Mark Moseley is an American actor, stand-up comedian, and a writer-sketch performer for radio. Even though he has appeared in a variety of films, TV shows, and video games, he is probably best known as a sound-double for Eddie Murphy.
[edit] Career
Moseley has also played Mushu the dragon for Disney in everything except the original film Mulan, where Eddie Murphy played Mushu. This includes starring in the sequel, Mulan 2, the former Mulan parade, and a trove of theme park attractions, TV shows and pilots, and video games, most recently in the Square Enix game Kingdom Hearts II. He also voiced several characters in Shrek 2, and sang in Murphy's place in the Shrek extra ending, Shrek in the Swamp Karaoke Dance Party and Donkey in the Shrek video games. Moseley has also sound-doubled Arnold Schwarzenegger, most notably in the video game Terminator 3: The Redemption, in which Moseley's voice is often heard 'side-by-side' with Schwarzenegger's original recordings for the previous Terminator game. Moseley has appeared on numerous hit TV series-mostly in voice-over roles. These include The Sopranos, The PJ's, Jimmy Kimmel Live, My Life as a Teenage Robot, Father of the Pride, Disney's House of Mouse, and others.
In the video game God of War III released for the PlayStation 3 in March 2010, Moseley voiced the character King Minos. In Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian video game, Mark played the role of Teddy Roosevelt, as portrayed in the movie by Robin Williams. For Star Wars: The Old Republic, Mark plays 8 roles in the game.
In 2007, Moseley was chosen for the voice of President Schwarzenegger in The Simpsons Movie. The producers had toyed with the idea of having the Schwarzenegger voice sound realistic (Moseley is known for his authentic-sounding impression of Arnold), as opposed to a parody. In the end, they used the original cast member Harry Shearer, who performs the Schwarzengger parody 'Ranier Wolfcastle' in the TV series.
[edit] Personal life
Moseley has two children in the entertainment industry. His daughter, Amanda Moseley, (whose professional name is Mandy Rain), was a cast member of the Nickelodeon series Star Camp, produced by host Nick Cannon, Quincy Jones, and Quincy Jones III. She has gone on to be one of the stars of Nick Cannon's girl group School Gyrls, a '360' project that includes a TV movie, music, and merchandising- including a tween-aimed book series. His son, Matthew Moseley,(Known as Matt Storm) most notably appeared in multiple episodes of the MTV series Punk'd, and appeared twice as a special guest on Fox TV's So You Think You Can Dance?.
