...cartoon voice work? One who has the comic aptitude for it. Murphy provided the voice for Gloria the penguin, the hero's gal pal in Happy Feet, as well as Tank the Eighth Grader on the Disney animated series Pepper Ann.

He is known for his ring artistry, in which he slips and slides in the ring like a ghost, strikes his opponent at so many angles and lands punches with concussive force.(See the meaning and mythos of Manny Pacquiao...
Doing good is going to get a whole lot easier for the Phillips Brooks House Association. The omnipresent Harvard non-profit got a mid-finals period pick-me-up when it won $25,000 in the Chase Community Giving competition for being voted into the top 100 charities in the United States...
