About Michael Yarmush

Michael Lawrence Yarmush is an American-Canadian actor. He is known for providing the original voice of Arthur Read in the PBS children's animated television series Arthur. He won a Young Artist Award in 1998 for the television series My Life as a Dog, and a Young Star Award in 1999 for his work in Arthur. Since his voice became too deep to perform the title character's voice, Yarmush later played the recurring voice role of the Tough Customer member named Slink starting with the ninth season of the show.
