Alicyn's Wonderland

This week’s guest is a Wushu Kung Fu Specialist with three black belts to this name. Kicking into this week’s episode with me is voice actor Adam McArthur, who is best known as the voice of Marco Diaz the deuteragonist of the hit Disney XD animated series, Star vs. the Forces of Evil. He is also the voice of Yuuji Itadori in the hit anime Jujutsu Kaisen, as well as Chifuyu Matsuno in Tokyo Revengers.

Join us as Adam talks about how he went from competing in martial arts tournaments to carving out a career in on-camera and voice acting. Adam takes us all the way back to his beginnings, where he started by taking a 4-week class held by a former Sesame Street voice talent in San Francisco plus his unlikely victories as a student of various martial arts! He also shares his views on why pursuing passions and hobbies beyond one’s craft is crucial for growth and success. Finally, Adam also takes the time to talk to us about his awesome characters like Marco Diaz and Prince Lee Char from the television series, Star Wars: Clone Wars.
