It's my life.

Silver Spring, Maryland, United States
Recipe to make me: Take one English male and transplant to America. Marry him and produce a couple of children. Now, add a huge dose of employment disasters. Toss together with hardship, in-laws and a generous splattering of insanity. Simmer for a few years and your end result will be...me.

The top 10 people you know...but don't know.

Bit of a confusing title, huh? Well this blog is a list of ten performers that you will have crossed paths with somewhere in your tv/movie viewing life but would probably not recognize if you fell over them in the street. All will become clear. In no particular order let's begin...

Kevin Clash - You might not be familiar with the name but I'll bet you know exactly who his alter-ego is...a furry red monster named Elmo. Yep, this guy below is actually the creator and voice of Elmo.

Carroll Spinney - Contrary to how the name might sound Carroll is actually a guy. He too works down on Sesame Street and you might know him better for the voices of Big Bird and Oscar the Grouch who are characters he created. He also used to be the guy inside Big Bird...ooh, that sounds bestially rude doesn't it!

Nancy Cartwright - Does the name ring a bell? Probably does as it appears at the beginning of every Simpsons episode. And which female character does Nancy play? None of them as she is Bart Simpson.

Dan Castellaneta - Probably the most famous of the Simpsons cast Dan plays Homer as well as many other of the regular characters that appear on The Simpsons.

Julie Kavner - So what about Marge? Well....

Yeardley Smith - And Lisa...

Don LaFontaine - You ever watch a movie and that guy with the deep, rumbling voice seems to do the voice overs on nearly all the trailers? And then after the movie he's voicing over commercials on tv. This is him....

Anthony Daniels - Sometimes the man behind the mask is exactly what you would expect him to look like...in this case, gay! Mr Daniels is the one and only C3PO in the Star Wars movies.

Mel Blanc - This guy is arguably the most famous voice of them all on this list. If you haven't heard his characters then you were born deaf. He is the voice of many including Bugs Bunny, Tweetie, Porky Pig and Sylvester the cat. Yep, he voiced nearly all the WB classic cartoon characters until his death.

Seth McFarlane - Last, but by no means least, is Seth who not only created Family Guy and American Dad but does the lead voices in both those sitcoms...whether he is portraying Stewie or Peter in FG or Stan in AD you're probably not familiar with how he looks. Until now....

And that, as they say, is a wrap.
