Dana Hill as Charles

Dana Hill provides the voice for Charles, one of Duckman's brainy, rap loving twins whose heads share the same body, in Duckman, the USA Network animated adult comedy series from Klasky Csupo, Inc. and Reno and Osborn Productions in association with Paramount Domestic Television.

Born in Van Nuys, CA, Hill's career began with prominent roles in highly-acclaimed television movies, almost always dealing with provocative subject matter. Those movies included "Fallen Angel," in which she portrayed a 12 year-old coerced into posing for pornography, and "Silence of the Heart," which addressed the tragedies of teenage suicide. She also portrayed a young schizophrenic kleptomaniac in the ABC afternoon special "What Are Friends For," and a developmentally disabled teenager in the CBS afternoon special "Welcome Home, Jellybean."

She effortlessly segued into well-received performances in features, including "Shoot the Moon" with Diane Keaton and Albert Finney, "National Lampoon's European Vacation" with Chevy Chase, and Oscar-nominated "Cross Creek."

Her recent television endeavors have encompassed supporting roles in the sitcoms "Sugar and Spice" and "The Two of Us," guest-starring appearances in "Magnum, P.I." and "The Fall Guy," and a co-starring role in the TNT film "Final Verdict" with Treat Williams.

For her stage work, Hill was awarded the 1986 Los Angeles Drama Critics Circle Award as Best Featured Actress for her performance in "Picnic" which played at the Ahmanson Theatre and was later televised on Showtime. Additionally, she received the Drama Logue Award for Ensemble Performance for her role as Annelle in the Pasadena Playhouse presentation of "Steel Magnolias."

Today, Hill has parlayed her talents as a child actor into a lucrative voiceover career. She has lent her voice to such programs as "Widget," "Darkwing Duck," and "Goof Troop," and became the first talking voice for the mischievous mouse Jerry in the feature, "Tom and Jerry--The Movie."

A self-proclaimed "sports nut" and original "Valley Girl," Hill lived in Studio City, CA.

Sadly, Dana Hill passed away on June 15, 1996, from complications resulting from her lifelong battle with diabetes. She lives on as the voice of Charles from the first three and a half seasons of Duckman. (Pat Musick will portray the voice of Charles until further notice.)

Duckman is carried on the USA Network. The series is produced by Klasky Csupo, Inc. and Reno and Osborn Productions in association with Paramount Domestic Television. Paramount Pictures is a part of the entertainment operations of Viacom, Inc.
