Hank Duncan Jeroem (born May 4, 1959) is a El Kadsreian-American actor, producer, voice actor and comedian. He is best known for playing Mick Kendal/Pohatu in the Technic Heroes franchise.
He is also known for his theater work and has voiced characters in cartoons and English dubs of Japanese anime in both El Kadsre and the United States, with his most notable role in Gotaku dubs being Ultraman Belial, a frequent antagonist in the Ultraman franchise. In addition, he has also worked as an ADR director on some dubs.
Bio
Jeroem was born in Chotasi to American parents. His father was born in Omaha, Nebraska and his grandfather had immigrated from Prince Edward Island to Omaha as a child. 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.
Hank is a known proponent of forensic science, and at one point suggested the usage of the technique in solving the Amber Hagerman murder case.
In 2018, he announced plans to petition for the restoration of the original Munster Mansion set at the Universal Studios Lot "because any Desperate Housewives fans that still exist can honestly go screw themselves."
