has
always pushed the behavioral envelope. A performer from
a very early age, he enjoyed doing impressions, dialects,
writing and playing the class clown. At 13, Bruce traded
in his oversized shoes for a leather jacket in the Central
Ohio Children's Television Workshop.
It was
a recurring role on a syndicated show called "The Judge"
produced by WBNS-TV, the local CBS affiliate, as a juvenile
delinquent gang member. Finding acting a constructive creative
outlet, he also performed in several children's theater
productions.
Later,
an opportunity arose to join a local radio station. This
began a radio career writing and performing characters,
mostly on morning shows, for such illustrious and irreverent
institutions as WLUP/Chicago, KCBQ/San Diego, KZEW/Dallas
and five years with ABC Radio Networks.
Along
the way were stints at several universities, including four
years in the San Francisco Bay area earning an associate
music degree. Playing small coffee houses and ushering at
the S.F. War Memorial Opera House gave Bruce a chance to
sing and wear a tuxedo - but not at the same time.
His
career has included commercial and industrial voiceover
for accounts like Wal Mart, Pizza Hut, Miller Beer, Frito-Lay,
U.S. Navy, McDonalds, Greyhound, Haggar Slacks, Lincoln-Mercury,
Pier One Imports, Universal Studios Florida, and as the
male voice for America Online, network and cable.
Acting
in industrial films and a couple of "B" science
fiction movies, Bruce walked the thin line between fantasy
and reality. All the while, writing and honing those characters
which would one day get him noticed or put on stronger medication.
He's
done improvisational acting training with Randy Bennett,
founding member of the seminal L.A. improv group The Groundlings.
And while studying with premier voice coaches Marice Tobias
and Dick Orkin of The Radio Ranch, he met actress/writer
Molly Moroney.
Bruce
now lives in Dallas, Texas doing voiceover, producing and
directing voice talent, writing and performing with his
partner, Molly, in Glass Ceiling Productions. Glass Ceiling
offers custom creative services and advertising concepts,
specializing in a very "real person" conversational,
contemporary approach.
