, where he appeared in studio productions through 1943, including The Devil and Daniel Webster (1941), My Friend Flicka (1943) and Joan of Arc (1948). He also had a hand in establishing the Actors Lab, where he appeared in a wide variety of plays, including "Abe Lincoln in Illinois", "Miss Julie" and "Prometheus". He also produced "Juno and the Paycock" for the Lab. He joined the United States Navy Photographic Service in 1943 and was assigned to the aircraft carrier Yorktown as a motion picture combat photographer. He earned three citations while serving during the war, including one for shooting footage on the Yorktown during a kamikaze attack on the ship. The citation, which was awarded in October 1945, read: "His sequence of a Kamikaze attempt on the Carrier Yorktown, done in the face of grave danger, is one of the great picture sequences of the war in the Pacific, and reflects the highest credit upon Corey and the U.S. Navy Photographic Service."
After the war, Corey returned to Hollywood and resumed his acting career, specializing in character parts and playing heavies in films such as The Killers (1946) and Brute Force (1947), both of which starred another returning war vet, Burt Lancaster. His appearance as the psychiatrist in Home of the Brave (1949), one of his best screen performances, promised a long and productive career in Hollywood, but the first phase of his cinema career was cut short in 1951 when he was subpoenaed to appear before the House Committee on Un-American Activities (HUAC) after being named as a former Communist Party member by actor Marc Lawrence.
HUAC had scheduled hearings in Los Angeles as part of its crusade to ferret out Communist influence in Hollywood. Appearing before HUAC in Los Angeles in September 1951, the 37-year-old Corey refused to testify, instead invoking his 5th Amendment rights. The movie industry ruled that anyone invoking their constitutional right not to testify would be blacklisted, and Corey was, missing out on an entire decade of work in films and television during the 1950s. Ironically, Lawrence, whom Corey despised for the rest of his life, pointing out that he had remained stateside on a health deferment while Corey risked his life during the war, was virtually absent from American films and television during the same decade, having to make his living in Italy along with American expatriates who had been blacklisted.
In the book on Hollywood blacklistees "Tender Comrades", Corey explained that he had been a member of the Communist Party, and that while he no longer was in 1951, he could not in good conscience turn informer. "Most of us were retired reds," Corey said. "We had left it, at least I had, years before. The only issue was, did you want to just give them their token names so you could continue your career, or not? I had no impulse to defend a political point of view that no longer interested me particularly. They just wanted two new names so they could hand out more subpoenas."
After being blacklisted, Corey used his G.I. Bill benefits to study speech therapy at UCLA while supporting his family as a common laborer. At the request of a fellow student, Corey organized a class in speech that he taught in the garage of his home in Hollywood Hills home. He expanded his curriculum to acting, accepting $10 a month in "tuition" per month from each student that allowed them to attend weekly classes. Eventually, he expanded the garage to create a small theater where his students performed scenes. Corey's reputation as a teacher grew, and by the mid-1950s, he had become the premier acting coach in Hollywood. Although studios refused to hire the blacklisted Corey as an actor, they did send contract players to study with him.
Corey's class, which became known as the Professional Actors Workshop, attracted directors, screenwriters and established actors seeking insight into the craft. Corey's Workshop has been described by the National Observer as "A major influence in the motion picture industry." Corey was a Stanislavskian teaching the popular Method technique of sense-memory popularized by such other acting gurus as Lee Strasberg and Stella Adler, which sought to tap into the actor's own emotions and psyche. Corey's own teaching technique was eclectic: He focused on one-on-one work with an individual actor, seeking through improvisational exercises to get the actor to tap into his/her subconscious and to use their imagination to come up with a theme that would elucidate their character.
His students included Robert Blake, pop singer Pat Boone, Richard Chamberlain, singer/actress Cher, director-producer Roger Corman, James Dean, Kirk Douglas, Jane Fonda, Peter Fonda, Michael Forest, Sally Kellerman, Irvin Kershner, Shirley Knight, Penny Marshall, Rita Moreno, Jack Nicholson, Leonard Nimoy, Anthony Perkins, Rob Reiner, singer/actress/director Barbra Streisand, future Academy Award-winning screenwriter Robert Towne and Robin Williams. Of Corey the teacher, three-time Oscar-winner Jack Nicholson said after he had become a major movie star, "Acting is life study, and Corey's classes got me into looking at life as an artist."
