Today I just wanted to give a quick nod towards someone who has an extensive career in voice acting. The thing this man is most remembered for is The Brain from the Pinky and The Brain cartoons, but upon looking at his list of credits, you find that he's had a voice in just about everything, ranging from Inspector Gadget, to Transformers, to Futurama.

Recently, in the second episode of Heroes he provided the voice of Sylar on the answering machine. When I heard it, my childhood said "Hey, I know that voice!"

Looking at his bio on imdb, I see that he did stand up comedy touring with Rodney Dangerfield and George Carlin.

He had a private audience with the Dali Lama.

The dude has an amazing amount of voice talent, and usually when I speak his name to people, people have no idea who I'm talking about. So here, this is who I'm talking about when I say Maurice LaMarche.

I know who he is! Who can not know The Brain?! That was virtually the only cartoon I watched as a kid. [Smile]

I've definitely heard the name, or read it on a few credit screens.

edit: Oh man this guy was Destro on GI Joe?!
