Paul Anthony Christie (born 1951) is an American voice actor. He was born and raised in Manhattan. Over his long career Paul has worked as an artist, writer, narrator, and comedian, as well as an voice actor. In the 70's Paul was a contributing editor for Crawdaddy magazine. In the 1980s he performed stand up in and around New York and was a founding member of the improvisational group The House Band. His graphic artwork was well known in New York through Kid Christie, the company he co-founded with Theresa Fiorentino. As a writer Paul co-wrote the albums "Midnight at the Lost and Found", and "Blind before I Stop" for the rock star Meatloaf. He is probably best known over the past 35 years as a voice artist. Over his career Paul has done thousands of commercials for clients including Chrysler, Dominoes, Pontiac, Canon, Calvin Klein and Budweiser. His award winning role as "Louie the Lizard" for Budweiser, became an advertising legend.
Paul's career in animation and children's video and television is far reaching. Recently he created the character of Vinnie, the wise guy panda, for Fox's Biscuits in England. At home in the U.S., he created the character of Zook for CTW's "Zook and Allison". Some other well known roles include Carr in Adult Swim's "Stroker and Hoop", and the handsome Ram in Disney's "Brother Bear".
As a narrator Paul has worked extensively for Discovery, the Nature series on PBS, as well as A&E, History, Biography, and many others. For Nature, his credits include the six-part series "Deep Jungle", as well as "Owl Power", "Killers in Eden", and "Can Animals Predict Disaster" among others. Presently he narrates both long running Discovery series "Gold Rush", and "Dual Survival".
His true home away from home though has been Nickelodeon. In the 90's Paul voiced Stick Stickly for Nick's ground breaking "Nick in the Afternoon" created by Agi Fodor and Karen Kufflick. Stick endures to this day as Nick is currently celebrating its 20th anniversary. On Nick Jr. (formerly Noggin) Paul voiced the beloved Moose A. Moose from 2003 until 2012, and just voiced the new Nick app for kids online.
Paul Christie was also the NY President of the Screen Actors Guild from 2003-2007. During that same time frame he also served as the 2nd National Vice President of the Guild. He served on the Board of Directors from 2000-2009.
