Dan Russell (Reader)
American-born Dan Russell has had a varied career mostly centred on voice and vocals for TV, radio, and animation. He arrived in the UK in the mid-80s, essentially as a songwriter for Acuff-Rose Music, and was soon working as a voice artist/session singer & guitarist for what was at the time a very London-centric music business. In 1994, Dan was asked to voice a character in Peter Rabbit and Friends, and has been an animation voice artist and voice director ever since. Dan has acted in and/or directed something like 5000 shows. Most recently, he has played 11 characters in the multi-award-winning The Amazing World of Gumball (Cartoon Network). Some of the Australian shows he has worked on include The Skinners, The Pirate Dinosaurs, Tashi, Teenage Fairytale Dropouts, and Lexi & Lottie. Reading the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series has been an honour and far more fun than you could imagine. Dan spends his days now voicing & voice directing animation, and contributing to TV & radio ads, and docs. He is also an active songwriter. His pastimes include his dog and fly fishing.
