He was in a couple of other things too, but you probably haven't heard of them.

- 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
  
  He seems like he had an absolute blast with that role.
- That gif is screaming for a supergalactic treatment.

Best known for saying the word "Space" in Red Alert
- SPAAAAYCE

- Bad. Gorilla.

Happy Birthday you beautiful , singing, transvestite, sewer clown. RIP
- He's still alive
  
  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!
  
  He's gone the way of Wade Boggs. Very sad.
  
  I thought they shot out his deadlights? /s

- What a legend.

Guess the rocky horror picture show is already consigned to the archives

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!"
- In hindsight I think he was onto something
  
  I want to go back to a simpler world, where space wasn't corrupted by capitalism.

Best known as the narrator of the Abhorsen and Series of Unfortunate Events audiobooks

He was in a horror movie, I'm sure lots of people have seen IT.
- Home Alone2? And IT was an orange man in a hotel lobby?
- The Worst Witch wasn't a horror movie, silly!

He was Nigel Thornburry.

Best known for his work as the poet in episode 2 of Lexx.
- Such an underrated show.

Isn't that the guy from "The Worst Witch" and its timeless dance and song number?

- 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

Pretty sure this is his most iconic role
- Have you ever noticed that all of the bad guys in Don Bluth films have big teeth? Even if they're penguins.

The wildest of the Thornberrys

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?
- That would be his role as Doctor Poole in the movie Oscar. One of my favorite comedies of all time.
  
  Yes! Thank you! Here’s the scene https://youtu.be/Bz8u8_39lCo
  Edit: thanks again, that would’ve bugged me for a while lol

You mean Gabriel Knight?

Whatever. He's a hot dog!

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.
