While playing D&D, not only did Yuri have to use his imagination to visualize the entire world of the game in his mind, but he also had to play as a character in that world as believably as possible. Yuri credits playing D&D for contributing to most of the things he likes about himself today. One huge influence on him when he was young, was when his father gave him the Dungeons and Dragons basic game set and then sat down and taught Yuri and his friends how to play. Yuri does admit that he loved storytelling on a deep level and that drove him to explore it first as a writer, and later as a performer. Often what inspires someone to pursue a career in the arts is not an intellectual or rational motivation, but rather a gut feeling that they need to explore a field of expression, like acting, in order to fulfill some need for psychological or spiritual satisfaction that can be difficult to articulate. This may come as a surprise to my listeners, but he’s not really sure! This uncertainty is actually not uncommon among artists. In this episode, Yuri shares with me what inspired him to become a performer in the first place. They’ve also written the well known book Voice Over Voice Actor, What It’s Like Behind the Mic. Yuri and his wife, Tara Platt, also have their own production company called Monkey Kingdom Productions where they develop and produce their own original shows and projects. In anime, he’s very well known for playing Sasuke in Naruto. In games, he’s worked on Prince of Persia, Sunset Overdrive, and Marvel’s Spider-man series.
