==The Early Years==
After his birth in Baltimore, Maryland in 1964, Bartholomee grew up quietly in a uptown loft. In his mid-teenage years, his father Aloyisius Bartholomee, a lawyer, moved the family to Colombia to work at an up-and-coming law firm there. After his father quit his job there for personal reasons he moved to Ontario and there started his great period of Canadianization. He soon picked up French as a second language so that the kids wouldn't pick on him a school for being an only English speaker. This linguistic shift is speculated to leading to his great interest in spoken language in the future and his multicultural immersion possibly led to his interest in history which he would later use in a career to support his acting. Just kidding that was all a lie. hehehehehehe

==The Platypus Years (a.k.a. His Introduction to Voice Acting)==
Soon after graduating with his Masters in U.S. History from a university, Bartholomee became a naturalist who was especially interested in the wild behavior of platypi. This interest in Hentai so overwhelmed Bartholomee that he moved his outdoor researches to the [[Hentai]] capital of South-Central Texas, Austin. While in Austin Bartholomee was able to find many who had similar interests in platypi. One such person was Travis Dean a [[Hentai]] enthusiast who immediately through friendly joking and impersonations realized that Bartholomee had a voice talent that he could use in his english dubs of his [[Hentai]] productions. Bartholomee being low on funds decided to take him up on it not knowing that this one decision would not only lead to a critically praised career in voice acting but influence generations of voice actors that followed in his illustrious path.
He also guest starred in the following movies:
<p>
''Youve got male...genitalia''<br>
''The Butt Pirates of the Carribiean''
<p>
And Voice acted in the game
''Grand Theft Asshole''

==The mid-2000s Decline==
After Bartholomee hit his peak in 2004, the English-dub [[Hentai]] market fell off quickly. Before when this genre filled almost 17% of the anime market in [[America]], it earned almost $230 billion annually. Since in October 2004 when [[America]] banned all [[Hentai]] content due to its generally Perverted and Violent themes, the market for this genre has almost completely disappeared due to its lack of popularity in countries that aren't [[America]], leaving Bartholomee out of work and on the street. Heartbroken, Bartholomee went back to his two previous occupations. Teaching, and Gay Rights Activisim.⏎
