Career
After graduating, Prince took his performing background in an unusual direction: in 1974 he was hired to perform as Elvis at Six Flags Over Georgia, where he also met his future wife, Donna. The couple subsequently performed together in live dolphin shows at theme parks including Worlds of Fun and Marriott's Great America through 1979.1
In 1980 Prince co-starred in the Gospel Films production "Kevin Can Wait," playing an angel. He received a Best Supporting Actor award for the role, and the film went on to become one of the top-renting Christian films of its period.1
Through the 1980s Prince built a parallel career in advertising, joining the prominent agency Chiat/Day and advancing through a series of roles there. In 1985 he added professional voice-over work to his portfolio, signing with ICM representation for that side of his career. He later founded David Prince Productions to focus on radio commercial production.1
His voice-over credits across the late 1980s and 1990s include animation work on The Adventures of Raggedy Ann and Andy (1988), The Twisted Tales of Felix the Cat (1996-1997), Disney's Quack Pack (1996), and The Mask: The Animated Series.2 He also provided voices for the classic point-and-click adventure King's Quest VI: Heir Today, Gone Tomorrow (1992) and the RPG Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn (2000).2 In the 2000s he appeared in the children's safety series Danger Rangers (2005-2006), voicing Fire Chief Daniels, Fire Ranger, and Tall Tale Tim.2 His video game work continued into 2009 with X-Men Origins: Wolverine, in which he voiced Dr. Abraham Cornelius.2
Following shifts in the voice-over industry brought on by digitalization and labor actions around 2000, Prince transitioned to a second career, becoming a licensed plumber in California for approximately fifteen years before retiring in 2018.1 He subsequently returned to voice-over work and now operates a home recording studio in Hickory, North Carolina.1
Extreme Ghostbusters
Prince contributed guest voice work to Extreme Ghostbusters in 1997, appearing in Darkness at Noon, Part 2, the second episode of the series and the conclusion of its opening two-part story.3 The episode, directed by Rafael Rosado and written by Billy Brown, Dan Angel, and Dean Stefan, follows Egon Spengler and the new Ghostbusters team as they confront the disease-spreading entity Achira, voiced by guest actor Susan Tyrrell.3 Prince provided additional voices for the episode alongside the show's regular ensemble of Tara Charendoff, Maurice LaMarche, Jason Marsden, Pat Musick, Alfonso Ribeiro, Rino Romano, and Billy West.3
