That is a damn good question! Since this blog isn’t about sex, politics or SEO, it had better have a good reason for being.
If you are ever in the habit of watching television, listening to commercials on the radio or playing video games until your brain goes soft, then odds are you have been intimate with the work of D.C. Douglas… and you ranked higher in Google, had good sex and won an election.
D.C. was born in Berkeley, California, to a liberal, artist mother and a conservative, salesman father during the tumultuous sixties. Like his vaudevillian grandfather, he fell into theatre at an early age. Acting was the one constant in a childhood filled with many moves and schools.
He studied and preformed at the San Jose Music/Arts Institute, the San Jose Children’s Musical Theatre and the East Bay Centre Repertory as well as other Northern California theatre companies in the late 70s and early 80s.
He moved to Los Angeles in 1985 to study under (the late, great) Estelle Harman, became a member of the critically acclaimed New One-Act Theatre Ensemble from 1989 to 1992 and landed several small film and TV roles here and there.
His semi-break came in 1996, when he was cast in a guest role on the pilot Boston Common. The producers liked his quirky versatility on-camera (and his loud laugh off-camera at the network run-thru) that he returned for 10 more episodes as the anal and humorless “D.C.”
More film and TV work followed; An effete designer on Beverly Hills, 90210 
In recent years, his voice over career has gone into hyper-drive. Aside from countless radio and television commercials, he landed two Celebrity Campaigns for GEICO, the villain Albert Wesker in Resident Evil 5, and Legion in Mass Effect 2.
