D.C. Douglas lives
in the Laurel Canyon area of Los Angeles, California, and continues
to act in film, television and theatre as well as perform voice
over.
D.C. also works as a voice over performer in television
and radio commercials as well as voice-matching celebrities like Val
Kilmer and Kevin Spacey. He was part of the first wave of "internet
age" voice over artists at the beginning of the 21st century who
built and worked from home studios.
Recent voice over credits
include The Master in the "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" video game,
Albert Wesker in "Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles", "Resident
Evil: The Darkside Chronicles", "Resident Evil 5" and "Marvel vs.
Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds, Raven in Tekken 6, AWACS Ghost Eye in
"Ace Combat 6: Fires of Liberation", Commandant Alexei in Tales of
Vesperia, Legion in Mass Effect 2, Grimoire Noir in Nier, as well as
several national campaigns (including the GEICO "Celebrity" campaign
from 2006–2008, the McDonald's "Be The Sizzle" campaign from
2009–2010, and Radio Shack's "Holiday Hero" campaign in 2010).
In April, 2010, Douglas came under fire from the Tea Party
movement for a phone call he made to Freedomworks in which he left
an inflammatory voice mail. A day later GEICO dropped him from the
new "shocking news" series of internet commercials that were in
post-production. This led to some debate in the voice over community
about whether announcers were public figures. Douglas responded by
producing a mock Tea Party PSA for YouTube that was subsequently
broadcast on Joy Behar's HLN show with Douglas as a guest.
In
addition to his commercial and video game voice over work, he also
does many voice overs for the non-profit progressive research and
information center Media Matters for America.
