    My mother knew someone who had grown up with Richard and was able to put me in contact with him. (I think I was about 11, circa 2001)
    Not only was I able to talk to him about how he became interested in doing voice work, but he sent me a signed Invader Zim poster!
    It said "To Erik, one of my favorite Human stink-beasts. OBEY THE FIST!
    -Richard Horvitz "I AM ZIM!!!"
    I *still* have that poster, framed, hanging next to my signed InuYasha poster.. oh to be 14 again.

    First thing I ever heard him in though was _Destroy All Humans!_ where he was Orthopox 13 and he sounded a lot like a haggard, pompous, grumpy, demanding, older Zim. Loved that game how he's just barking at you the whole way through.

    I love how all of his voices (or at least his most iconic roles) aren't that different from his normal voice, but they are all very distinct from each other and its amazing. Love this man to bits

    I grinned when I found out that one of the soldiers in mgs4, I shot the soldier with a laughing dart and heard Zim's laugh.

    I've noticed that Richard horvitz plays a lot of alien characters, my favorite is pox from Destroy all humans 1 and 2, played them, beat them, loved them😊

    All these years, and I never knew that Billy and his dad were voiced by the same guy.
    My mind is blown.
