James Kevin "Jim" Ward (born May 19, 1959; New York City, New York) is a voice actor who has contributed to a large number of video games and movies. He was the co-host from 2004-2014, and again from 2015-2017 of The Stephanie Miller Show, a nationally-syndicated liberal radio talk show which features a number of his impersonations of political figures and other celebrities and newsmakers. On the show, it was revealed that Jim went to the University of California, Los Angeles, where his father, Don Ward, was a professor of German and folklore. In 2021, it was reported that Ward had developed symptoms of Alzheimer's disease and contracted a severe case of COVID-19, leaving him unable to continue voice acting.
