Career
He has lived in Toronto, Ontario, and now lives in Waterloo, Ontario. His most notable roles were the English voices of Astro Boy (produced by Montreal"s Cinelume Studios in 1985), Roobear in Adventures of the Little Koala, and Chad in Sailor Moon. At the time Astro Boy was dubbed from Japanese into English, Canadian voice-over regulations did not require producers to list voice actors" credits at the end of their productions.
As a result, although his voice aired for over a decade and a half on television, VHS, and Digital Video Disc, he received no official recognition for his contribution and did not receive royalties.
By the time Sailor Moon aired, however, ACTRA (the Alliance of Canadian Cinema, Television, and Radio Artists) had negotiated credits for dubbing. As a result, his name does appear in the list of credits for Sailor Moon.
He holds a Bachelor from York University"s Glendon College, an Master of Arts from the History Department of the University of Toronto and a Doctor of Philosophy from the Université du Québec à Montréal. He held a two-year postdoctoral fellowship at the Centre for Medieval Studies at the University of Toronto.
He is now Associate Professor of History at Saint Jerome"s College in the University of Waterloo, specialising in crime in Medieval France.
