Michael Prichard has played several thousand characters during his career. While he has been seen performing over 100 of them in theatre, Michael is primarily heard—having recorded over 500 full-length books, including works by Ray Bradbury, John D. MacDonald,  Rex Stout, Clive Cussler and masters of suspense ranging from Georges Simenon and Dashiell Hammett to Robert B. Parker and Tom Clancy. He won Earphones Awards for three of his non-fiction recordings. SmartMoney Magazine named him one of the Top Ten Golden Voices, an asset he developed as a boy singing at the wheel of a tractor on his family’s Kansas farm. Jesuits in Wichita and Saint Louis taught him Latin, Greek, and French. He earned an MFA in theatre from the University of Southern California.
