Michael T. Coleman is the evil mastermind behind these Extraordinary Tales. His dark past includes two decades of professional improvisational comedy throughout New England, Los Angeles, and Japan; a slew of theatre in Los Angeles and Boston, and studying under members of RADA and the Royal Shakespeare Company at Oxford...as well as film and television work of varying degrees (most recently, making the rounds in Asia in a co-star role for Harimaya Bridge, and making the rounds in film festivals with Dada). Michael can be seen hosting the Special Effects Stages at Universal Studios, co-hosting the web series "Trailer Trash" and in the long-running Dungeon Master show in Hollywood. Oh, and in neverending repeats of "Blind Date." He's the one with the mermaid.
Jordan is a Jack-Of-All-Trades by trade, working as a freelance film & video producer, director & editor most of his time. He spends the remaining time pursuing opportunities as an actor and voice-talent for animation and video games. Recently, he became a founding member of The RAIZEcollective, and LA-based group of DJs, VJs, visuals artists, programmers and cultural engineers, who organize and promote events to showcase cutting-edge Media, art, and sustainable technologies. In addition to his many roles in "Tales Of The Extraordinary", he plans to become famous on the internet with his portrayal of Bowser in the popular webseries "There Will Be Brawl".
Donna grew up in Austin, Texas where she was encouraged to try acting after being spotted in a mall by a local talent scout. After landing a supporting role in her first big film "The Faculty", she moved up to New York to continue studying and landed more leading roles in independent features. Then it was time to make the move to L.A. to give it a go in the world of television and film. She's been here just a short time and has already been cast in a recurring role on "The Bold and the Beautiful". Currently, Donna has a lead in a short film called "Blood Makes Noise" that has just been accepted into another prestigious film festival and is being developed into a feature. Donna has also developed a production company called “Ladies Lunch Productions” with the focus on television shows designed to help women and teens in the community.
Spenser arrived on the planet in a past decade. For the first several years of her life she had NO IDEA of what was going on. Ahhh, childhood. Then she went to college. Had a GREAT time. The colleges have yet to recover. For an eon or so after college, Spenser worked for various government agencies. Yet again, she had NO IDEA of what was going on. Ahhh, working for government agencies. Spenser finally came to her senses, quit the government agencies, and became an actor. She feels that she has been extremely successful in her endeavors despite several setbacks: She has never appeared in a dinner theatre production of a Wagner opera. She was never been cast in a mini-series. She has never been a stand in for Julia Roberts. No one in the business has told her to start writing her Academy Award speech.
Taliesin Jaffe is the only member of the troupe to have a Wikipedia entry which calls him, "A professional voice-over artist, voice director, script writer, voice actor, and former child actor." Which we assume means former child, not former actor. He is known for directing and writing many English language anime titles for New Generation Pictures, most notably R.O.D the TV and Hellsing. His voice can be heard in a number of video game titles, especially as The Flash in Mortal Kombat vs. DC. Jaffe has also written many articles and spoken as a guest lecturer at universities, libraries, and conventions...when not being followed to the bathroom by fanboys.
A native of Bell Buckle, TN, Nathan G Johnson first came to Los Angeles to study theater as an undergrad at UCLA. He now makes his living as a blue-collar actor, hustling for commercials, voice-over work, bit tv parts and the occasional cheap flick. Most recently he starred in a western... cell phone commercial... in Poland (you can check it out on nathangjohnson.com) Nathan lives happily in Monterey Hills with his charming wife, Yuki and their freaking super-cute baby, Alice.
Donald Marshall is both Hawaiian and Icelandic. He is genetically confused. He is also the cohost of a long running podcast called Geeks On where he talks about life in the video game industry and many other fun, geeky topics. Though he tries his best to evade Mr. Coleman, Donald keeps getting roped into his pulpy adventures. He also plays a mean - very mean - game of Arkham Horror.
Joseph Newhouse grew up on Burns and Allen, Jack Benny, The Whistler, Dobie Gillis, and Suspense, right alongside G-Force, Kate and Allie, The New Facts of Life, and scrambled softcore porn. He lends his buckets of voice to "Vipo the Flying Wonderdog" as well as many "Tales" characters, but mostly it is the centrepiece of the quirky harmonic acoustic band Windows to Sky. In muter times, he is a writer, an audio producer, a video editor, a programmer, an art model, and a silks aerialist.
Chris hails from the great white northeast of Pennsylvania, where he graduated from Penn State before studying at Baron and Brown Studios. After shooting a pilot for "Ghosthunters PSI," he decided to make the move to California and its unforgiving heat. Chris can be found on the DVD "The Hall Monitor," as well as the upcoming short film, P.E.T.Z. (where his sword combat experience comes in) and his voice can often be found on the 1920's pulp radio drama "Tales of the Extraordinary" on your podcast dial. He also sings a mean power ballad.