Corey also tutored experienced actors who had trouble with a role, or who just needed insight into playing a character. One of the already-established actors Corey tutored was three-time Oscar nominee Kirk Douglas, who came to Corey for help in playing the title role in Spartacus (1960). It was Douglas who, along with Otto Preminger, ended the blacklist by hiring Dalton Trumbo to write the screenplays for Spartacus (1960) and Exodus (1960), respectively. Two years after the Trumbo-penned films debuted on the big screen, Corey again was working in films and television. In 1962, he was cast in the film The Yellow Canary (1963) when one of his acting students, pop singer Pat Boone, pressured 20th-Century Fox into hiring him. Now off the blacklist, Corey became a busy character actor in movies and on television. Corey made his reputation as an actor's actor whom other actors loved to work with. Always good with actors, Corey also directed some episodes of television series.
In addition to his acting work, Corey continued teaching. He was Professor of Theater Arts at California State University in Northridge, and was artist in residence at Ball State, in Indiana, the University of Illinois in Bloomington, Chapman College's World Campus Afloat, the University of Texas in Austin, and at the Graduate School of Creative Writing at New York University. He also conducted acting seminars at Emory University in Atlanta, and for the Canadian Film Institute in Vancouver, British Columbia.
On August 16, 2002, six days after his 88th birthday, Corey died in a Santa Monica, California hospital, of complication from a fall. He was survived by his wife of 64 years, Hope, three daughters, and grandchildren.- Actor

Six-foot-three and weighing in at a lean, mean 215, Michael Forest was a rugged-looking addition to the Roger Corman and Gene Corman's list of leading men during their 1950s heyday. Between Corman films, he was a stage actor who worked in Shakespearean plays and other legitimate productions as classy as his real name (Gerald Michael Charlebois). Born in Harvey, North Dakota, he moved with his family at a very early age to Seattle, attended the University of Washington for a year and then made his way south to the sunnier campuses of San Jose State. Graduating with a B.A. in English and drama, Forest came to Hollywood in 1955 and started acting on TV and on stage at the Players Ring. In 1957, he began to study with veteran actor/acting teacher Jeff Corey, in whose classes Forest first encountered Roger Corman. Forest has also worked extensively on TV and European films.- Actor

For Susan Roman, being part of the wacky, wonderful world of animation for most of her adult life has been a dream come true. Let's be frank: some of her earlier efforts didn't exactly light up the galaxy. (We're looking at you, Piggsburg Pigs...) But along the way, she worked on projects that have since become mainstream classics, voicing characters such as Champ Bear in the original Care Bears series, Melissa Raccoon in The Raccoons, Sara Lynn and Eddie in Fisher-Price Little People, Cucumber in The Busy World of Richard Scarry, the Berry Princess in Strawberry Shortcake Meets the Berrykins, and James in Thomas and the Magic Railroad. She also voiced Mega Man in Nintendo's Mega Man Legends 2, Judy Tate in Beyblade, Akira in Bakugan, Tika in Barbie as the Island Princess, and as Snowy, the little white dog, she barked her way through a television series that has become a perennial fan favorite: The Adventures of TinTin.
In what turned out to be a huge departure from children's animation, she was cast as Angel, the speaking voice of Debbie Harry, in the ground-breaking major motion picture Rock & Rule, and in yet another cult classic, Columbia Picture's Heavy Metal, she played The Girl in the Harry Canyon Sequence.
Susan is probably best known as the voice of Sailor Jupiter in the original English dub of Sailor Moon- Writer

BIOGRAPHY
Stephanie Morgenstern's award-winning career spans many disciplines: beginning as an actor, she branched out into filmmaking, screenwriting, directing and showrunning. She was designated National Indie Treasure by Toronto's Eye Magazine, profiled in Montreal's Voir Magazine as a New Face to Watch, and selected as one of three 'Great Expectations' filmmakers at the Telluride International Film Festival in Colorado.
TELEVISION. Most recently, Morgenstern was Executive Producer on Season 2 of NBC/CTV's medical drama 'Transplant,' developing the season and character arcs with the writing room and writing the Season 2 Premiere episode with Mark Ellis. She has been working as a freelance television director for the last few years on hour-long drama such as 'Nurses,' (NBC/Global), 'Burden of Truth,' (CBC/CW), 'Killjoys' (Space Channel/Syfy), and 'Hudson & Rex' (CityTV).
Morgenstern was Co-Creator, Writer, Executive Producer and Showrunner, alongside Mark Ellis, of CBC's WWII espionage drama 'X Company.' It received a Canadian Screen Award nomination for Best Television Drama in its premiere year and, in the fall of 2017, wrapped its third and final season in Budapest. Morgenstern directed the two-part series finale. Prior to that, Ellis & Morgenstern were Co-creators, Writers, and Executive Producers on 'Flashpoint' (CBS/CTV/Ion), for which they were designated Showrunners of the Year by the Writers' Guild of Canada. They co-wrote twenty of the show's 75 episodes, earning both a Gemini and WGC Award for Best Writing in a Television Drama. The show received the Academy Board of Directors Tribute for Outstanding and Enduring Contribution to Canadian Television in 2013, the 2009 Gemini and 2013 Canadian Screen Awards for Best Dramatic Series, and the Innovative Producers Award at the Banff World Media Festival. The Academy also designated Flashpoint #2 out of the Top 25 Canadian television shows of all time, second only to Degrassi.
