Bronson Pinchot

Pinchot has worked extensively as an audiobook narrator, with over 100 recordings as of 2014. AudioFile magazine recognized him as Best Voice in Fiction & Classics for his 2010 renderings of Flannery O\'Connor\'s Everything That Rises Must Converge (1965), Karl Marlantes\'s Matterhorn: A Novel of the Vietnam War (2009) and David Vann\'s Caribou Island (2011).\n', ' Pinchot was born in Manhattan. His mother, Rosina (née Asta) was an Italian American and a typist, and his father, Henry (originally Poncharavsky) was of Russian descent and a bookbinder, who was born in New York and raised in Paris. His younger brother, Justin is also an actor. He was raised in Southern California, where he graduated from South Pasadena High School at the top of his class and was appointed valedictorian. He earned a full scholarship to Yale University, where he was placed in Morse College and graduated magna cum laude. Pinchot began his Yale career in fine art and after he was cast in a college play, a casting director discovered him, which resulted in his film debut, Risky Business.\n', ' In 1999, Pinchot spent a great deal of time in Harford, Pennsylvania, restoring the circa 1839 mansion of former Pennsylvania state Senator Edward Jones. He purchased six properties in the small, rural town of 1,300 "in an effort to revive the town\'s 19th-century aesthetic." In 2015, Pinchot filed for Chapter 13 bankruptcy claiming liabilities between $100,000 and $500,000. All of his properties in Harford were subsequently put up for sale. Bronson told The Citizen\'s Voice, "I have two skills: I can make old houses beautiful and I can make people laugh.... Other than that, I\'m a waste of space. Well, I\'m a dedicated son and brother but I have no head for businesses...." \n', '
