Hi there, my name is Crispin Freeman, and I'll be your guide through the world of voice acting.

I'm back with the second part of my interview with the ridiculously talented, David O'Rigo, Jr.

David has worked on animated shows like Tiny Tunes Loaniversity, X-Men 97, Phineas and Furb, and

Ridley Jones, where he was nominated for an Emmy for his performance as the character Dudley.

In video games, he's been in Disney Speedstorm, Disney Dreamlight Valley,

Harry Potter Quidditch Champions, and Shin Megami Tensei 5 and 5 Vengeance. In anime, he's

worked on Yu-Gi-O-Pokamon, Tezacca's anime, Pluto, and the new production of Ronma One Half.

In the previous episode, David shared with me how he got started as a voice actor.

In middle school, he began taking acting classes and singing in his school choir.

He studied acting in college, Todd acting at a children's theater company after college,

did a tour as an actor on a Disney cruise ship,

and worked at regional theaters around the country acting and singing in plays and musicals. When he finally got to New York

to pursue a career on Broadway, he discovered his love for voice acting and animation,

and realized that's what he was meant to do in life. He knew then that he would need to move to Los Angeles

in order to work on the kinds of animated shows and games that fascinated him.
