My Take
You almost certainly know Kevin Michael Richardson's voice even if you have never seen his face. That cavernous bass has anchored villains across Lilo & Stitch, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and countless games, and what fascinates me is how he gives weight and menace to characters with nothing but sound. Voice acting rarely gets its due, yet here is a Bronx-born craftsman from Syracuse who has spent decades turning a vocal instrument into full-bodied performance. He is proof that great character work happens off-camera, and I think he deserves far more recognition as one of animation's quiet pillars.
