About Ivan
The 5th generation in a family of British performers, Ivan spent much of his first 20 years travelling back and forth between England and Canada. Classically trained at Shakespeare & Company in Lenox, MA, Ivan is a Toronto-based actor/teacher who works in PCap and gaming VO, commercial VO, animation, looping, dubbing, audiobooks, and film/TV.
He’s spent hundreds of hours in the volume and in the booth for games like Watch Dogs: Legion, The Division 2, Far Cry 5, Starlink: Battle for Atlas, Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, Watch Dogs 2, Splinter Cell: Conviction, and five Assassin’s Creeds, among others. He’s currently working on a handful of games but he can’t tell you what they are (you know the drill).
He voices Old Bennett in the fantastic animated series and family show, Saving Me (ACTRA Best Voice Performance Award nom), Drac in Season 2 of Hotel Transylvania – The Series, and he is the rebooted Inspector Gadget, to name a few of his ‘toons. Commercial VO credits include some of the world’s biggest brands and in 2023, he was nominated for a OneVoice award for Best Performance - Corporate/Explainer.
Onscreen, his fave gig was playing Scotty Pullover opposite Ewan MacGregor on Season 3 of Fargo (he’s as awesome as you’d hope he’d be). Other credits include Cardinal, Orphan Black, Murdoch Mysteries, Kin, The Frankie Drake Mysteries, Reign, The Kennedys: After Camelot, Man Seeking Woman, 2nd Generation, Warehouse 13, Nikita, Rogue, The Listener, Saving Hope, Cracked, Bloodletting and Miraculous Cures, Queer as Folk, and When Love is Not Enough: The Lois Wilson Story.
In 2017, he founded MoCapU to train actors to work in video games. He teaches MoCap and VO at Toronto Metropolitan University and MoCap at George Brown College. He’s also taught for many other programs, including Victoria Atkin’s “PCap with the Pros”.
FUN FACTS
He met his wife at Shakespeare & Company, where they were shackled together as Troilus and Cressida and drove each other bananas. They still do.
He once won a 50/50 draw at a Vancouver Canucks game which paid the tuition for Shakespeare & Co (see above) so, in essence, he won his wife at a hockey game
British actor Samantha Bond (Pierce Brosnan’s Moneypenny, Downton Abbey) is his cousin.
His father and uncle danced in theatres, nightclubs, and casinos across Britain and Europe in the 40s & 50s, including three months at the Moulin Rouge.
He has a keen love of Marmite, Jelly Babies, “Escape to the Country”, and toast.