FILMMAKING. Morgenstern directed the critically acclaimed 'Remembrance,' a short WW2 drama which she co-wrote and co-starred in with Mark Ellis. It earned a Genie Award nomination for Best Short Live Action Film, won Best Canadian Short at the Worldwide Short Film Festival, and the Jutra Award for Best Short. It was also a Jury Award winner and quintuple nominee (including Best Direction and Best Drama) at Yorktown's Golden Sheaf Awards. 'Remembrance' premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival, won Certificates of Merit from both the San Francisco and Chicago International Film Festivals, and screened in the prestigious Filmmakers of Tomorrow section at Telluride. She and Ellis won TIFF's national Pitch This! Competition in 2005: the cash prize funded the development of 'Remembrance into longer dramatic form, which later became 'X Company.'
Morgenstern's first short was the bilingual Curtains/Rideau, co-directed with her brother Mark Morgenstern. Like 'Remembrance,' it was a Genie nominee for Best Short as well as a quintuple Golden Sheaf nominee. It earned her the award for Best Script at Yorkton, where she and her brother Mark also jointly won for Best Direction. Curtains/Rideau toured English and French language festivals extensively, and won the Palme D'Or at the Festival mondial du cinema de court metrage in Huy, Belgium.
ACTING. Fluent in English and French, Morgenstern was an actor for over 20 years. Her work spanned film ('Maelstrom,' Denis Villeneuve; 'The Sweet Hereafter,' Atom Egoyan; 'Revoir Julie,' Jeanne Crepeau), TV ('This is Wonderland,' 'At the Hotel,' CBC), and theatre across Canada ('A Midsummer Night's Dream,' Stratford Festival; 'Romeo and Juliet,' Globe Theatre; 'Goodnight Desdemona, Good Morning Juliet,' Grand Theatre). She also provided the original English dub voice for Sailor Venus in the cult anime series 'Sailor Moon.'
EDUCATION. Stephanie was raised in Montreal where she began her career as a professional actor at the age of 15. She got her BA in English from McGill University, and studied drama at the Banff Centre School of Fine Arts.

Rob Tinkler is an actor, screenwriter, director and voice actor based in Toronto and LA. Rob was born in Winnipeg Manitoba, but moved to the Toronto, Ontario area while in grade school. In his late teens he became involved in community theatre, performing in plays and musicals and was subsequently accepted into the Theatre program at Ryerson University (later acquiring his BFA). At Ryerson he met future sketch comedy collaborators Mike Beaver, Jason Jones, and Stacey Depass. His first gig out of school was a series on YTV called "It's Alive". The show was of the sketch comedy variety, and while acting on the series Rob was introduced to and became interested in writing. After the show's cancellation, and growing frustrated with a dwindling influx of acting work at that time, Rob and his then roommates Mike Beaver and Shaun Majumder decided to form the comedy troupe "Beaver, Tinkler, Majumder". This triumvirate soon welcomed Jason Jones, and then Stacey Depass and Jenn Baxter (who were also on "It's Alive") and the troupe was renamed "The Bobroom". Also during this period, Rob realized an affinity for voice-overs and he booked several animated series including "Sam & Max Freelance Police", "X-Men" and "Sailor Moon". After writing, mounting and performing in many live sketch shows with The Bobroom at clubs across Toronto and excursions into Chicago and New York City, the troupe was soon approached by Milan Curry-Sharples about doing the comedy showcase series "Comedy Now". Although this show was more of a vehicle for stand-up comedians, this endeavor ultimately led to the development and creation of the sketch comedy series "The Bobroom" for the Comedy Network. Although the series ran only for a limited time, it was a learning ground for Rob as he not only amassed characters, but honed skills in writing for the screen. Also around this time, Rob landed several roles on feature film productions, including "The Tuxedo" and the cult classic "Harold And Kumar Go To White Castle". After embarking on a couple of pilot seasons in Los Angeles, Rob received the accreditation to relocate to the US on a full time basis. There, he has written for several animated series ("Wayside", "Pandalian" "Almost Naked Animals") and did voices on video games ("Superman Returns", "Marvel: Ultimate Alliance 2"), and several pilots and series ("Celebrity Deathmatch"), including the Fox prime time animated series "American Dad". He's also performed in countless commercials and even landed a recurring role as Rachael Harris' whipping boy in ABC's "Notes From The Underbelly". Rob plays too many characters to name on PBS's "The Cat In The Hat Knows A Lot About That", as well as voices leading danger dog Howie in Cartoon Network's "Almost Naked Animals" and Gingka in "Beyblade Metal Fusion". Rob divides his time between LA and Toronto as he continues to develop series and films. In addition to acting, writing, and directing, he is also a Creative Consultant on "Almost Naked Animals".- Actress

Alvin Sanders was born March 16, 1952, in Oakland, California. He was a performer from an early age (church choirs, talent shows, school plays) and in 1968 became a devotee of The Seattle Repertory Theater. "Devotee" was a fancy name the Seattle Rep (and the Actors' Equity Association) created for unpaid actors. They worked out a deal with the public school system that allowed students to perform in their shows in return for high school credits. For every 200 hours the student was involved in rehearsal and performance at the theater, he received 1/2 a credit toward graduation. The student also got a chance to work with professionals, to see and discuss with them the theater lifestyle.
