Arif S Kinchen
SAG-AFTRA
Arif S. Kinchen, an actor and acclaimed voice over artist, made his acting debut in the American film classic "House Party," featuring Kid 'n'
Play. Bitten by the acting bug, the Los Angeles native went on to land the starring role in the New Line Cinema short film, "The Jacket," guest
starred on the television program "Saved by the Bell: The New Class," and became a household name as La Marr Hicks, office assistant
to Maxey Sparks, on the UPN hit series "SPARKS." The role afforded the young actor the opportunity to reach a large fan base, and his
comedic timing landed him an accredited role in the film "Trippin". He then starred in a string of such zany comedies as "BeverlyHood" and
Dr. Dre & Snoop Dogg's "The Wash".
Most recently, Kinchen starred in the theatrical holiday release of "Christmas in Compton", a family comedy written and directed by David
Raynr, and featuring an ensemble cast including Omar Gooding, Keith David, Sheryl Lee Ralph, Charles Kim, Eric Roberts, Miguel A. Nez
Jr., Edwin Hodge and Orlando Brown.
Lauded for his vocal dexterity, Mr. Kinchen is one of a handful of African American's who have made his mark in the video game industry,
rising to fame with recurring roles in the Volition/THQ series Saints Row and the timeless hits Red Faction: Guerrilla & Tony Hawk: Downhill
Jam. He has also garnered recognition for his work in such animated hits as the Academy Award winning film "Happy Feet" , Cartoon
Network's MAD: The Series, Family Guy and promos for Tyler Perry's "House of Payne" & "Meet The Browns". In addition, he specializes
in the art of "speed talking" and ADR looping. He's voice matched celebs like Martin Lawrence for "Bad Boys 2" and the late Bernie Mac for
"Guess Who".
Mr. Kinchen's acting and voiceover characterizations have afforded him a career in the advertising industry with hundreds of commercials
and campaigns for numerous clients including popular spots for
Boost Mobile, AT&T, Lowe's, Sears, Intuit and 1-800-The General : Car Insurance.
While acting is his primary passion, Arif Kinchen also has strong ties to music and the West Coast Hip Hop community. An MC since the 7th
grade, he is a staunch Hip Hop activist and worked in music promotion for Immortal, Loud, SONY Records and the UNITY Concert Series
prior to landing his role on "Sparks". Kinchen also served as Music Coordinator, contributing the song "I'm Runnin" for the soundtrack of
independent film "Runaways" in which he also starred. Kinchen's own independent project entitled "What ? You Call Dis An ABLUM ?" was
released in the summer of 2001.
Arif S. Kinchen currently resides in Los Angeles, CA, with his wife and their 2 children. In 2013, the man with the distinctive voice will be
featured characters for several new (Anarchy Reigns / Aliens: Colonial Marines (SEGA) ) and recurring video game titles (BioShock Infinite
(Irrational Games) / Saints Row : The IV (Deep Silver/Volition) and GTA V (Rockstar Games North) and numerous animated projects.
