About Rupert
Rupert began his career in the UK dubbing films as apprentice to ‘the man of a thousand voices’, Robert Rietty. At the BBC, he honed his craft working with maverick radio director Dirk Maggs, fast becoming an in-demand voice actor for animation and video games. Rupert spent ten years on Bob the Builder, also working regularly for Turner, Disney, LucasArts, EA Games and Sony.
He has achieved critical acclaim in the UK and the USA for his prolific audiobook work, having narrated more than 300 titles. As an actor, Rupert has appeared on stage and screen, most notably in the West End productions of Stones in his Pockets and The 39 Steps, for which he and his fellow cast members won the Olivier Award for Best Comedy.
