he/him

Voice of Flint from the GI Joe animated series of the 1980s. His role of Flint is also reprised on episodes of Family Guy and Robot Chicken.

In 2009 Ratner and G.I. Joe director Wally Burr were interviewed for the Special Features on the 17 DVD Collectors Set of G.I. Joe released by Hasbro. Ratner and Mary McDonald-Lewis, who provided the voice of Lady Jaye on GI Joe, both did an interview for the 2004 DVD release of the series, recalling how the auditions were like an old time Hollywood "cattle call" with hundreds of actors lined up, holding scripts in shaking hands. Ratner recalled that part of his audition required him to grunt and groan as if he were in a fight. He and Mary had both worked together before GI Joe, doing an ad for a local store, where she remembered her lines but he didn't.

Ratner is an 9-time winner of The Moth Story Slams. His stories are heard on NPR. He is a voice on movie trailers: The Rum Diary, MegaMind, Yogi Bear, Talladega Nights, Blades of Glory, Kung Fu Panda, Monsters vs. Aliens, Observe & Report, The Goods, Extract, Youth in Revolt, etc. plus documentaries on WX Channel, Discovery, History Channel, Smithsonian, A&E, and TV promos on NBC-TV, ABC-TV, Tru-TV, HDNet, Cartoon Network, Nickelodeon, and he is the voice of Udina on Mass Effect I, II & III, storyteller on Ben Ten, and radio voice on Grand Theft Auto.
