ANNOUNCING\u00a0<\/span>RON RUBIN<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>as GUEST for AVALON EXPO 16 SUMMER<\/strong>!!<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
<\/a><\/span>During the course of his lengthy career, Ron Rubin<\/strong> has definitely earned his reputation as one of the busiest animation voice actors in the country.<\/div>\n
There were many highlights along the way, but working with the iconic Stan Lee on the original<\/strong> X-Men series<\/strong> (as Morph<\/strong>) and Avengers<\/strong> (as Vision<\/strong>) were two standouts. He\u2019s currently voicing President Kelly<\/strong> in X-Men \u201997<\/strong>.<\/div>\n
Another standout was his work on the Emmy Award winning Beetlejuice<\/strong>, in which he created multiple characters including Doom Buggy<\/strong> and Flubbo<\/strong>.<\/div>\n
His amazing versatility is evident when you look at his list of credits including C.O.P.S.<\/strong> (Dr. Badvibes<\/strong>), Police Academy<\/strong> (Lt. Mahoney<\/strong>), Donkey Kong Country<\/strong> (Kaptain Skurvy<\/strong>), Angela Anaconda<\/strong> (Uncle Nicky<\/strong>), Stickin\u2019 Around<\/strong> (Mr. Lederhosen<\/strong>), SideKick<\/strong> (Master XOX<\/strong>), Mr Men<\/strong> and The Care Bears Movie<\/strong> (Messy Bear<\/strong>), to name just a few.<\/div>\n
\n

Ron has also been a dominant force in the world of Anim\u00e9 (Bakugan<\/strong> and Beyblade<\/strong>) but he\u2019s probably best known for originating the voice of Artemis<\/strong> in Sailor Moon<\/strong>, a role he performed for the entire run of the North American series.<\/p>\n

WHO IS ESCAPE QUEST?<\/p>\n

Located in scenic downtown St. John\u2019s, Escape Quest has been designed by a local group of\u00a0artists and gamers to deliver the definitive escape room experience.
