Rory’s career began when he was 15 years old, when he starred in a Heinz ketchup commercial alongside comedy legend, John Candy.

He has also acted in multiple movie and television roles including Suits, Designated Survivor, and Murdoch Mysteries.

In 2000, Rory created his own voiceover studio focusing primarily on narration and live event services to clients worldwide.

From using a British accent for MINI USA as its national branding voice; to show announcer for Family Feud Canada, Rory has recorded everything from cartoon characters to documentaries.

He has also had a 20-year stretch of on-air pursuits in radio and TV including Q107 in Toronto and anchor/presenter for Canada’s national Weather Network.

Rory says he is proud to be associated with the World Demolition Summit 2023.
