Highlights
Want depth? Warmth? Humor? Character voice? Want a talent that's easy and fast to work with? You’ll get winning, ahead-of-schedule reads of ad copy and narration work with Jack.
With an acting career spanning four decades, Jack brings a seasoned and always fresh approach. It's been said he has the voice of "every man's man." A veteran of radio broadcasting and a long-time career as a spokesman before microphone and camera, Jack has the voice of comfort, and is the reliable teller of the straight story.
All this makes him a credible, laid-back storyteller, a skilled narrator, capable of dialects (High British, comedic Spanish), characterizations, wry comedy, and a conversational style. He's your average Joe, trustworthy, friendly, ironic, upbeat--your neighbor.
