Bettina Kenney was born in the land of the poets & thinkers, ancient forests and fairy tale castles - Germany. Her childhood in England probably explains her predilection for the scent of gas cookers, her love for British television and an utter aversion to the misuse of the Saxon genitive.
After attending elementary & secondary school back in Germany, where she trained as a competitive gymnast, dancer, singer and musician, Bettina returned to her beloved island to study Performing Arts at the prestigious London Studio Centre.
She has since been whirling across stages in Occident & Orient playing fierce roles in awarded theater productions, and even had the pleasure of performing in front of Leonard Bernstein's daughter Jamie Bernstein as "Anybodys" in the acclaimed production of West Side Story at the Komische Oper Berlin. At one of her first on-camera auditions, actually being called in for a dance part, Bettina ended up with a small role in the Paramount movie Russendisko (2012), which turned out to be the starting signal for her career on the screen. Since then - several years and movies later - she has made a name for herself as a quadrilingual actor and highly versatile voice artist for film & television.
When not in front of the camera, in the recording studio or on a stage, Bettina is most likely to be seen flying around a pole somewhere on this planet.- Editorial Department

I'm a lifelong hacker, musician, and artist, passionately making connections between the seemingly disparate.
My hacker attitude prioritizes freedom and the power of independent thought to protect the freedoms of our society. Media is a portal, to bring the eyes and ears, then mind into another world, of comedy, adventure, enlightenment, or propaganda.
Yet, what I'm most excited about is this entirely new collaborative medium that I invented for ambient music production, transforming the way we experience sound in shared spaces.- Born in Miami, Florida, Chris Ryan Lauer is an author, artist, and academic.

Joe in 1989. Working as an on-air talent for radio station C.K.L.G. (L.G.73) quickly became less interesting as both on-camera and behind-the-microphone roles started taking up more time. Over the next decade and a half David's on camera roles burgeoned along with his vocal career. On camera opportunities came in the form of guest roles on numerous TV series and movies such as The X-Files, Battlestar Galactica and Happy Gilmore.
During this time David was being cast in some of the first of hundreds of animated shows and video games. So many, in fact, this now became the main focus of his career and he's never looked back.
David's biggest moment was when he was cast as Megatron in 1994 in the popular series 'Transformers'. As a new animation art form was taking off (bolstered by Mainframe Entertainment's C.G.I. advances), 'Beast Wars' was born ('Beasties' in Canada) and would run for three seasons of "...the most fun you could ever have!". Thus began an almost twenty-year relationship with the 'Transformers' franchise. In 2007, David became the only actor in the history of the franchise to play the lead villain AND the lead hero when he was cast as Optimus Prime for Cartoon Network's 'Transformers: Animated'.
Once again, David finds himself returning to a franchise he first engaged in years before. This time going back to the beginning with G.I. Joe. Not only can he be heard as Scarlett's father, but also introducing every episode as the narrator during the opening titles.
For fans of Anime, David was the voice behind Sesshomaru in the English dub of the original 'InuYasha' series, Treize Khushrenada in 'Mobile Suit Gundam Wing', Recoome in the original English dub of 'Dragon Ball Z', and as the high strung father, Soun Tendo in 'Ranma 1/2'. His anime work still brings fans to conventions to meet him.
After commuting between Vancouver and Los Angeles for almost a decade, a full-time move to L.A. was inevitable. Shortly after the move, David landed a role in Disney/Pixar's Oscar winning movie, 'Up'.
As the work keeps coming in, David's voice can be heard in Insomniac's 'Ratchet & Clank' video game series as the lovable robot Clank. He's also been featured as Mysterio in 'Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions', 'Disney Infinity: Marvel Super Heroes' and 'Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3: The Black Order', Nick Fury and Captain America in 'Marvel: Ultimate Alliance 2', Nathan Hale in 'Resistance', Logan Carter in 'Dead Island', Missing Link in 'Monsters vs. Aliens', and many more.
He has continued to work in cartoons, voicing Khyber in 'Ben 10: Omniverse' and Baby Reginald on 'Regular Show', as well as J.A.R.V.I.S., Vision and Baron Zemo on 'Avengers Assemble', Vandal Savage on 'Young Justice', Duckworth on 'DuckTales', and Grandpa Max in the reboot of 'Ben 10'. David also voices segments for the HBO news-satire program 'Last Week Tonight with John Oliver'.
With continuing commitments for movie trailers, network promotions for ABC, Fox, the CW, and a host of radio and television affiliates and a lot of commercial work, the days get a little tight from time to time, but he doesn't mind. - Camera and Electrical Department
