High School Teacher
As he was studying acting, Ed had to find a way to support himself and his studies. And so, he became a social studies teacher in a high school. Simultaneously, he was also a waiter at O’Neal’s Balloon restaurant. Luckily, his acting career took off and he was able to commit to it full-time. Aside from acting, there are many other things he’s passionate about. One of them is Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. In fact, he got so good at it that he earned a black belt in 2007!
Late Realization
It turns out that Ed is very humble. While he had worked on many different projects throughout his career, one of his most famous ones is Finding Dory, in which he voiced Hank. Well, O’Neill had no idea how significant his role actually was. In fact, he didn’t know his character was the main character until he saw how many lines he had to record! We can’t imagine how funny that must have been.
