David Kaufman

David Kaufman is one of those actors my generation knows by voice before face. A St. Louis native and UCLA grad, he has voiced Danny Phantom, Jimmy Olsen across DC projects, and even Marty McFly in the Back to the Future animated series. You may not recognize him, but you have almost certainly heard him. What strikes me is how his background in singing, dancing, and comedy feeds such expressive voice work. He looks like a behind-the-scenes craftsman, but he is the one breathing life into characters. I have deep respect for performers who pour artistry into roles audiences never see them perform.
