Kiff VandenHeuvel (born Christopher Jon VandenHeuvel) is an American actor, director and teacher of both improvisational comedy and voiceover.[3]

He is the host of the voiceover podcast, All Over Voiceover with Kiff VH.[4][5] His film credits include Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, Nightcrawler, La La Land, and Behind the Candelabra as Wayne (the half-brother of Liberace (Michael Douglas)). He is best known for his work as Zachary Hale Comstock in BioShock Infinite,[6] Skavak in Star Wars: The Old Republic, Walter in Telltale's The Walking Dead, and as Cliff Rich on the Netflix series Richie Rich.[7][8][9]

Personal life

Kiff was born in Grand Rapids, Michigan, the oldest of five sons.[10] His youngest brother, Andrew Vanden Heuvel, discovered an asteroid in 2003. His grandfather, Ralph Heynen, was a pastor at Pine Rest, an institution in Cutlerville, Michigan. He had a radio broadcast where he would record his sermons in his study and they would be sent to radio stations across the country.[10] Whenever VandenHeuvel's family would visit his grandparents, he made a beeline to his grandfather's study and played with the recording equipment. This is where he credits the beginning of his VO career, playing with his grandpa's recording rig.[10]

VandenHeuvel attended and graduated from Calvin College, in Grand Rapids, with a degree in Communications Arts and Sciences.[10]

Theatre

VandenHeuvel is an alumnus of The Second City Detroit and The Second City Cleveland mainstage casts and has been working with The Second City comedy theatre since 1998.[11]

VandenHeuvel has appeared in a world premiere in Adam Rapp's urban drama Gompers as the not-so-bright but big hearted doorman/lookout Shoe, which premiered at City Theatre Company in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.[12]
