He's been in a wheelchair since he had a stroke in 2012, so most people haven't really seen him in over a decade. But I think he's still doing some voice work!
I wasn't aware of that. What a shame. IMDB shows he's done a handful of VO roles, but nothing since a livestream version of Rocky Horror which was apparently done in front of webcams back in 2020. I hope he's doing as well as he can considering the circumstances.
He was in C&C 3 and I can't help but think he had to have been in other games, right? I probably even played some; but I can't remember anything other than "I'm going to the one place that hasn't been corrupted by capitalism.... Heavy breathing SPACE!"
Yes, but even better known for the reading of this classic Oscar Wilde children's book. I had this on tape as a kid, and his voice is so soothing. https://youtu.be/du3L7iSEbI4?si=HYHXonpaL11juHIf
I seem to recall a scene where he pretends lingerie is currency “… and here’s some more money … oh look! a crisp twenty-dollar bill ...” but can’t remember the source. Am I misremembering?

I love the way he revs up for it but also is trying to keep from laughing

Tim: Fellas, can we do another shot
Director: Don't you fucking dare

Probably the other way around.

He seems like he had an absolute blast with that role.
AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world · 20 pts · 2y
He definitely did. There are some outtake videos and he and George Takei were just hamming it up

He's gone the way of Wade Boggs. Very sad.

Wade Boggs is still very much alive, I assure you.

That would be his role as Doctor Poole in the movie Oscar. One of my favorite comedies of all time.

Forte the pipe organ from Beauty and the Beast: The Enchanted Christmas.
Say what you will about the movie itself, but I absolutely loved this character.
