Tim Kitzrow
Tim Kitzrow is a versatile voice actor whose extensive work across numerous 1990s pinball machines helped define an era known for its emphasis on high-energy, character-driven audio. He began his pinball career at Williams/Bally, contributing voices for games like Gilligan’s Island (1991) and quickly rose to prominence through standout roles such as Rod Serling in Twilight Zone (1993) and multiple characters in Attack from Mars (1995). Known for his engaging, often humorous style, Kitzrow brought distinct personalities to a wide range of titles, from sports-themed machines like World Cup Soccer ’94 and NBA Fastbreak to comedic fantasy pins like Medieval Madness. His ability to adopt different accents and character types enriched the theme and storytelling of every game he worked on.
Kitzrow’s voice work arrived at a time when pinball was modernizing its sound hardware, allowing for more extensive dialogue and creative callouts. Designers capitalized on his improvisational skills to produce memorable lines that shaped each machine’s personality and, in turn, influenced the industry’s approach to voice talent. His continued contributions into the 2010s—including roles in Stern Pinball’s Deadpool and Elvira’s House of Horrors—demonstrate his lasting significance and enduring appeal. Today, many of the machines featuring Kitzrow’s voice remain fan favorites, and his style continues to inspire both fellow voice actors and game designers.