Alvin earned 1-1/2 credits over two years performing with the Seattle Rep. In 1969 (while still in high school and working at the Rep) he was a founding member of Black Arts/West Theater. By 1973 this theater (it disbanded in 1980) had become one of the largest black theaters in the US, second only to The Negro Ensemble Company in New York. The Black Arts/West company performed year-round in their theater, as well as touring all over the Northwest (Washington, Oregon, Idaho). Alvin was involved in all aspects of the theater--directing, designing, administration. But his number-one job was acting. In 1970 he left Seattle to go to Carnegie-Mellon University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, the longest-running collegiate, professional actor training program in North America. He left Carnegie to work the 1972-73 season of Chicago's Free Street Theater, but returned to graduate in 1975 with a BFA (drama/acting).
Alvin did his first SAG gig in 1973 (Cinderella Liberty (1973)) and joined Actor's Equity in 1975 with a gig at Actor's Theater of Louisville (he played Petruchio in a school tour of "Taming of the Shrew"). In the summer of 1984 he went to Barkerville, British Columbia, Canada to portray Wellingon Delaney Moses (a black barber in 1860s Barkerville) in a musical at The Theatre Royale. He also fell in love, and his entire life changed. In the fall of 1984 Alvin married the stage manager of the show in Barkerville and moved to Vancouver.
Alvin is now a dual U.S./Canadian citizen and since arriving in Vancouver has done several Vancouver theater-award-winning roles, lots of TV and film, an abundance of animation voice work, and many Canadian and US national commercials.- Elan Ross Gibson received the first B.F.A. in Acting ever awarded in a Canadian University from the University of Alberta in 1966. She has been acting in Europe and Canada on stage, television and radio ever since. Gibson was a founding member of North West Media Network.

Cathy Weseluck is a Canadian actress and comedian of Russian descent. She has worked frequently as a voice actress for Ocean Productions, a Canadian media production and voice acting company based in Vancouver, British Columbia. Weseluck has provided voice acting for both original animated series and for English adaptations of animated works from several countries. In addition, Weseluck has worked as a voice director and instructor, a singing director, and a casting coordinator.
Early in her career, Weseluck worked as an associate producer at CBC Radio, the English-language radio operations of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. A co-worker encouraged her to attempt to work in voice acting. She initially voiced advertisements for the Vancouver Centre Mall, before starting to work in animation.
In "Mobile Suit Gundam" (1979-1980), Weseluck voiced the regular character Mirai Yashima. Mirai was a member of an upper-class family and the helmsman of the mobile suit carrier White Base. In the same series, Weseluck voiced the young orphan Katz Kobayashi, who joined the crew of the White Base.
In "Maison Ikkoku" (1986-1988), Weseluck voiced Koizumi, a female member of the Puppet Club. She and her teammates were puppeteers and friends of the male protagonist, Yusaku Godai. In the anime OVA "Project A-ko 2: Plot of the Daitokuji Financial Group" (1987), Weseluck voiced Shiko "C-ko" Kotobuki. The character was a humanoid alien from the Alpha Cygnan race. Her female friends Eiko "A-ko" Magami and Biko "B-ko" Daitokuji had an intense rivalry over who gets to spend time with C-Ko. Weseluck also voiced C-Ko in the sequels "Project A-ko 3: Cinderella Rhapsody" (1988) and "Project A-ko 4: FINAL" (1989).
