Dave Fennoy (born January 20, 1952) is an American voice actor.[1]

David Henderson Fennoy was born on January 20, 1952 in Silver Spring, Maryland, however soon after his birth, his family moved to Cleveland, Ohio. He was a child actor in Ohio theatre productions.[citation needed]

Fennoy started as a disc jockey in the San Francisco bay area when he first discovered and became interested in voice over work.[citation needed] After creating a demo, Joan Spangler, an agent in San Francisco saw his talent and signed him.[citation needed] He booked his first audition, a spot for the California Lottery, but after quick success things slowed to a near halt.[citation needed] After talking with a friend who started in Voice Over at about the same time but was being booked much more often, he began taking voice over classes with a transplanted Los Angeles voice talent named Samantha Paris,[citation needed] including a weekend workshop taught by her agent Leigh Gilbert.[citation needed] In the fall of 1989 Gilbert invited Fennoy to sign with her agency and come to Los Angeles.[citation needed] He turned down Gilbert's offer as, at the time, he was the morning DJ at local radio station KSOL, so he figured L.A. could wait.[citation needed] In February 1990 the radio station fired Dave, and most of the disc jockeys, so Dave contacted Gilbert and was on his way to L.A.[citation needed] Once in L.A., things happened pretty fast and Dave soon found himself voicing commercials, TV promos, and cartoons. One of his first jobs in the winter of 1990, was as the voice of RoboCop in the telephonic RoboCop game.[2] In 1990, he voiced his first character in an animated series, Dick Scott in New Kids on The Block, the following year he voiced Bo Jackson in ProStars, and later did many additional characters on Sonic the Hedgehog. Dave Fennoy is married to Ilene Fennoy and has one daughter Michelle.[citation needed]
