Who is David Warner? David Warner has been Hamlet, David Warner has been in movies...but if you grew up in the 90s, you'll probably recognise his voice as that of at least one Wicked Cultured-sounding cartoon supervillain. His voice is so distinctive that we could easily rename the Evil Brit in his honour.

He pulled triple-duty in Tron as Edward Dillinger, his program counterpart Sark and Big Bad MCP. His performance as Sark heavily influenced Corey Burton's Shockwave voice (so three guesses who got to voice Sark in Kingdom Hearts II). His other roles include...

"Forty-three species of parrot! Nipples for men! SLUGS! Are we not in the hands of a lunatic?"

"Tell me how many lights you see."
