Career

Brannan was the voice of Chuck E. Cheese in restaurant chains across the U.S., as well as his English and Spanish voice in national commercials seen on PBS, Nickelodeon, and other places from January 1994 to April 2012. [1] [2] [3] [4] He was replaced by musician and singer Jaret Reddick when Chuck E. Cheese’s revamped their image. [1] [5] [3] Brannan is also known for his work on the children's TV series Barney & Friends from 1997 to 2002, providing Barney's character and singing voice for home video releases, his singing voice for the PBS series following Bob West’s (who's also done voices of Chuck E Cheese characters) departure, fill-in and replacement, as well as Barney’s voice for numerous public relations spots on radio and television and merchandise from plush toys to games, compact discs, and more. Ironically, Chuck E. Cheese was a sponsor to Barney & Friends at the time as well as other PBS programs such as Arthur and Clifford the Big Red Dog .