In the English adaptation of "Ranma ½" (1989-1992), Weseluck primarily voiced Shampoo. Her character was a Chinese Amazon and one of the four fiancees of Ranma Saotome. She was betrothed to Ranma by the ritual laws of her village after he twice managed to defeat her in combat. Shampoo could shape-shift into a cat, which further complicated her relationship with Ranma. Ranma suffered from ailurophobia, a persistent fear of cats. Weseluck also voiced the recurring antagonist Azusa Shiratori, a martial artist and ice skater with kleptomaniac tendencies. Azusa was one of Ranma's opponents. In addition to these two major characters, Weseluck voiced the minor recurring character of Yuka. Yuka was a classmate of the regular character Akane Tendo and apparently one of Akane's closest friends.
In the Ocean Group dub of "Dragon Ball Z" (1989-1996), Weseluck voiced the child version of Trunks. The character was a human-alien hybrid, son of the reformed alien villain Prince Vegeta and the human scientist Bulma. She also voiced Maron, the beautiful but air-headed and fickle girlfriend of Krillin.
In a 1991 episode of "The New Adventures of He-Man", Weseluck voiced Teela. The character was a friend of He-Man from his original time period, though this series was instead set in the distant future. Teela was briefly sent into the future by the Sorceress of Grayskull, in order to cure He-Man's homesickness. Teela was one of the few Eternian characters to appear in this series, though Weseluck's version of the character had been redesigned to resemble She-Ra.
In the television series "Double Dragon" (1993-1994), Weseluck voiced the police officer Marian Martin, a major supporting character during the series' first season. The series was based on the then-popular video game series "Double Dragon" (1987-), where Marian was the main love interest for the twin brothers William "Billy" Lee and James "Jimmy" Lee.
In "Mobile Suit Gundam Wing" (1995-1996), Weseluck voiced the recurring character of Dorothy Catalonia. The character was introduced as a spy for the Romefeller Foundation, though she was eventually established to have her own agenda. Dorothy was trying to ensure an end to the current wars through arranging that the combatants were too traumatized to continue fighting. In the same series, Weseluck voiced the circus knife-thrower Catherine Bloom. Catherine was the estranged sister of the mobile suit pilot Trowa Barton.
In the short-lived series "Cybersix" (1999), Weseluck voiced the protagonist Cybersix. The character was a leather-clad gynoid (female android) who was trying to thwart the plans of the mad scientist who had created her. Cybersix maintained the regular job of a high school literature teacher, cross-dressing as a male to maintain a secret identity. The series was based on the Italian and Argentinian comic book series "Cybersix" (1991-1999) by Carlos Trillo and Carlos Meglia.
In "Inuyasha" (2000-2004), Weseluck voiced Mrs. Higurashi, the widowed mother of co-protagonist Kagome Higurashi. The character was aware that the daughter was regularly time-traveling to the feudal era, and her main concern was to provide her with food supplies. When the half-demon Inuyasha (Kagome's companion) time traveled into the future, Mrs. Hiugurashi provided him with a place to stay.
In the Generation 3 "My Little Pony" direct-to-video films, Weseluck voiced the young unicorn Rarity. Rarity was the main character in the animated film "My Little Pony Crystal Princess: The Runaway Rainbow" (2006), where she accidentally teleported herself to a distant location. Her efforts to return home were part of the film's main plot. Weseluck voiced the young detective Near in "Death Note" (2006-2007). Near headed an organization searching for the serial killer Kira/Light Yagami, following the murder of the leading detective L. He served as the main antagonist to the series' villain protagonist. By the end of the series, Near became the new L.
In the magical girl series "Powerpuff Girls Z" (2006-2007), Weseluck voiced the supporting character of Ken Kitazawa. He was the child genius son of Professor Utonium. Ken set the series' events in motion, by accidentally granting superhuman powers to three teenage girls: Hyper Blossom/Momoko Akatsutsumi, Rolling Bubbles/Miyako Gotokuji, and Powered Buttercup/Kaoru Matsubara. Ken helped the girl start their careers as superheroines, while treating them as his surrogate sisters. The series was based on the animated series "The Powerpuff Girls" (1998-2005), but reinterpreted the personalities of the three main characters and removed their status as siblings to each other.
In "Storm Hawks" (2007-2009), Weseluck voiced the recurring villain Ravess. The character was nominally loyal to Master Cyclonis, the female sovereign of the Cyclonian Empire. But Ravess privately considered Cyclonis to be incompetent and unworthy of the throne. Ravess typically ignored orders by her own superiors, preferring instead to execute her own plans. She was eventually exiled after a failed term as a regent for the absent Cyclonis.
In "Mobile Suit Gundam 00" (2007-2009), Weseluck voiced the colonel Kati Mannequin, a member of the military forces of the Advanced European Union. Kati represented a faction who had managed to unify the European continent. She served the role of the tactical coordinator and commander in the army. Her love interest was the mobile suit pilot Patrick Colasour, who she eventually married. Patrick was slavishly loyal to her, following Kati whenever she changed her allegiance.
