My Take
Arthur Burghardt is the kind of performer I admire most: the voice you know without knowing the face. Born in New York in 1947, he logged daytime drama time as Jack Scott on One Life to Live, but it's his cavernous bass that earns my respect, voicing Devastator in The Transformers and Destro and Stalker in G.I. Joe. He was also the first Black actor to play Disney's Pete. That quiet, craft-driven career, building memorable characters out of pure sound, is exactly the sort of legacy I think deserves more credit than it usually gets. A true voice artist.
