Early life
editMatthew Christopher Miller was born inPalm Beach Gardens, Florida.He is primarily ofScottishdescent.[5]His family moved toLos Angeleswhen he was eight years old.[5]He attendedAgoura High SchoolinAgoura Hills, California.[6]He has a brother who is a musician under thestage nameDave Heatwave. He spoke with astutterwhen he was young, leading his father (who also stuttered) to recruit aspeech therapistwho managed to reduce the effects to the point that only certain words trigger it.[5]He adopted "Mercer" (which members of his family had used in the past) as his stage surname because his birth name was too similar to someone already represented bySAG-AFTRA.[5]He had a stint as a member ofThe Groundlings.[6]
Career
editMercer's family advised him against moving into theatre as a career, and so he initially considered working in animation. He was dissuaded by advice from professional animators about the working conditions in that field however, and joined the games industry instead. In his early career he worked as a QA tester and later associate producer on a number ofEdutainmenttitles developed bySound Source InteractiveandTDK Mediactive.After "friends of his father got him some odd jobs in voiceover", Mercer decided to pursue the profession, and resigned from his game development job.[7][8]
Mercer began his voice acting career performing Englishwallaand additional characters in several Japanese anime, and has since also worked in cartoons, video games, and radio commercials. He has been a guest at conventions around the world, hosting at events such asAnime ExpoandAnime Matsuri.His work has expanded to a multitude of roles in cartoons, video games and radio commercials. He directed and produced theweb seriesThere Will Be Brawl,[9]based on theSuper Smash Bros.video game series, where he provided the voices for bothMeta KnightandKirby,and portrayed the role ofGanondorf.He also acted in several shows from theGeek & SundryandNerdistnetworks and produced the web seriesFear News with the Last GirlforFEARnetwhich was a 2010Webby AwardsHonoree for the Experimental & Weird category.[10]
In 2016, Mercer served as theDungeon MasterforForce Grey: Giant Hunters,which ran for 2 seasons.[11]In 2017, he was the Dungeon Master for the Nerdist showCelebriD&D,which puts D&D-playing celebrities into a small, mini-campaign where they are paired with role-players.[12]He has also been a player in otheractual playweb series such asDimension 20andL.A. by Night.[13][14]
Critical Role
editMercer is the Dungeon Master of the web seriesCritical Role,[4]which launched on Geek & Sundry in 2015, where he leads several other voice actors through aDungeons & Dragonscampaign.[15][16]Critical Role was both the Webby Winner and the People's Voice Winner in the "Games (Video Series & Channels)" category at the 2019 Webby Awards;[3]the show was also both a Finalist and the Audience Honor Winner in the "Games" category at the 2019Shorty Awards.[17]Luke Winkie, in ahuman-interest storyforSlate,called Mercer "an expert improviser" and "a maestro with the dice in his hands, weaving interlocking plot lines and complex thematic threads out of thin air" with "the innate ability to make aDungeons & Dragonscampaign feel like a tightly wound limited drama ".[18]Winkie commented that "it can be downright intimidating to watch Mercer when he's at the peak of his powers. As a career voice actor, he possesses all of the subtle performance intangibles that saturate his storytelling with life: the timing, the verve, the language flourishes".[18]
After becoming hugely successful, theCritical Rolecast left the Geek & Sundry network in early 2019 and set up their own production company,Critical Role Productions;[19][20][21][22]Mercer is the company'schief creative officer.[3]Soon after, they aimed to raise $750,000 onKickstarterto create an animated series of their first campaign, but ended up raising over $11 million.[23]In November 2019,Amazon Prime Videoannounced that they had acquired the streaming rights to this animated series, now titledThe Legend of Vox Machina;[24][25]Mercer reprised his role as Sylas Briarwood and other characters.[26][27]
In October 2020, Mercer became the creative advisor for the Critical Role board and card gameimprintcalledDarrington Press.[28]From June to August 2021, Mercer appeared onExandria Unlimited,a spinoff ofCritical Role,as a player.[29][30][31]In March 2022, he reprised his role in the two part specialExandria Unlimited: Kymal.[32][33]
Game design
editHayley McCullough, for theAmerican Journalism,commented that "Mercer is well-known for his homebrew mechanics, character classes, and feats".[34]Mercer's work as Dungeon Master has led to the development of threecampaign settingbooks being published about his world ofExandria.The first is theCritical Role: Tal'Dorei Campaign Setting(2017) published throughGreen Ronin Publishing.[1]The second is theExplorer's Guide to Wildemount(2020) published throughWizards of the Coast,thus making Exandria an officialDungeons & Dragonscampaign setting.[2][35]The third isTal'Dorei Campaign Setting Reborn(2022), a revised and expanded edition of theTal'Dorei Campaign Setting,which was published by Darrington Press, the publishing label created by Critical Role Productions.[36]Tal'Dorei Campaign Setting Rebornwas nominated for the 2022ENNIE Awardsin the "Best Setting" category.[37]
On March 15, 2022, a new adventure module titledCritical Role: Call of the Netherdeep(2022), with Mercer, James Haeck andChris Perkinsas lead designers, was released. It is the second collaboration book between Wizards of the Coast and Critical Role Productions.[38][39]Mercer was then a consultant on the upcomingDungeon Master's Guide(2024) for therevised 5th EditionofDungeons & Dragons.[40]
Personal life
editMercer began dating voice actress andCritical Roleco-starMarisha Rayin 2011, and they were engaged in 2016 before marrying on October 21, 2017.[41]The video of his proposal became popular among fans as it involved an entireescape roomgame he secretly created with theCritical Rolecast as a surprise for Ray.[42]They live inLos Angelesand have a pet corgi named Omar.[43]
Mercer said in 2017 that, while he isheterosexual,he has also been attracted to men in the past and experiencedhomophobiawhile growing up as a boy who liked to experiment with an androgynous appearance.[44]He explained that he tries his best in storytelling to also represent the experiences of closeLGBTfamily and friends.[44]As an activist, he works with variousLGBT rightscharities likeOutRight Action International.[45]In 2018, he revealed that he suffers frombody dysmorphic disorderand has always struggled with his physical appearance.[5]
