Garry Chalk
Garry Chalk (born February 17, 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, Grounder in The Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog, General Blitz in the G.I. Joe offshoot Sgt. Savage and His Screaming Eagles, and Lt. Stone in the other G.I. Joe offshoot, G.I. Joe Extreme, among numerous other roles.
He sounds like every awesome grandfather and uncle you ever had and shakes the hands of fans at BotCon, too. Chalk once secretly video taped Eric Stoltz having sex and as a result was broken in two by a giant fly monster.[1]

- During the audio commentary for "Beast Wars (Part 2)", Garry's cell phone suddenly rings, forcing him to step outside.