In a 2009 episode of "Iron Man: Armored Adventures", Weseluck voiced an animated version of Abigail Brand. The character was depicted as a SHIELD agent, held hostage by the supervillain Living Laser. The comic book version of Abigail is a human-alien hybrid with pyrokinetic powers, but the animated version was a seemingly normal human.
In "My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic" (2010-2019), Weseluck primarily voiced the supporting character Spike the Dragon. The character was a tiny purple dragon who served as the loyal assistant to the unicorn and magic user Twilight Sparkle. According to his origin episode, a filly Twilight had used magic to hatch his egg. He had stayed by her side ever since, and he had not socialized with other dragons until his pre-teen years. Subplots involving Spike included his cultural differences from other dragons, his efforts to control his dragon-like greed, his romantic attraction to the adult unicorn Rarity, the mutual efforts of Spike and Rarity to shield each other from danger, and his growing friendship with the female dragons Ember (the reigning Dragon Lord) and Smolder.
In the same series, Weseluck voiced two other recurring characters. She voiced Mayor Mare, the female mayor of Ponyville. The character mainly served as the local authority figure. The only major information on her background was that she dyed her mane gray, while her natural hair color was pink. She was embarrassed when her secret was published in a gossip column. The other recurring character voiced by Weseluck was the hard-working dressmaker Coco Pommel. The character was initially introduced as the soft-spoken assistant to the domineering fashion designer Suri Polomare. She soon befriended rival designer Rarity (who was friendlier to her than Suri), and at a later point was employed as a salesperson by Rarity.
In the animated film "Thor: Tales of Asgard" (2011), Weseluck voiced Valkyrie/Brunnhilde. The character was based on a popular comic book character, an Asgardian warrior woman who has served as a member of both the Defenders and the Avengers. The Marvel character was in turn based on Brunhild, a shield-maiden or Valkyrie prominently depicted in Germanic heroic legend. The original character played a central role in both the "Nibelungenlied" (written c. 1200) and the "Volsunga saga" (late 13th century).

They have one child.- David Kaye's voiceover career began with 'The Great American Hero', General Hawk in the D.I.C. animated series, G.I. Joe in 1989. Working as an on-air talent for radio station C.K.L.G. (L.G.73) quickly became less interesting as both on-camera and behind-the-microphone roles started taking up more time. Over the next decade and a half David's on camera roles burgeoned along with his vocal career. On camera opportunities came in the form of guest roles on numerous TV series and movies such as The X-Files, Battlestar Galactica and Happy Gilmore.
During this time David was being cast in some of the first of hundreds of animated shows and video games. So many, in fact, this now became the main focus of his career and he's never looked back.
David's biggest moment was when he was cast as Megatron in 1994 in the popular series 'Transformers'. As a new animation art form was taking off (bolstered by Mainframe Entertainment's C.G.I. advances), 'Beast Wars' was born ('Beasties' in Canada) and would run for three seasons of "...the most fun you could ever have!". Thus began an almost twenty-year relationship with the 'Transformers' franchise. In 2007, David became the only actor in the history of the franchise to play the lead villain AND the lead hero when he was cast as Optimus Prime for Cartoon Network's 'Transformers: Animated'.
Once again, David finds himself returning to a franchise he first engaged in years before. This time going back to the beginning with G.I. Joe. Not only can he be heard as Scarlett's father, but also introducing every episode as the narrator during the opening titles.
For fans of Anime, David was the voice behind Sesshomaru in the English dub of the original 'InuYasha' series, Treize Khushrenada in 'Mobile Suit Gundam Wing', Recoome in the original English dub of 'Dragon Ball Z', and as the high strung father, Soun Tendo in 'Ranma 1/2'. His anime work still brings fans to conventions to meet him.
After commuting between Vancouver and Los Angeles for almost a decade, a full-time move to L.A. was inevitable. Shortly after the move, David landed a role in Disney/Pixar's Oscar winning movie, 'Up'.
As the work keeps coming in, David's voice can be heard in Insomniac's 'Ratchet & Clank' video game series as the lovable robot Clank. He's also been featured as Mysterio in 'Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions', 'Disney Infinity: Marvel Super Heroes' and 'Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3: The Black Order', Nick Fury and Captain America in 'Marvel: Ultimate Alliance 2', Nathan Hale in 'Resistance', Logan Carter in 'Dead Island', Missing Link in 'Monsters vs. Aliens', and many more.
He has continued to work in cartoons, voicing Khyber in 'Ben 10: Omniverse' and Baby Reginald on 'Regular Show', as well as J.A.R.V.I.S., Vision and Baron Zemo on 'Avengers Assemble', Vandal Savage on 'Young Justice', Duckworth on 'DuckTales', and Grandpa Max in the reboot of 'Ben 10'. David also voices segments for the HBO news-satire program 'Last Week Tonight with John Oliver'.
