Tony Kim

Tony Kim is an actor born and raised in the tiny town of Vancouver, BC and has since moved to the slightly larger town of Toronto, Ontario where he is enjoying his time hosting on CBC Kids! Among his achievements, he is particularly proud of lending his voice to various animated shows including playing a lead character Beyblade Burst (a series that he grew up loving). His most recent achievements include voicing a character for his first audio book (We Contain Multitudes), channeling the spirit of Freddie Mercury for a kids segment on The Studio K Show (watch out Rami Malek) and successfully hosting board game nights without screwing up the rules too badly! In his spare time, Tony enjoys playing video games, endlessly rewatching episodes of The Office, singing at the top of his lungs and creating weird noises and voices with his partner at home. Fun fact: he has also had his first EVER trip to Disney World this year and will find any excuse to talk about it (including in his own bios). Yes, he did cry during the fireworks show in the Magic Kingdom.
