Life and career

Hank Duncan Jeroem was born in Chotasi to American parents. His father was born in Quincy, Massachusetts in the Boston area, while his mother was originally from Baton Rouge, Louisiana. His grandfather on his father's side had immigrated from Prince Edward Island to the United States as a child. He spent part of his childhood in Quincy, but otherwise lived for most of his early life in modern-day El Kadsre. After graduation from Miku Kayos College in North Comoeys City, he initially found employment as a undercover police officer for the North Comoeys Police Agency before becoming an actor, starting out with the North Comoeys Players before becoming a television & film actor. During the mid-1980s, Hank moonlighted as a film critic under the pen name of "William Ruiz".

In 1992, Hank moved to Boston, Massachusetts to be closer to his aging parents. He made his New England theater debut in the Cape Cod Melody Tent production of Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, playing Brick.

Personal Life

Hank lives in Boston, Massachusetts, U.S. and also has a home in El Kadsre City, El Kadsre; splitting his time between the two cities. He is a dual citizen of the United States and El Kadsre. Hank has toured with theater productions in the United States, Canada and Australia, and has been an artist-in-residence at Harvard University since 2005.

One of the recording booths at the main facility of Boston City Sound Studios is named "Hank's Bay" after him, since he has commonly recorded his dialogues for characters from it.
