Joe
Narciso, clearly has a face for radio and would be homeless if
he couldn't write and/or improvise. He doesn’t like to brag,
but he’s done thousands of commercials, you hear that
THOUSANDS BABY! Joe’s forgotten more than Vaquer will ever
know about mispronounced last names, No Offense to you,
Charlene. When not writing silly bios for
Websites...:
Joe's been seen and heard in commercials
for everything from Coca-Cola to Mercedes-Benz and the current
Thermacare. His most memorables may be his E*Trade "Mr. Dinky"
and his long running FedEx campaign with "40 Year Old Virgin"
Steve Carell. He's been seen many times on Law & Order,
SVU, 3rd Watch, Monk and The Sopranos. But he's proudest of
his Squirrel for Dial-a-Mattres and Serta Sheep
#86.
Prior to becoming a full time actor 12 years ago,
Joe spent years on Wall Street, in technology, eventually
rising to be Global Head of Applications for Deutsche Bank,
with staff in NYC, London, Singapore and Australia.
While at Fordham Univ. he founded, according to the
Jesuits, the first chapter of a National Fraternity in the
history of Jesuit schools. In Alpha Phi Delta he served as
President, a National VP, and was named Outstanding Undergrad.
He was elected Student Body President as a sophomore.
He's a Founding Member of the Voiceactor's Orchestra,
After Hours Comedy Theater & Actors Shakespeare Co. His
work has been recognized with Emmys, Clios and the Golden Lion
at the Cannes Film Festival. Married to his HS sweetheart
Charlene, he's the proud father of Samantha and Sophia.

Jim Conroy is the vocal genius
at Table 34. If you can catch him speaking in his own voice,
there’s a cookie with your name on it. He’s the title
character in 3, count’em 3 animated series, Discovery’s “Kenny
the Shark,” Disney’s Pig & Duck, (he’s Duck) and the brand
new PBS Kids show “Fetch with Ruff Ruffman.” The proud new
father of young Jackson, he named the boy after Tito NOT
Jermaine.
Jim Conroy has worked in the Voice Over
business for the last five years. It has kept him away from
manual labor and Jim appreciates that. He has been in hundreds
of radio and television commercials and is currently working
on two animation projects. He is the voice of "Kenny" on
"Kenny the Shark", for the Discovery Kids Network. Next spring
will mark the launch of
"FETCH! with Ruff Ruffman", for
WGBH on PBS. This will be a new reality game show for kids,
hosted by Jim as an animated dog named "Ruff Ruffman". Jim not
only lends his voice to Ruff, but is co-writing the show as
well. Jim's ability to voice characters as well as straight
announcer makes him a tasty addition to Table 34's menu. Try
the Don Imus, it's delicious.

Matthew Arkin reads
books and does needlepoint when the Table 34 conversation
turns to sports. A Broadway and Off Broadway mainstay here in
New York City, his being Alan’s son and Adam’s brother has yet
to benefit the rest of the table. But his wife’s real cute,
so, you know.
Before he threw it all away, MATTHEW
ARKIN was an attorney, but don’t hold that against him.
Admitted to the Bar in New York State in 1986, his practice
focused on entertainment and real estate law. He has argued
numerous times before the New York State Supreme, Appellate
Division and Federal District Courts, as well as the New York
State Court of Appeals. Now an accomplished actor with

Oliver Vaquer has made a
career out of the pronunciation of his last name. (It's
"vah-care" for those scoring at home, or even if you are
alone) Since his kindergarten performance as The Emperor in
The Emperor’s New Clothes, he’s always been an actor. It was
just a matter of time before he got paid for it or arrested.
Oliver would like to extend his warmest thanks to the other 5
for not being as elitist as he once thought. They are far more
so.
With his father as a part of the theatre community
and his mother in advertising, it’s no wonder that Oliver
ended up in the voice-over business. Accepted to the TISCH
SCHOOL OF THE ARTS at NYU on a full acting scholarship, Oliver
stayed a while before leaving to pursue an active acting
career. Ten years later, goodness knows how many commercial
voice-overs, and more than a few trips back and forth to Los
Angeles, Oliver is proud to call New York his home, proud to
work with the members of Table 34, and proud to call
advertising his business.

Ron McClary’s Table 34 duties
consist mostly of keeping Joe from trying to film every idea
he has ever had, because even Spielberg doesn't have that kind
of money budget. On shoot days, Ron is the baby wrangler and
says “You’re really pushing it, Ed.”” A lot.

Sean Modica is not
this good looking. He's a great guy, a tremendous actor, a
gifted creative and such. He is the kind of guy you'd want
your daughter to marry, but he is simply not this good
looking.
Sean Modica, Producer for Table 34, was raised
in Westchester County, NY. Sean received his Bachelor of Arts
Degree in Theater from SUNY New Paltz. He has appeared in
numerous independant films including this year's "Keane,"
directed by Lodge Kerrigan, produced by Steven Soderburgh.
Sean also co-wrote, produced and starred in "Long Story
Short."
Sean appears regularly in commercials and can
be heard consistently on radio and TV doing Voiceovers for all
the major advertisers. You migh recognize him from the
Heineken Holiday 5 pack spots. Or not. But trust us, he's
funny.

Allegra Cohen is this good
looking, but that's hardly the point. In a previous life she
was Bar Mitzvah dancer. You read that right Bar Mitzvah
Dancer. Is there anything else to say?
Allegra got her
start when Al Alberts discovered her at a shopping mall out of
hundreds of children auditioning to be on his acclaimed show,
the Al Alberts Television Showcase. She danced and cartwheeled
to the “Power of Love” by Huey Lewis and the News---the rest
is dancing history. A former member of Dance Fusion, she
performed at the N.C.A.A. Division I Men’s and Women’s Final
Four Tournaments, NHL All Star Games, Major League Baseball
All Star Games, and even the Grammy’s. Allegra was a back-up
dancer for Nick and Aaron Carter promoting the game, Twister
Moves. Her favorite dancing moments, however, are spent when
she turns 13 year-old Jewish boys into men at their Bar
Mitzvahs.
Allegra played “Gail” on One Life to Live,
and has starred in many regional theatre productions. She has
done voiceovers for MTV, the WNBA, is the voice of “Gergy” the
alien, and was a spokesperson for the most recent ProActiv
infomercial. She has also been the awards girl at the Glamour
Awards, Angel Ball, and James Beard Award Show.
A
graduate of Montclair State University, Allegra was Vice
President of Delta Phi Epsilon, founded the Honors fraternity,
the Order of Omega, and received the award for most promising
actor of her class.
Allegra has been the Head of Sales
for Powerhouse Entertainment and volunteers at elderly
homes.

Ed Jewett rounds out the
group, hailing from the great state of Massachusetts. When not
working in Television and Film, he can be found in front of
his NESN feed. Ed is going to bring the Ted Kennedy Story to
life, even if he has to continue to do it just for himself, in
the mirror, alone, every day. BTW, who's this Vaquer guy?
