Gustavo Sorola

Gustavo "Gus" Sorola (born February 22, 1978) is a staff member and frequent voice actor for Rooster Teeth Productions machinima series, including Red vs. Blue, The Strangerhood, and PANICS. He is married to Esther Sorola, who has been mentioned in several comics and podcasts from the Rooster Teeth website. His live-action credits include the Rooster Teeth Productions live-action shorts. A running joke in Red vs. Blue is that his character of Simmons (who insists that he is Dutch-Irish) is teased by others to be of a "Latino persuasion". This is an inside-joke towards Sorola, since he is in fact of Mexican ethnicity. In addition it has been stated that the character of Church is based partially off of him, due to supposed similar dispositions. Sorola currently lives in Austin, Texas. Sorola had a pet cat named Gary — after whom the Season 3 character was named — which died at the age of 20. He is also an ordained minister in the Universal Life Church and conducted the marriage ceremony of co-workers Geoff and Griffon Ramsey.
Gus was a founding member of Rooster Teeth Productions, coming from Drunkgamers with Burnie Burns and Geoff Ramsey. One of the videos produced by Drunkgamers was a live-action parody of the Apple Switch ad campaign, which featured Sorola as the main actor, and used Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky's "Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy" as background music, focusing on the lack of games available for the Apple Macintosh computer. He is the primary IT professional at Rooster Teeth Productions, along with Ben King. He also runs the Roosterteeth podcast "The Drunk Tank".
