Cousin Oliver was an endearing – or irritating, as some would say – character. The actor found his niche in entertainment by doing voiceovers and producing music. He and director Anthony C. Ferrante did the music for the Sharknado film series, and Rist also voiced many characters in video games and English versions of anime. Most recently, Rist appeared in the TV movie Olde News and on the TV show Buried in the Backyard.
