Biography

Radio career

From 2004 to 2014, and again from 2015 to 2017, Ward was the co-host of The Stephanie Miller Show, a nationally syndicated liberal radio talk show that features a number of his impersonations of political figures and other celebrities and news makers.

Voice over career

Ward is known for his dozens of roles in animation and video games. During his long career, he has voiced Captain Copernicus Leslie Qwark in the Ratchet & Clank franchise, Mannimarco in The Elder Scrolls Online, Diamondhead in Ben 10 and Ben 10: Destroy All Aliens, Henry Peter Gyrich in The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes, newscaster Chet Ubetcha and Doug Dimmadome, Owner Of The Dimmsdale Dimmadome on The Fairly OddParents, Angus on The Secret Files of the Spy Dogs, and Professor Xavier in Wolverine and the X-Men.

In 2006, Ward played Eyemore, Crusher, and Stoker on Biker Mice from Mars, which was a remake of the 1990s show of the same name. The character Stoker had been played by Peter Strauss on the show, but after he left the series, Ward took over. In 2009, for his roles on the show, he was nominated and won the Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Performer in an Animated Program.
