2008 Best Voice in NONFICTION & CULTURE: The Monster of Florence

The contrasts of Harlequin romances and Richard North Patterson’s EXILE just show his versatility. Same goes for Max Brooks’s WORLD WAR Z and Daniel Goleman’s SOCIAL INTELLIGENCE. --2007 Narrator Yearbook

Dennis Boutsikaris is a winner--and he has two Obie Awards and an Audie Award (CHASING THE DEVIL, 2005) to prove it. Now he can add another Audie to that list. Max Brooks's WORLD WAR Z won the 2007 Audie for Multi-voiced Performance, and Dennis does the introduction and plays one of its generals. Dennis is delighted to be receiving his third Earphones Award for Richard North Patterson's EXILE. In addition to numerous Broadway, TV, and film roles, he has recorded over 50 audiobooks, including the Earphones winners UNDERWORLD by Don DeLillo and THE TRAITOR by Stephen Coonts. He especially enjoys recording nonfiction and loved working on Daniel Goleman's SOCIAL INTELLIGENCE. Dennis also had fun recording his recent series of Harlequin romances for Audible. He laughs, "The studio gets quite steamy." An avid audiobook fan, he is currently listening to Sam Harris's LETTERS TO A CHRISTIAN NATION. Dennis considers Frank Muller his all-time-favorite narrator. "Whenever I'm nervous about a book, I listen to him. It's a bar to be reached." Dennis is currently recording Joseph Finder's POWERPLAY for Audio Renaissance and just finished a small independent film, "Calling It Quits," in which he has the lead.
