Patrick Warburton

My heads still a-swirl from the con, so report later. For now, filler!

One of my favorite voice actors is Patrick Warburton. I can safely say that you've heard his voice: he has a rich, deep voice that can be suave (numerous "news anchor" roles) to thug-like (Kronk from Emperor's New Groove/School). Amazingly, he is one of the few voice actors who -looks- like his voice sounds: tall, square-chinned and burly. In a less-known role (but SO PERFECT) he played The Tick in the short-lived live action series on Fox. His voice is amazing and his timing is -perfect-! Plus, despite the distinctive sound of his voice, he can play so many roles (great actor).

I just came across a short clip of him in one of the "Get A Mac" series of commercials (AdFreak has them all in one place-- I find them hilarious, but I have owned macs from the beginning). In one commercial, Patrick Warburton appears as a top-of-the-line-PC. He's only on-screen for a few seconds, but he's -perfect-!

This has nothing to do with anything other than I just found the commercial and wanted to share...

My favorite role of his is the voice of Brock Samson, the "Swedish Murdering Machine" on Venture Brothers on Cartoon Network. His voice totally fits the way the charcter is animated and always makes me laugh.

He was GREAT as The Tick. I really enjoyed that show, brief though its run was. I think I saw Warburton most recently in the remake (and spin-off) of Get Smart.

I know Patrick Warburton as Brock Sampson. The Venture Bros. is an awesome series!

Warburton is fantastic as Brock Sampson! He's got such a wide range of vocal expression-- from deadly to WTF. My favorite Brock episode is when he was eluding the OSI and found Steve Austin. His reaction to Austin's Bigfoot "partner" had me rolling!

He is such a good character actor, his voice is instantly recognizable. I particularly enjoy his work as Brock in The Venture Brothers. :)

It's good to have that deep, smooth, lugubrious voice - but the _real_ gift is the ability (and the willingness) to deliver such lines which are either totally in-character with that voice,...or totally, perhaps brazenly contrary to what you would expect. That's the delight.
