Early Life and Career
Candice Anne Rose Milo was born in Palm Springs, California, however shortly after her family moved to San Jose, where she attended the all-girls Presentation High School. Her father, Tony Migliaccio, was a child actor who changed his name to Milo when he started playing adult roles.
By the age of sixteen, she was already singing in theme park attractions, most notably at Disneyland in Anaheim and afterwards started appearing in roles in movies and television series, such as Gimme a Break!, Knots Landing, Perfect Strangers. Candi Milo was also a member of "The Mighty Carson Art Players"" on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson. She accidentally got into voice over after singing on stage. She was signed by The William Morris Agency for voice acting, which was initially disappointing to her because Milo originally wanted a singing career but settled with a voice over career.
Milo's first voice role was as Sweetie Pie in Tiny Toons Adventures in 1990. Later she replaced Christine Cavanaugh as the voice of Dexter in Dexter's Laboratory in 2001, when Ms. Cavanaugh was suddenly unavailable, and voiced Dexter to the end of the show. Her other voice credits include Snap from ChalkZone, The Flea on ¡Mucha Lucha!, and the title character in the U.S. version of the 2003 Astro Boy (Tetsuwan Atomu) series. Milo says that when creating a unique voice the artist's drawings speak to her and that she prides herself on creating "a full life" for each character.
Milo also played Lonette, a sexy animated waitress; Bob, a member of Holli Would's gang of goons who was a crossdresser; and other characters in Cool World in addition to feeding lines to the other actors. A single mother, she lives in the Silverlake suburb of Los Angeles with her daughter.

Famous quotes containing the words early, life and/or career:
“We have good reason to believe that memories of early childhood do not persist in consciousness because of the absence or fragmentary character of language covering this period. Words serve as fixatives for mental images. . . . Even at the end of the second year of life when word tags exist for a number of objects in the child’s life, these words are discrete and do not yet bind together the parts of an experience or organize them in a way that can produce a coherent memory.”
—Selma H. Fraiberg (20th century)
“A serious problem in America is the gap between academe and the mass media, which is our culture. Professors of humanities, with all their leftist fantasies, have little direct knowledge of American life and no impact whatever on public policy.”
—Camille Paglia (b. 1947)
“I doubt that I would have taken so many leaps in my own writing or been as clear about my feminist and political commitments if I had not been anointed as early as I was. Some major form of recognition seems to have to mark a woman’s career for her to be able to go out on a limb without having her credentials questioned.”
—Ruth Behar (b. 1956)