With continuing commitments for movie trailers, network promotions for ABC, Fox, the CW, and a host of radio and television affiliates and a lot of commercial work, the days get a little tight from time to time, but he doesn't mind. - Actor

Sheridan voiced the young female warrior Brynne in "Conan and the Young Warriors" (1994), an animated spin-off of Conan the Barbarian. In the series, Conan acted as the mentor to three rookie warriors with magical abilities. Brynne the archer was a former thief from Shadizar, and had the ability to cast illusions.

Sheridan voiced the protagonist Hitomi Kanzaki in the Bandai dub of the fantasy series "The Vision of Escaflowne" (1996).

She is mysteriously teleported to the extra-dimensional planet of Gaea, and gets involved in local conflicts. Having saved the life of the young king Van Fanel in their first meeting, she soon becomes his trusted companion and his love interest.
Sheridan voiced an alternate version of Hitomi Kanzaki in the animated film "Escaflowne" (2000), which did not resemble the original series. This version of Hitomi was initially a depressed and suicidal girl, with no genuine powers. When she is transported to Gaea and identified as the goddess depicted in a prophesy, she struggles to rebuild her confidence. She gets paired with a more violent and ruthless version of Van, as the film featured a much darker world than its predecessor.
Sheridan voiced Nikki in "Cardcaptors" (2000-2001). The series was n English-language adaptation of the anime series "Cardcaptor Sakura" (1998-2000), but changed the names and personalities of most of the characters. Nikki was the counterpart of Naoko Yanagisawa from the original series. Naoko was depicted as a bespectacled cheerleader, and as a close friend of the protagonist Sakura Avalon/Sakura Kinomoto. Naoko had a fascination with ghost stories and scary situations, which became plot relevant when her imagination unwittingly empowered the creations of a magical card.
Sheridan voiced the Scarlet Witch/Wanda Maximoff in "X-Men: Evolution" (2000-2003). This version of the character was a young villain, rather than Marvel's famous superheroine. She had been locked up in an asylum by her father Magneto, and had much anger and resentment for the world surrounding her. Wanda was depicted as mentally unstable, though her hatred was primarily targeted at her father. Fellow villain Toad had an unrequited love for Wanda, a subplot directly inspired by Toad's infatuation with Wanda in the comics.
Sheridan voiced the demon slayer Sango in the Viz Media dub of "Inuyasha" (2000-2004), with her character being among the main cast of the series. Sango was the only female adolescent slayer from a village which had mastered the skill of demon slaying, and was the daughter of the village's leader. She used a giant boomerang as her primary weapon, a weapon constructed from demon bones. Sango was typically depicted as devoted to her job, and determined to eliminate her dangerous opponents. Having lost family members and allies in combat, Sango treated her few friends as her surrogate family. She had a sister-like relationship with the time-traveling adventurer Kagome Higurashi, and often treated Kagome's injuries. Sango also had a troubled romantic relationship with the lecherous Miroku, a Buddhist wandering monk and exorcist. They were each other's first love, but had problems in expressing their emotions.
Sheridan voiced the cafe owner Cotton Candy in the Generation 3 version of "My Little Pony", which primarily consisted of direct-to video- films. Cotton Candy was also originally depicted as her town's storyteller, but this premise was soon forgotten. Sheridan started voicing the character in 2003, and had appearances in films such as "A Charming Birthday" and "Friends Are Never Far Away". Generation 3 focused primarily on interpersonal relationships, rather than on fantasy adventures. In 2008, Sheridan started voicing the co-protagonist Cheerilee in a revamped version of Generation 3. This character was her group's wise storyteller. Cheerilee was the older sister of Scootaloo, and the two sisters were depicted as often arguing with each other.
Sheridan voiced Diana Lombard in "Martin Mystery" (2003-2006), an adaptation of the Italian comic book series "Martin Mystère" by Alfredo Castelli. Diana was depicted as the overachieving stepsister of the protagonist, and a fellow agent of the secret organization "The Center". Diana was depicted as a rational intellectual in contrast to her impulsive stepbrother, and typically tried to find rational explanations for paranormal mysteries. She had a love-hate relationship with Martin, as they acted as both rivals and allies to each other. Their relationship was different that their comic-book counterparts, who were a married couple rather than step-siblings.
Sheridan voiced the recurring character Mammoth Mutt in "Krypto the Superdog" (2005-2006), depicted as a female chihuahua with size-changing abilities. Mammoth was a member of Dog Star Patrol (DSP). She was based on a comic book character called "Mammoth Miss" who had appeared in Superboy comic books. Sheridan also voiced the reporter Lois Lane in her few appearances in this series.
