There can be only one man with the secret recipe of the Krabby Patty.

Clarence John "Clancy" Brown III (born January 5, 1959 in Urbana, Ohio) 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.

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: Montross, Governor Azadi, Alec Ryder, and Lt. Hank Anderson all look like him.
