Clancy Brown (Creator)

Clarence J. "Clancy" Brown III (born January 5, 1959) is an American screen and voice actor from Ohio. He is the go-to guy when you need a tough guy, Jerkass, or a Magnificent Bastard. Clancy Brown's distinctive and versatile voice has given him a luxurious voice acting career, although you can still see him in a variety of smaller roles in live-action movies and television. Despite his reputation for playing The Heavy, Brown's coworkers have often cited him as the warmest, most kind-hearted, most sensitive guy on the planet.

Tropes:

Badass Baritone: He has a very commanding, deep speaking voice, hence why he's so in-demand as a voice actor.
Evil Sounds Deep: One of the most prolific villain actors in the business.
Ink-Suit Actor: Governor Azadi and Lt. Hank Anderson look like him.