Sheridan voiced Princess Morbucks/Himeko Shirogane in the English dub of "Powerpuff Girls Z" (2006-2007). Himeko was depicted as a wealthy classmate of the protagonists, and typically acted as their frenemy. She was neglected by her parents, and aimed to become the center of attention at school. But she had a secondary personality which was genuinely evil and had energy-based powers. The character was based on a major villain from the original series "The Powerpuff Girls" (1998-2005), the only female villain that had the same age as the protagonist trio. The original Princess Morbucks was in turn a parody of the character Annie Warbucks from the comic strip "Little Orphan Annie" (1924-2010).
In "Mobile Suit Gundam 00" (2007-2009), Sheridan voiced Louise Halevy. Louise started out as a normal girl, but witnessed the deaths of her entire family in a wedding massacre. She also lost her left hand in the same attack. After receiving an artificial limb, Louise started working as a soldier. She was primarily motivated by revenge against those she considered responsible for the attack. She incorrectly thought that her ex-boyfriend Saji Crossroad was involved in the massacre that had changed her life.
Sheridan voiced an older version of Sango in the sequel series "Inuyasha: The Final Act" (2009-2010). The series adapted the last 21 volumes of the "Inuyasha" manga series by Rumiko Takahashi, which had been omitted by the previous adaptation. The first episode had Sango reuniting with her resurrected younger brother, Kohaku. By the end of the series, Sango had married Miroku and had retired from adventuring . She was trying to raise her twin daughters and her newborn son.

She committed suicide after the violent deaths of both her husband and her secret lover, having already denounced her son as a "monster"
Sheridan voiced the Eternal heroine Sersi in the miniseries "Marvel Knights: Eternals" (2014). The character is an immortal with the ability to rearrange the molecular structure of matter, including that of living organisms. She is based on the mythological witch Circe from the "Odyssey", and has served as a member of the Avengers. She has also served as a love interest to her teammate Black Knight/Dane Whitman, though their relationship is undermined by periods of mental instability experienced by both characters.
Sheridan voiced the recurring villain Praxina in the English version of the magical girl series "LoliRock" (2014-2017). In the series, the evil wizard Lord Gramorr had usurped control of the world of Ephedia, but was magically bound to its central castle and was unable to leave it. He send the adolescent twins Praxina and Mephisto to planet Earth in order for them to deal with escaped nobility from their world, and to complete other magical tasks. The evil magical girl Praxina typically had the lion share's of the screen time among the villains, and had closer personal interactions with the series' heroines. At the end of the second season, Praxina starts wearing the mask of the recently deceased Gramorr, and starts being motivated by a need for revenge. She was intended to serve as the main villain of the third season, but that season was never produced.
Among Sheridan's best known television roles was the magic user Starlight Glimmer in the fantasy series "My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic" (2010-2019). She portrayed the character from 2015 to 2019. Originally introduced as the primary villain of the series' 5th season and as a new rival to protagonist Twilight Sparkle, Starlight later became a hero in her own right. She became Twilight's primary student/apprentice and housemate. Starlight was depicted as one of the most skilled magic users in the land of Equestria, but she had a tendency to act on impulse and did not fully understand the consequences of her own actions. She was shocked to learn that one of her time-travel schemes would have resulted in the creation of post-apocalyptic versions of reality, and afterwards struggled with self-doubt.
Sheridan voiced Indigo Zap in the animated film "My Little Pony: Equestria Girls - Friendship Games" (2015). The character was a member of the Crystal Prep Academy Shadowbolts, a rival team to the protagonists in a competition involving both academic and athletic abilities. Indigo had a passion for winning, but was overly aggressive towards her rivals. She was frustrated with the timidity of her teammate Twilight Sparkle, but jumped to Twilight's defense when she saw her being intimidated by Sunset Shimmer (a member of the rival team). The character was reportedly based on the antagonist Lightning Dust from "My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic", but lacked Lightning's distinctive recklessness.
Sheridan voiced Jochebed in a 2019 episode of the biblical-themed series "Superbook". Jochebed is typically portrayed as the biological mother of Moses, who was adopted and raised by a Pharaoh's daughter. She was also the mother of the high priest Aaron and the prophetess Miriam. Jochebed was typically portrayed as a distant ancestor of the Aaronite priests (Kohanim) depicted in ancient Jewish writings.
In the early 2020s, Sheridan had few new roles. She has not yet retired from acting, though whether she will return to the spotlight remains to be seen. She has gained a fan following due to her association with several popular animated series, and her memorable portrayal of some key characters.- Mike Coleman is known for Fatal Exam (1990) and Fatal Examination (2021).
