Background[]

He attended college at the University of the Pacific in Stockton, California, where he had many friends[citation needed] including assistant director Michele Panelli Venetis[citation needed] and San Francisco Bay area costumer Alison Barnwell Morris,[citation needed] with whom he costarred in "The Deputy" at the UOP Rotunda Theatre.

He studied theatre along with producer / director Dennis Jones at University of the Pacific in Stockton where the two of them were roommates.[2][3] As well as performing in theaters in the United States, he had also done theaters in Europe. He came to Los Angeles. Some time later, he played three characters in a play. Afterwards he was approached by a producer who offered him work in animation. It was a role in a Hanna-Barbera animation. From there he made the transition from a serious stage actor to voice.[4]

He has also done work on Harry & the Hendersons.[5]

Voice-over career[]

In the late 1980s, he worked on a number of projects. One was providing the voice for Mainframe in G.I. Joe: The Movie in 1987.[6][7] A couple of years later, he was involved in another project. It was on the X-Men in 1989. He provided the voice for Wolverine in Pryde of the X-Men which was the pilot episode for the cartoon series.[8] He had given the character an Australian sounding accent instead of the Canadian one that was expected.[9] An article by Simone Pozzoli for the Italian language OverNewsMagazine Italian stated, molti oggi la vedono come “una profezia” which meant that Pinney's Australian accent interperatation of the character would be seen as prophetic as Hugh Jackman has played the part.[10] He is the first voice actor to provide the voice for the Wolverine character in animation.[11] He has worked in the Phil Nibbelink and Simon Wells directed animation An American Tail: Fievel Goes West.[12] From 1997 to 2001, he worked on Men in Black: The Series in episodes which include The Long Goodbye Syndrome in 1997, The Buzzard Syndrome, also in 1997 and The Big Bad Bug Syndrome in 1998.[13][14]
