About

Born in 1971, Heyman co-founded the studio with Burnie Burns, Matt Hullum, Geoff Ramsey and Gus Sorola, lending his voice to The Strangerhood, The Gauntlet, and RWBY.

Biography
Joel Heyman voiced Michael J. Caboose in Red vs. Blue from 2003 until 2020, the web series that helped define early online animation. He co-founded Rooster Teeth alongside Burnie Burns, Matt Hullum, Geoff Ramsey and Gus Sorola, and appeared across their slate including The Strangerhood (2004–2006, 2015), The Gauntlet (2012), and RWBY (2013–2020). Born September 16, 1971 in the US, Heyman is a screenwriter whose voice work became central to Rooster Teeth's transition from YouTube curiosity to production studio. As a Virgo, his methodical approach to character work—especially Caboose's fractured cadence—refined web-native voice acting conventions. Life path 7 suggests an introspective arc; his decade-plus tenure in a single role demonstrated sustained commitment to building narrative depth in a medium often dismissive of serialization. American male actors of his cohort rarely anchored a single project for this duration, making his consistency notable.
