Duncan Brannan (born June 25, 1970) is an American voice actor, who has provided voices for numerous mainstream children's entertainment characters, English-language dubs of Japanese anime, and other commercial properties.

Career

Brannan was the voice of Chuck E. Cheese in restaurant chains across the U.S., as well as his English and Spanish voice in national commercials seen on PBS, Nickelodeon, and other places from January 1993 to April 2012.[1][2][3][4] He was replaced by musician and singer Jaret Reddick when Chuck E. Cheese’s revamped their image.[1][5][3] Brannan is also known for his work on the children's TV series Barney & Friends from 1997 to 2002, providing Barney's character and singing voice for home video releases, his singing voice for the PBS series following Bob West’s (who's also done voices of Chuck E Cheese characters) departure, fill-in and replacement, as well as Barney’s voice for numerous public relations spots on radio and television and merchandise from plush toys to games, compact discs, and more. Ironically, Chuck E. Cheese was a sponsor to Barney & Friends at the time as well as other PBS programs such as Arthur and Clifford the Big Red Dog.

Brannan has also voiced commercials and industrials for secular and religious markets. Some of his most notable credits are: Taco Bueno, Martha Stewart, Just Brakes, The Department of Defense, Brinker's International (for Chili's, Maggiano's, On the Border, and Romano's Macaroni Grill), Methodist Health Systems, Leslie's Pool Supplies, Cambien Voyager, New Horizons, Stop Her Now, K Havnanian Homes, First United Bank, Campus Crusade for Christ, Chuck Swindoll, Lone Star College System, Parkland Health and Hospital Systems, JPI Realtors, the National Rifle Association's Eddie Eagle & the Wing Team, Okratron 5000, and Funimation, Inc.

Outside of voice acting, Brannan also works as a writer, artist, consultant, and pastor.[6]

Personal life

He currently resides in Fort Worth, Texas with his wife Ralana Lynn Gregg, whom he married on January 2, 1993.[6] Together they have two daughters, Kaydra and Karlisa Brannan.[6]
