Jeopardy! fans will take hearing champion Peter McFerrin’s speak for another game, please. Fans of the game show have been swooning over his dulcet tones, saying he could be a voice actor.
McFerrin, now living in California, is originally from Indiana, so he still has a noticeable southern accent. He shared that he grew up in Illinois, where he met Yogesh Raut and James Holzhauer in school and while playing softball. The energy industry professional is being talked about among the fandom for his deep voice.
