Early life

Education

He attended Eldama Ravine Mission Primary School for his primary education and later joined Nairobi School for his high school studies.

It is during this time that he landed the role to play the voice of Nien Nunb in Return of the Jedi.

Voice of Nien Nunb

Rotich voiced Nunb by speaking in Kalenjin and Kikuyu, both of which are spoken in Kenya. This turned him into a celebrity in Kenya because audiences there could understand what Nien Nunb was saying. Rotich then put a hold on his acting career and decided to pursue business.
