Biography

Jerry Beharry (The Dulcet One VO) is an Atlanta-based multi-award-winning professional voice actor and on-screen actor specializing in commercial, narration, trailer, and video game roles with studio-grade home setup. He was born on 13 October 1977 in Boston, Massachusetts to Zennifer Beharry (née Mohammed), a PBX Operator & Roy "Jerry" Beharry, a small business owner. In high school, Beharry was both a jock and an academic. While he was an all-around competitive athlete, he was considered by most who knew him to be even more gifted in the classroom. Beharry attended the University of South Florida on a full academic scholarship, where he double-majored in Biology and Psychology, with medical aspirations. During this time, he also took up martial arts (Shotokan), earning his 2nd degree (Nidan) Black Belt. He graduated with both his Biology and Psychology degrees in 4 years. Before he began acting, Beharry would meet his wife, Neha Beharry (née Desai), a registered nurse, and would have a son (Jayan) and daughter (Avni), supporting them with his work in the IT space (for 25 years), after turning away from medicine.

Beharry's earliest work was as a full-time voice actor. After the passing of his father, he felt the need to honor his memory by wasting no opportunity to chase his dreams, and began seeking on-screen roles, with his first shot coming as a background player in the Marvel Studios film Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 (2023). He would go on to also appear in The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special (2022), as both productions were being filmed concurrently in Atlanta. This gave him a great opportunity to learn from James Gunn as a director, as well as A-list talent such as Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldaña, Dave Bautista, and Karen Gillan.

A string of appearances in TV/Film would follow, with his next role coming in the Netflix film A Family Affair (2024) with Zac Efron, Nicole Kidman, Joey King and, and a few short months later, The Family Plan (2023), with Mark Wahlberg and Michelle Monaghan. It would be a hometown reunion, of sorts, for Beharry and Wahlberg, both of whom grew up in the same rough Boston suburb of Dorchester during the 1980's. He finished filming in 2022 with The Electric State (2025), along with Millie Bobby Brown, Stanley Tucci and reunited on-screen with Chris Pratt.

Things started off well for Beharry in January of 2023 when he landed the role of Dr. Fisher on Gotham Knights (2023), officially making the leap from the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) to DC Entertainment. Hopes of finding further success with this show, however, were soon dimmed as the show was canceled after its first season. A subsequent surgery in 2023 would sideline Beharry for the remainder of 2023, preventing any further filming projects as he took time away from filming to focus on his rehab and recovery.

Beharry would come back strong in 2024 with multiple appearances in Season 2 of the Hulu legal drama, Reasonable Doubt (2022). He also had a very brief appearance on the new Peacock network series Teacup (2024), before landing a role in the highly anticipated Superman (2025), reuniting him once again with Director James Gunn, after taking the role of co-head of DC Entertainment.

Beharry has learned from some of the biggest names in the industry, and continues to wildly vary his film/TV choices, looking to further his career with core roles that allow him to push himself and grow in the industry. He still continues to work in voice-acting.

Quotes

Acting is not simply 'pretending'. No one wants to turn on their favorite TV show or go to the movies to see someone on the screen 'pretending'. An audience can sniff out a pretender. What they want is a connection. Acting is the art of being...an innate ability to reach deep within one's own life experiences, bringing those real and raw emotions to the scene, and using that to connect with the audience. If you can do that, you'll have a chance to succeed in this business.
It's very easy to get lost in the thoughts of what one has NOT accomplished in this business. Instead, focus on those things you HAVE accomplished, and use those wins as the fuel that keeps pushing you forward.
Sadly, there are some people in this world who feel that their power or position can only be attained by making others feel small. I do not understand, nor do I condone this mindset. Be kind to one another. It costs nothing to take a moment to put a smile on someone's face, and let them know that they matter.
While we often view learning new skills or crafts as a means to grow, never underestimate the power of FAILURE. No one enjoys failure, but those struggles hold value. They will teach us lessons. Learn from your mistakes. There is value in learning the right way to do something...but there may be even greater value in learning what NOT to do, if you are to become a success.
I dreamed of acting from a young age, but growing up, I never saw anyone that looked like me on screen. Because of this, I never believed that there was a place for me in TV or movies. This created a lot of self-doubt. Representation matters. It kept me from really taking a shot at acting until I was in my 40's. Things are changing, and I hope to be a part of that change, especially for the little kids now who need to see that it is possible to chase this dream.
