Early life
[edit]Liam Christopher O'Brien was born in Weehawken, New Jersey,[3] on May 28, 1976.[4] His mother, Lois Wiltse O'Brien, worked as an educator as well as a quality assurance trainer and consultant.[5] He has a sister named Cara.[5] His family were Reformed Christians,[6] and he was "raised by a Christian mother and attended 15 years of Christian schooling", but would later describe himself as agnostic.[7] He began acting in high school at St. Peter's Preparatory School, resolving to "just be a starving artist" as he knew the chances of success in the field were low.[8] O'Brien moved to New York City to attend the New York University Tisch School of the Arts.[9]
Career
[edit]In his early career, O'Brien worked in theater on various productions around the country.[3][10][11] He met Crispin Freeman while working on a production of Romeo & Juliet in Cincinnati, Ohio, which helped him get voice-over work back in New York.[9] He and his partner decided to leave the city in the aftermath of the September 11 attacks and pursued a voice acting career. While he enjoyed theater, he gave up on it as the voice work would better allow him to support and spend time with his family.[12]
O'Brien affirms that he often plays characters that are insane or evil geniuses, although he has also voiced comedic characters such as Fukuyama in Girls Bravo. He describes Cumore from Tales of Vesperia as "extremely unhinged". In Darksiders, he voices the lead character War, one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. He describes his voicing as deeper than his usual voice, and that he portrayed War as a fairly old soul who isn't surprised at the events around him. In the video game-based film Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children, he voiced Red XIII.[9] In addition to voice acting, he has worked as a voice director and writer on various video games and anime shows.[9]
He is also a cast member of the popular web series Critical Role, in which he and other voice actors play Dungeons & Dragons.[2][13] Critical Role was both the Webby Winner and the People's Voice Winner in the "Games (Video Series & Channels)" category at the 2019 Webby Awards;[14] the show was also both a Finalist and the Audience Honor Winner at the 2019 Shorty Awards.[15] After becoming hugely successful, the Critical Role cast left the Geek & Sundry network in early 2019 and set up their own production company, Critical Role Productions.[16][17][18][19] Soon after, they aimed to raise $750,000 on Kickstarter to create an animated series of their first campaign, but ended up raising over $11 million.[20] In November 2019, Amazon Prime Video announced that they had acquired the streaming rights to this animated series, now titled The Legend of Vox Machina,[21] O'Brien reprised his role as Vax'ildan.[22] In June 2021, O'Brien was added to the cast of Exandria Unlimited, a spinoff of Critical Role.[23][24][25] O'Brien is also one of the narrators for the audiobook edition of the novel Critical Role: Vox Machina – Kith & Kin (2021).[26][27]
Personal life
[edit]O'Brien married voice actress Amy Kincaid in 2002.[9][28][29] The couple have two children: a daughter and a son. They live in Los Angeles.[30]
He suffers from hyperacusis, a hearing disorder that makes him unusually sensitive to everyday noises.[31]
