Amongst other things, West has worked as the in-show announcer for the Screen Gems Network. He is also the voice of George Jetson for Radio Shack, Marfalump for the Pepsi/Star Wars ad campaign, various claymation for Brisk Iced Tea and the Red M&M for the millennium M&Ms campaign.  A self-proclaimed Mel Blanc devotee, West recalls that even as a very small child he would listen to people's voices on the radio and imitate them. His big break came in 1988, when he landed the role of Cecil in the cartoon Beanie and Cecil. From there, he was noticed by the creators of Ren & Stimpy, who brought him on to portray the dim-bulb feline, Stimpy, and the psychotic chihuahua, Ren. It was also at that time that he supplied an array of outrageous characterizations for The Howard Stern Show.
