## Personal life

Kiff was born in Grand Rapids, Michigan, the oldest of five sons. His youngest brother, Andrew Vanden Heuvel, discovered an asteroid in 2003. His grandfather, Ralph Heynen, was a pastor at Pine Rest, an institution in Cutlerville, Michigan. He had a radio broadcast where he would record his sermons in his study and they would be sent to radio stations across the country. Whenever VandenHeuvel's family would visit his grandparents, he made a beeline to his grandfather's study and played with the recording equipment. This is where he credits the beginning of his VO career, playing with his grandpa's recording rig.
VandenHeuvel attended and graduated from Calvin College, in Grand Rapids, with a degree in Communications Arts and Sciences.

## Theatre

VandenHeuvel is an alumnus of The Second City Detroit and The Second City Cleveland mainstage casts and has been working with The Second City comedy theatre since 1998.
VandenHeuvel has appeared in a world premiere in Adam Rapp's urban drama Gompers as the not-so-bright but big hearted doorman/lookout Shoe, which premiered at City Theatre Company in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
