Early life

Cho was born to Korean parents in Minnesota on December 9, 1990, [5] [6] and later moved to DeWitt, Michigan. [7] He started voice acting in high school when he voiced different characters on a friend's radio plays. [8] He attended Michigan State University, where he frequently acted in live performances and graduated in 2012 with a degree in Media Information and Technology. [8] [9] [10] In 2012, after graduating, he described himself as being "in a creative rut" and taught English as a second language to Korean immigrant students. [11]

Career

In October 2012, Cho began daily posting voice content to Tumblr, building an audience and eventually going viral with a video of him singing "Let It Go" from Frozen while approximating the voice of Goofy. [11] His first foray into professional voice acting occurred when voice director Deven Mack saw one of his YouTube videos and had him audition for Apotheon , where he ended up securing the role of the main villain Zeus. [12] He remained active on Vine until the 2016 announcement of their shutdown and was also a finalist for the 9th Shorty Awards for Vine of the Year. [13] [14] Cho shifted his focus to his YouTube channel, his audience following from Vine and having his work often appear on the frontpage of Reddit. [15] [16]

In 2017 Cho starred in his first live action role as the main character, Detective Joe Furuya, in Crunchyroll's Anime Crimes Division, for which he was nominated for Best Acting in a Comedy for the 8th Streamy Awards. [17] [18] In mid-2018 Creative Artists Agency reached out and signed him coinciding with an already planned move to Los Angeles to continue his career as a voice actor. [19] [20] Soon after he was cast in the multi-ethnic Rooster Teeth series Gen:Lock and told NewsWeek's Phillip Martinez, "Voice acting gives me a lot more freedom because I'm not limited by my physical appearance. I can voice all different sorts of characters." [21]

Cho's presence on YouTube grew throughout this time with his channel exceeding 3.75 million subscribers and most of his income between voice acting work coming from sponsorships and ad revenue. [22] His videos are intentionally low-budget and often feature recurring universes with their own casts of characters, including an anime parody ("The Tomoko Chairem Anime Canon") and a role-playing game parody ("King Dragon"), through which he pokes fun at common gaming and anime cliches and tropes. [22] He continued to expand these existing storylines that had originally started on Vine, as well as creating a Let's Play channel Press Buttons n Talk with his friend Alex Mankin. [22] [23] In 2019 Cho voiced the character FL4K in the popular video game Borderlands 3 . [24] He has been a fan favorite in the anime community being a frequent guest at conventions and presenting for the Crunchyroll Anime Awards. [25] [26]

In 2023, Cho made his live-action Hollywood debut, playing a supporting role in BlackBerry .

Personal life

In October 2015, Cho became engaged to Anne Marie Salter, a professional illustrator he met through an online Super Mario fan fiction community. [11] They married on May 28, 2016. [27] They have two cats named Effie and Sophie, who are often seen in Cho's videos. [28]

Cho came up with the username "ProZD" in elementary school, and said that he would not disclose what it means as "it's so embarrassing that even my wife doesn't know." [29] On April 26, 2022, Cho tweeted that he had finally revealed the meaning of the username to his wife after being together for fourteen years. [30]
