David Ogden Stiers was born in Peoria, Illinois, moved with his family to Eugene, Oregon during high school and began his acting career in Northern California, acting in the Actor's Workshop and California Shakespeare Festival.

He often lends his voice to animated films, with Lilo & Stitch (2002) being his 25th theatrically-released Disney animated film.
