About Brad Grusnick
About
Brad Grusnick stole the lead in his first-grade play because he was “the loud kid” and has been acting ever since. Due to the odd structure of the Northwestern University School of Speech, he earned a Bachelor of Science in Theatre. Though he tells people he is a Theatre Scientist, they can still sniff out the B.S. After college he went through The Second City Conservatory and Second City Writing Programs in Chicago, where he met some very silly people who liked to do Improv. In addition to doing several shows at The Second City Training Center, he was in “The Fling,” a member team at The Playground Improv Theater. As a member of The Fling he helped co-create the stage show and podcast Mohansen High School.
Love of doing silly voices has benefited him greatly as a voice actor, doing voiceover commercials for Hyundai, Nintendo, Target, Taco Bell, Subway, Honda, Chevron, Sears, Hallmark, McDonald’s and many others. He has voiced characters for several video games, including Elder Scrolls Online, Diablo IV, Back4Blood, Days Gone, Metro: Exodus, Paragon, Tales from Borderlands, The Devil's Third, Bioshock Infinite, God of War: Ascension, Guardians of Middle Earth, Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, Resistance: Burning Skies, Crysis, Crackdown 2, and Asura’s Wrath. He was "Mayor Moose" and "Lou Behr" in the Amazon Animated Pilot, Bear in Underwear, was “Cockroach”, “Mumkey” and “Spiderlamb” on Bunnicula from WB Animation, and has a recurring role as “Magnus Finke” and “Gill” in Dragons Rescue Riders from Dreamworks Animation on Netflix and Peacock. He has recently dipped his toe into being an audiobook narrator. He was also a contestant on Jeopardy! He lost, but played his heart out.
Because he has so much time on his hands, Brad is also a published a trilogy of novels as a mystery writer. THE LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT OF ERNIE POLITICS, THE LAST DANCE OF LOW SEWARD, and THE LAST DAYS OF RAY COBB, are detective stories about a homeless man navigating the underbelly of Los Angeles. He also has the first drafts of four other novels sitting on his bookshelf waiting patiently to be revised to the point anyone might want to read them. BUY THEM HERE!
Brad is an adjunct professor at Columbia College Chicago and teaches voiceover at Acting Studio Chicago.
He is a native of Wausau, Wisconsin and currently divides his time between Chicago and Los Angeles.
