Beach City Bugle: Hey, It's That Voice! #13: Atticus Shaffer

Hey all! Time for that article where you get to see other roles that the voice actors of Steven Universe have done! This time, we are going to start focusing on the Fryman family. We will look at one of Steven's best friends in Beach City, Peedee Fryman!

A very sensible and responsible boy, Peedee actually seems to be quite the opposite of the fun and carefree Steven. He's level headed, hard working, and quite possibly a little too-dedicated to the job at Beach Citywalk Fries. But beyond just Peedee's character, who supplies his voice? Well, the voice younger Fryman boy and Steven's good buddy is Atticus Shaffer!

It's a full time job being Steven's friend.

Atticus Shaffer was born June 19, 1998 in Santa Clarita, California. He was born with osteogenesis imperfect, a genetic disorder that affects the bones. He has type I, which causes his fragile bones. But in part of this disorder, it allows Shaffer to play characters much younger than he is. However, he does require a body double for scenes in which he may get injured. His first role was a single appearance on The Class. He continued to get roles in other projects such as Days Of Our Lives, Human Giant, Carpoolers, Leaving Barstow, An American Carol, Out Of Jimmy's Head, My Name Is Earl, The Unborn, Opposite Day, and Hancock.

Shaffer had the honor of waking up the Fresh Prince in the film Hancock.

However, Shaffer's most famous role, which he still has, is as Brick Heck in ABC sitcom The Middle.
