Biography

His extensive stage credits include notable productions such as "What the Butler Saw", "Later Life", "A Chorus Line", and "The Illusion", which he has performed at prestigious venues like Circle in the Square, Manhattan Theater Club, Hartford Stage, and Cleveland Playhouse.

However, a life-altering spinal cord condition left him reliant on a cane or wheelchair, prompting a relocation from New York to Los Angeles. Undeterred, he continued to thrive in the entertainment industry, securing roles in TV shows such as "C.S.I. NY", "The Guardian", "Just Shoot Me", "Any Day Now", and "Malcolm in the Middle".

Beyond his on-screen presence, Grant is also a prolific voice-over artist, having lent his voice to a diverse array of clients, including Epson computers, CNN, Lexus, SWair, Lego, Havoline, Buick, and Walmart. His voice has also been featured in numerous animated characters, most notably "Leo the egg" in the Nickelodeon series "Oswald".

In addition to his work in film and television, Grant has provided voiceovers for a range of projects, including the animated films "Happy Feet" and "Jungle Book 3", as well as countless CD-ROM games. His impressive voice work earned him a nomination for Best Lead Performance in a Comedy for his role as "Crypto" in "Destroy All Humans 2" from the National Academy of Video Game Testers and Reviewers.

As a multi-talented individual, Grant is also an accomplished writer, speechwriter, and presentation coach. He is a sought-after motivational speaker, drawing upon his own experiences to inspire and motivate others.
