I’ve been in children’s television my entire professional life, beginning in my teens when I starred in role of Tom Edison on the Nelvana-CBC-Disney series The Edison Twins. From there I went on to voicing cartoons and was fascinated with their scripts. The precision and economy of words scriptwriters use to tell a visual story struck me as nothing less than an art.

After performing 300 or so scripts in front of a mic I figured I must know something about that art and what a good script looks like. So, with the help of a producer who believed in me, I joined my first writing room and added “Scriptwriter” to “Actor” on my CV.

Since then I’ve story edited, developed and co-developed multiple series (Riley Rocket, Ranger Rob, Super Wings, The Remarkable Mr. King, Kiki & Nuna, The Moblees, Where Oliver Fits) and written and appeared in hundreds of hours of children’s programming.

In my now 40+ years in the business I’ve had the honour of working with the smartest, most creative and joy-filled people anyone could ever hope to meet. That has been the privilege of a lifetime, because here’s the thing…

To create entertaining and meaningful content for children, collaboration is everything.

I’ve been fortunate to have incredible creative partners, producers, directors, co-editors, co-writers, writers, book authors, composers, illustrators and mentors in Canada (where I’m based) and around the world in The United States, Asia and Europe.

For the theatre, I’m the co-author and lyricist of the stage musical NAPOLEON which has had 7 productions in 4 languages.

Some of the fun challenges that my collaborators and I have faced when developing animated and live action children’s content for television started like this…

While no show is ever the same, the building blocks used to make them are. Bibles need writing. Worlds need defining. Characters need creating. Structures need setting. Formats need finding. Tone needs establishing. Pilots need scripting.

And after all that…

Stories need spinning. Lots and lots of stories. Once a series goes into production, working with a talented and trusted team of writers as story editor is one of my greatest joys.

I’ve written and co-written hundreds of episodes on…

I’ve voiced over 1000 episodes of animation, playing some pretty fun and iconic characters: CAT on Little Bear, YOSHI on Super Mario World, DIDDY KONG on Donkey Kong Country, PTERENCE on Harry and His Bucket Full of Dinosaurs, SQUIRT on Mike the Knight, ANDROMEDA SHUN on Saint Seiya: Knights of the Zodiac, THE ERASER on Super Why!, POLKAROO on Polkadot Shorts, and many more.
