Garry Chalk
Garry Chalk (born November 13, 1953; also known as Gary Chalk or Gary Chaulk) is a British-born Canadian voice actor and screen actor. In addition to his Transformers work, Chalk has also played Donkey Kong and King Hippo in Captain N: the Game Master, Guts Man in Mega Man, Dum Dum Dugan in Nick Fury: Agent of Shield and General Blitz in the G.I. Joe offshoot Sgt. Savage and His Screaming Eagles, among numerous other roles. Also, he played characters in certain animated shows and movies with fellow voice actor Scott McNeil.
He sounds like every awesome grandfather and uncle you ever had. He shakes the hands of fans at BotCon too. He once secretly video taped Eric Stoltz having sex and as a result was broken in two by a giant fly monster.[1]
