AKA:
Candy Milo, Candi Milo, Cindi Milo
Candi Milo, born in San Jose, California, began her career as a singer working for Disney in two shows created especially for her. She then settled in Los Angeles and worked as a stand-up comic and singer for Princess Cruise Lines, becoming one of their youngest-ever nightclub performers. Stints as a stand-up led her to open for Joan Rivers and Howie Mandel as well as appear on several television shows like Comedy Express, Evening at the Improv, and a sketch-comedy show that was the creation of the late Brandon Tartikoff.

A spur of the moment audition led to a role in the

More original touring company of Dreamgirls directed by Michael Bennett, choreographed by Michael Peters and starring Jennifer Holiday.

Candi moved into television in Reaching for the Stars, a Real World-type TV movie-of-the-week where the ending included an appearance on the Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson. She then went on to be recurring characters on such hit shows as Gimme a Break, Perfect Strangers, Knot’s Landing, Days of Our Lives and Empty Nest. Many other shows followed as did feature films such as; Bad Medicine, Almost An Angel, Dead Women In Lingerie (A Venice Film Festival Grand Prix Winner) and I Don’t Buy Kisses Anymore.

But it was doing the feature film, Paramount’s Cool World, with Brad Pitt and Kim Basinger, that Candi really discovered her passion – animation voice-over. She voiced twelve characters in that film, as well as threw lines to the actors on the set, helping to create the glances and reactions the actors used in the film. From there it was Steven Speilberg’s Tiny Toon Adventures and Hanna Barbera’s stable of actors. To date she has created over 200 characters for cartoons.

Currently, she plays Nick Dean, one of the stars of the Academy Award Nominated Film, Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius and is currently at work on the series that will debut this fall. She also stars as Dexter, in Cartoon Network’s hit show Dexter’s Laboratory. She plays all four lead characters in Warner Brother’s new show, Mucha Lucha! and plays Ms. Diaz in Disney’s new show, Stanley. Candi hopes that Cartoon Network will pick up a great pilot called Private Eye Princess in which she plays the bumbling, inept, yet strangely lovable princess.

In animation, she has had the honor of working with many great actors including the late Mel Blanc, the late Vincent Price and the brilliant Brock Peters.

Commercials are great for keeping the acting muscle working and Candi has appeared in over 300 voice and on-camera spots. Her campaigns have included Mervyn’s department stores (She still can’t walk into a Mervyn’s without somebody coming up to her and saying, “Open! Open! Open!”), Perkin’s Family Restaurants, Southern States Ford and Rhodes Furniture stores.

Currently Candi is writing her second feature film script as her first, her life story, entitled Milo’s Arms is currently in consideration by Hallmark Entertainment.

She also performs a stand-up/pop show called; Hip Is A Relative Term. Her other one-woman shows; Life’s Too Short…And So Am I (produced by Academy Award winner Marlee Matlin), Playing Well With Others and I Am Absolutely Exhausted, were mounted to high acclaim in Los Angeles.

This hard-working single mother currently resides in Calabasas California with her daughter.

    she reminds me of Tara Strong hide show

    wow. she does many voices. and honestly, no matter how hard i try to recognise it, i just can't. She is amazingly amazing. her voice acting is really cool. i mean she actually does male voices like Tara Strong and there is no way you can recognise it. i was kinda surprise when i saw she did Nick Dean in Jimmy Neutron. wow. tried hard to match it with Dexter's voice. could not match it.
    i think she is so Tara Strong. but i think Tara Strong is still better than her. Still she is one of the best voice actress ive ever seen/heard.
    never seen her act though..

    Candi Milo can do many good voices. hide show

    Candi Milo is a great voice actress! She, unlike other voice actresses, has a great larnyx, that can produce many different voices for her characters. In fact, she plays some of the best cartoon charaters I've ever heard on television, such as Dexter (later episodes) from Dexter's Laboratory and Coco and Madame Foster from Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends. I've even heard her sing with her extrodinary voice at her website. Anyways, I hope she will continue to entertain cartoon viewers all over America with her great vocal talents for years to come.

    Ummm good. hide show

    Candi milo did lots of shows but the only thing is that I dont like any of the shows she did. Mucha Lucha was not as good as most shows ive seen and also Chalkzone. I gave her a good score because of her increible voice. I love the voice of The Flea from Mucha Lucha and Snap from Chalkzone. I will just say Candi milo is one of my favorite female voice actors. My other favorite female voice actors are Tress macneille and Tara strong. Her voice sounds like a boy and I like it. I wish her the best of luck on any shows she is doing.

    Candi Milo is original. Her voices are... hide show

    unique. Every one of them sounds different. Not only are the voices different the characters she plays are different. Take Snap a chalk dude and Co-Co an imaginary friend and Nora Wakeman a scientist they are all very different characters voiced by the same person. Candi Milo also does voices on The Life and Times of Juniper Lee. She's Maya Santos on Maya and Miguel. If you watch the Adventures of Jimmy Neuutron: Boy Genius you will get to her voice Nick Dean. You can also her voice on the show witch while she voices Irma. She is a talented voice actress doing both the voices of a girl and a boy.
