  • EP#293: Home Sweet Hellmouth - An Interview with Kristine Sutherland
    Nov 25 2024

    Join Justin as he chats with actor Kristine Sutherland about life in Italy, her love of the stage, studying in London, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and more!

    Kristine Sutherland bio:

    “Kristine Sutherland's first love was theater. She went to an audition in high school as moral support for a friend but ended up auditioning herself. She worked as an actress on stage through the 80s, landing a few pilot roles as well as her small secretary part in Legal Eagles and her big-screen debut in Honey, I Shrunk the Kids.

    In 1993, Kristine and her husband,
    John Pankow, moved to Los Angeles, looking to enjoy their daughter's upbringing. Kristine told as few people as possible that she was moving and was surprised when she received a phone call from her agent, telling her that he found a part she'd be perfect for. She auditioned for the role of "Joyce Summers" on television's Buffy the Vampire Slayer. In 1999, John and Kristine decided to move to Italy for a year, intending to go for the duration of a school year, giving their daughter the chance to learn a language organically. Whilst Eleanore studied at school, Kristine flew back into the USA occasionally to film a few episodes of "Buffy". In 2000, they moved back to America, keeping a house in both Los Angeles and New York. Since leaving the show, Kristine has pursued other interests. She is a very keen photographer and became a qualified photographer thanks to a college course at the Santa Monica College.”

    He soon started auditioning and booking several stage roles throughout the L.A. area and is proud to say, was a founding member of the Friends and Artist Theatre Ensemble. After several television and movie roles he stumbled onto voice acting by mere accident through a friend, and is pretty much the world in which he enjoys a successful career in today.

He can also be heard lending his voice talents to such live action shows such as, USA's Mr Robot, NBC's Grimm, ABC's Once Upon A Time, as well as countless others. Along with his television work he can also be heard lending his voice to such movies as Godzilla, GI Joe, Twilight and many others. Although voicing several video games throughout his career, Jutah Fate of Silent Bomber is still his favorite.”
