Early life and career [edit]

Candice Anne Rose Milo was born in Palm Springs, California, however shortly after her family moved to San Jose, where she attended the all-girls Presentation High School. Her father, Tony Migliaccio, was a child actor who changed his name to Milo when he started playing adult roles.

By the age of sixteen, she was already singing in theme park attractions, most notably at Disneyland in Anaheim and afterwards started appearing in roles in movies and television series, such as Gimme a Break!, Knots Landing, Perfect Strangers. Candi Milo was also a member of "The Mighty Carson Art Players"" on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson. She accidentally got into voice over after singing on stage. She was signed by The William Morris Agency for voice acting, which was initially disappointing to her because Milo originally wanted a singing career but settled with a voice over career.

Milo's first voice role was as Sweetie Pie in Tiny Toons Adventures in 1990. Later she replaced Christine Cavanaugh as the voice of Dexter in Dexter's Laboratory in 2001, when Ms. Cavanaugh retired from voice acting for personal reasons, and voiced Dexter to the end of the show. Her other voice credits include Snap from ChalkZone, The Flea on ¡Mucha Lucha!, and the title character in the U.S. version of the 2003 Astro Boy (Tetsuwan Atomu) series. Milo says that when creating a unique voice the artist's drawings speak to her and that she prides herself on creating "a full life" for each character.[1]

Milo also played Lonette, a sexy animated waitress; Bob, a member of Holli Would's gang of goons who was a crossdresser; and other characters in Cool World in addition to feeding lines to the other actors. A single mother, she lives in the Silverlake suburb of Los Angeles with her daughter and son.
