Happy Birthday to Townsend Coleman, voice actor extraordinaire. People of my vintage may not know his name, but we know his work. Most famously, he was the voice of the Ninja Turtle Michaelangelo…and my favorite, The Tick. (to keep this sports related, he voiced Wayne Gretzky on ProStars) His voice acting profile is here, and he also did tons of commercials, including being the voice of ‘Must See TV’ for NBC back when they had more than one relevant show.
Here’s one of my favorite exchanges from an episode of The Tick, with the evil villain Thrakkorzog:
Ah, that still kills me. And yes, I know the actual birthday was yesterday, but my writing of this was interrupted. Time to re-watch the series, I think.
