What is my problem with man, you ask? No, I ask you, what was man's problem with me!

Finally, an answer to a question that has plagued me, and many others for many years. This is a sample used to start a great song, "You Don't Know Me" by Armand Van Helden.

Several people thought it was Charlton Heston from either Planet of the Apes or Omega Man... However, I had a hunch that it might be the voice of the actor that plays "The Brain" from "Pinky and the Brain"... Turns out I was right, though it's not from that series. It is from Dexter's Laboratory (Specifically "Dial M for Monkey" episode "Simion".) Played by Maurice LaMarche.

So, if you haven't come across an answer until now, please watch and enjoy. :)

    Oh my god... You solved one of the great riddles haunting my life... I did not even think about the voice so far, but had thought it might be some lines from the hunchback of Notre Dame or of the Beauty and the Beast... but never would have thought of Dexter's Lab... - Thank you !

    Thank you. I have wondered that myself - was one who just assumed it was Charlton Heston from PotA.

    Maurice LaMarche. Voice acting legend. I met him a couple years ago and really wish I knew it was him on this track at that time!
