About the author
Harlan Hogan has been a voice-actor for thirty-five years, and odds are, you already know what he sounds like. His commercial voice-overs include classic and contemporary ad slogans from “Raid. Kills bugs fast, kills bugs dead” and Life Cereal’s “It’s the cereal even Mikey likes,” to “This PBS program is made possible by viewers like you” and “Ford F-150. How’s that for trendy?” Twenty-six million online gamers hear him as the voice of Alistar in League of Legends, while filmgoers see and hear him in the fea-ture-length film Dimension. He’s equally at home narrating documentaries like Fannie’s Last Supper and Storm Warriors, as well as voice-overs for political candidates from mayors to presidents. He lives in the Northwest suburbs of Chicago.
