Career

Kaye began his career in radio in the early 1980s, working in London, Ontario and eventually transferring to station LG73 (also known as CKLG, which became CHMJ (AM) in 2001) in British Columbia, Vancouver from 1989 to 1994. Whilst there he was part of "The Morning Zoo" team, writing and improvising material as well as creating characters such as "Cowboy Dick." Kaye also had his own slot, the time of which changed over the years. In 1991 his slot aired from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., Mondays to Fridays.

His acting studies include film and television, cold reading, classical theater acting and character voice study.

His big break in animation came in 1989, when he was cast as the voice of General Hawk in G.I Joe. Consequently, Kaye became disinterested in radio, an integral reason behind his departure from LG73. Since then, he has voiced hundreds of characters, his excellent range allowing a wide variety of ages, accents and dialects. For many, his most notable role is of Megatron in Beast Wars. Kaye continued to voice the subsequent incarnations of Megatron in Transformers: Armada, Transformers: Energon, and Transformers: Cybertron series. Kaye was not asked to voice Megatron for the Transformers: Robots in Disguise series. He originally was not going to play the character in Transformers: Cybertron, however, Kaye was later asked to reprise his role after a handful of episodes were recorded with a different actor. This gap was the reason the initial three episodes of the series did not air in the United States until later (and even then, the first two were compressed into a single episode) He has played Megatron for the longest duration when compared with other voice actors of the character. Kaye currently provides the voice of Megatron's antithesis Optimus Prime in Transformers: Animated, which makes him the first actor who has voiced both Megatron and Optimus Prime on a regular basis.

Kaye's live action roles consist of a large majority from the Sci-fi genre, such as Battlestar Galactica, The X Files, and The Twilight Zone. He is often typecast as a television reporter or anchor. Kaye has stated that he often becomes more interested with the technical aspects of live action acting rather than preparing for the roles themselves.^{[citation needed]} Consequently, his on-camera roles have waned. Besides there is little time, as 12 hour days in studio recording tend to cut into his time to seriously pursue on-camera roles. He's been asked on several occasions to 'jump back in'. "When the time is right and I can devote more time to the craft, you bet." Additionally, his theatre work has included the popular plays A Streetcar Named Desire and Of Mice and Men.
