Actor Evolution: Clancy Brown

◩◪⬔⬕◩◪⬔⬕◩◪⬔⬕
Are you wondering who this man is, or why he looks so familiar? I bet if you scroll through this whole post, not only will you discover that you already know him, but you're already a fan. Clancy Brown is known for playing diabolical villains, military or the police and quirky side characters. ...And that doesn't begin to scratch the surface of what this man has contributed to voice acting.

Need a deep, threatening voice to bring a character to life in animation? He's definitely a go-to. That doesn't stop him from showing up in the the most random live-action things. He does it all..and hopefully we'll just continue to be surprised and delighted when we see or hear him.
