He was walking my direction with a mask on but he was on the phone and I knew instantly who it was."

Congratulations Kirby!
One of the greatest voice actors of my generation. The voice-over work he did in Mass Effect was truly remarkable, and his performance in Platoon with Charlie Sheen was definitely unforgettable.
