Ward played several roles in animation and video games, most notably Captain Qwark in the Ratchet & Clank franchise. In 2006, Ward played Eyemore, Crusher, and Stoker in Biker Mice from Mars, a remake of the 1990s series of the same name. Ward inherited the role of Stoker from Peter Strauss. In 2009, for his roles on the show, he was nominated and won the Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Performer in an Animated Program.
