Fun fact

He's done a career-spanning Orson Welles impression so accurate that directors specifically cast him whenever a project needs Welles's actual voice.

The verdict

Born and raised in Toronto, and the voice behind more cartoon icons than most actors get lines — the Brain, Kif's boss Zapp Brannigan's foil energy on Futurama, half of everything Orson Welles-adjacent in animation for two decades. Born, raised, five points.
