Martin T. Sherman (born 1971)[1] is an American actor, director, writer and inventor. He is best known for his various voice roles in the children's television series Thomas & Friends and his voice role as Pac-Man in the 2005 video game Pac-Man World 3.

Early life

[edit]

Martin T. Sherman was born in St. Petersburg, Florida in 1971.[1] He is a graduate of Gibbs High School.[2]

Career

[edit]

Sherman has starred in several films and television as well as providing voice acting for several video games, including Pac-Man in Pac-Man World 3 (2005), the first time the character ever had a voice actor in his games.[citation needed] From 2009 to 2015, Sherman voiced Thomas the Tank Engine and Percy the Small Engine in the American dub of the children's television series Thomas & Friends, as well as providing their voices for the Day out with Thomas dummy units (and the steam locomotive at the Strasburg Rail Road). He also voiced Diesel in the show's US dub from 2013 to 2015, taking over from former U.S. narrator Michael Brandon.[3][4][5] After Sherman's departure from the series, Joseph May, Christopher Ragland, and Kerry Shale had taken over the roles of Thomas, Percy, and Diesel respectively, though Shale had already voiced the latter character in the UK dub.[citation needed]

In addition to his acting work, Sherman is also an inventor, specializing in ocean engineering.[citation needed]
