Bob West launched his voice acting career straight out of college, becoming a leading voice in comedy dialog radio commercials, recording everything from national television voice overs to highly technical industrial narrations. In parallel, he worked as a creative director, copywriter, and graphic designer, as well as producing and directing radio and television commercials. In 1987, Bob was cast as the voices of Jasper and Pasqually – two of the animatronic characters at Chuck E. Cheese’s Pizza. Then in 1988, he was cast as the voice of Barney the Dinosaur. The PBS series Barney and Friends, went on to top ratings in its demographic, even besting Sesame Street. Highlights of Barney’s busiest years include twelve sold-out live performances at Radio City Music Hall; live network television appearances around the world, including five on NBC’s Today Show; a Daytime Emmy nomination for Best Children’s Series, plus Barney’s live appearance as an Emmy presenter; and RIAA-certified awards for Multi-Gold and Quadruple Platinum record sales. Bob continues working in network television and feature films, and is now appearing at pop culture conventions, and in the press – including interviews on Access Hollywood, Inside Edition, Australia’s Today Show, and Canada’s CBC Evening News, along with articles in other major media outlets like Rolling Stone.
