Not about the guy [[Meat Loaf (Music)|Meat Loaf]] played on ''[[Fight Club (Filmfilm)|Fight Club]]''. ''His'' name was Robert Pauls'''o'''n.<ref>His name was Robert Paulson. His '''name''' was Robert Paulson. And so on.</ref>
 
On March 11, 1956, Vocal Magic was born and was named Robert Fredrick Paulsen III. Originally from Detroit, Michigan, Rob loved cartoons as a kid and aspired to be a professional hockey player. Ironically, acting was something to "fall back on" and even though Rob voiced numerous characters in [[Warner Bros]] cartoons (''[[Taz Mania (Animation)|Taz -Mania]]'', ''[[Tiny Toon Adventures (Animation)|Tiny Toon Adventures]]''), he is best known as the voice of the boisterous and energetic laboratory mouse Pinky on two hit series, ''[[Pinky and The Brain (Animation)|Pinky and The Brain]]'' and ''Pinky, Elmyra and the Brain''.
 
"I'm getting paid to do what I got in trouble for in the seventh grade," jests Rob Paulsen, who won a Daytime Emmy in 1999 as "Outstanding Performer in an Animated Program" for ''Pinky and the Brain'' (WB). Though nominated twice previously, the victory was especially sweet due to the most formidable competition ever - fellow nominees Louie Anderson, Ernest Borgnine, Dom DeLuise and Jeffery Tambor. In addition to his Emmy, Rob won back-to-back Annie Awards in 1997 and 1998. "I absolutely love what I do and thank my lucky stars for 25 years of full-time employment in this business," he admits.
Line 12:
The goal of bringing absolute believability to a fictional character, live-action or animated, is what every actor strives for. Those committed to their career who combine experience, passion and skill are likely to succeed. Those gifted with exceptional talent who focus on maximizing their potential by finding their own niche, quickly break apart from the pack. After years of honing their craft and consistently delivering memorable performances in which the character impacts an indelible image on the viewer, the public and the industry take notice, singling out the best.
 
Paulsen's extensive credits include on-camera roles in numerous motion pictures including ''Body Double'', ''Stewardess School'', ''Eyes of Fire'', ''The Perfect Match'' and ''Warlock''. His television acting credits include guest-starring roles on ''[[MacGyver (TV)|MacGyver]]'' and ''[[St. Elsewhere]]''. Additionally, he is one of the most sought-after voice actors in the commercial arena, performing in over 1000 of them.
 
Realizing how fortunate he is and passionate about giving to charity, Rob supports various charitable organizations, particularly those benefiting children and cancer research. Rob's volunteer work with GOALmodels is particularly rewarding. GOALmodels, a high school program in Reseda, California, is designed to inspire ninth-graders to set goals and overcome obstacles in life. Blending his life experiences with passion for his work, his presentations are informative, entertaining and inspiring. In his leisure time, Rob enjoys golf, ice hockey and riding his motorcycle. He spends the majority of his free time with his wife, Parrish; son, Ash, and two Yorkshire terriers, Pooshie and Tala.
 
He recently started a podcast, "Talking Toons with Rob Paulsen", and is planning a live Q&A/Meet & Greet tour. Both can be accessed at [https://web.archive.org/web/20120704181743/http://robpaulsenlive.com/ RobPaulsenLive.com].
