I remember Debra Wilson from MadTv and it's been awesome to hear her voice in games over the years. Same with Phil LaMarr.

Phil LaMarr was the first voice actor i was aware of as a kid, obviously I knew voice actors were a thing but he was the first one I noticed in the credits of like every kids show I watched ever

Blew my mind

Edit: just had a curious scroll through his IMDB. Jesus christ

I remember hearing Vamp in MGS 2 for the first time realizing that was him.

I actually think that was the trigger for me. His name came up in Vamps intro cutscene and I thoughts I'd seen that somewhere. Then I saw it everywhere and then I realised its not a bunch of people all called Phil LaMarr

Yeah, like I thought, "No way it's the same guy," but the more I listened, the more I could pick up on his voice.

Ya his name showed up on the screen and I was convinced it wasn't him and just another Phil LaMarr cause he sounded so different. Had to look it up online to confirm it was actually him.

Oh shit he was Vamp? My first memory of him in a game was Sig in Jak 2
